HAPPY SURGIVERSARY JAY!

I'm a bad wife-to-be that I didn't post this earlier! Babe you've done an awesome job since your surgery and look great. I know you feel great too. Can't believe it's been two years since we first spoke on the phone. Just amazing how time flies! I am so proud of you and all that you've accomplished and all that you continue to strive for despite the set backs. You picture should be in the dictionary next to the word "perserverance" for your ability to keep pushing forward even though things often don't look that promising. Thank you for coming into my life and Dakota's life. Our life together is wonderful and continues to become better everyday. I love you.

OOoooooh....I love you too..... BAHAHhahahahah Good job Jay!

YOU LOVE HER TOO!? wow. I can see why but she's taken. hahaha. this isn't going to turn into a bride on bride thing is it?

thanks babe. we'll celebrate tomorrow when i'm home. i can't wait to get there. I'll always love ya.

congrats jay

Thanks Kelster. it's getting to the point where congrats on two years sound more like "beware" I like being the size i am now, i sure hope i can stay this way!

Happy surgiversary! About 18 months out is when I started having problems with food, malnourishment, being doctor ordered to eat more, being prescribed drugs for medical problems due to the surgery that made me gain weight, etc...Now, endocrinologist prescribed meridia. I'm thinking, dude if that worked the first time, I might not have had to have surgery. For most, rny is a good thing. For me, I've developed more health issues after and they cannot get them under control; nor can I. But 2 yrs out and you're fine! You've made it through the worst and you're gonna stay the way you will look in your wedding pictures for years to come.

thanks Liz. I hope you're right. i have my own problems with medicines and pain and such. Just finished a medridose pak which will probably cause weight gain and i think i'm malnourished and need to get back on the vitamin train as i'm sooo weak and feeling so ill lately. I really hope i can keep it together. this trip has been hell due to my health issues. i'm hoping when i get home things get better. I am home tomorrow about ten minutes before midnight. I can't wait.

you will be absolutely better...you will be in melito's arms CONGRATS my friend....I so remember the first surgery you had planned and how that got pushed and NOW look where you are....SIMPLY AMAZING....you have perservered so much and I am so proud of you....stay strong and positive and you will conquer the world Have a safe flight tomorrow.....next week at this time I will be in Natie Poo's arms....I CANNOT WAIT 36 days until I am his wife too...wooooo hooooo!

The malnourishment will make you feel weak. Even though I've gained 1/2 my weight back due to medicines and a now known food allergy (exacerbated by the rny), it is all I can do to get up and go to work some days. Please please please, watch the things you eat and how it affects your, ahem, bowel movements. That's how I started the diagnoses of Celiac's disease. The bms were, well, there but uh explosive and liquid. This was due, in part, by the bypassing of the intestines because the little hairs took care of the gluten issue. Since I have 100 centimeters bypassed, it wasn't taking care of it. Get your b-12 shots. I HAVE to have 2 full syringes full of b-12 injections each week. My body uses every bit of it along with taking 5 sublinguals of b-12 daily with all the other vitamins. I come home weary, still have a gym membership, just can't get to it. I fear, as well as some family, that I have screwed my body up for life. My doctor is determined to make it better. I know you don't necessarily believe or not believe in it, but he is a praying doctor and it makes it a bit more comforting to have him pray with me at the end of an appointment and he asks for guidance to help me feel better. I hope your health issues are not surgery related. I wish with all my might that your health issues are not surgery related. I used to be the poster child for wls. I was perfect. I exercised, looked good, ate very little, did not cheat, etc. Someone asked me last week if I would do it again and I honestly could not tell them I would. But I was feeling very ill at the moment. Have good flights home!
