Update: 7 Months Post Op RNY
Well, I read alot here but don't post that often. I'm now just over 7 months post op RNY - LAP. August 10th was my surgery date. As of this morning I'm down 154 lbs since surgery and down 179 lbs since last June (lost 25lbs pre-op). I've had no complications. Have had no issues with dumping. Just a handful of times where I ate a little to much or swallowed something without chewing enough. An encounter with that will make ya think the next time ya eat LOL.
On the positive side. I'm excersising regularly. I'm up to 40 - 45 minutes on the treadmill and then another 15 minutes on the Bowflex. If I'm traveling for work. I use the treadmill in the hotel and swim some laps. I have two sons 11 and 6. This Spring i'm Coaching the older sons baseball team. I could never have done that this time last year. We've been out throwing the ball for the past couple of weeks. This past weekend we played 2 solid days of baseball. My muscles are hurting but in a good way :) One of my goals just after surgery was to take the boys golfing in the Spring. I used to play alot of Golf but as the weight came I just stopped. I'm right on target with my goal. This weekend I went to the local Golf Club and got available times and prices. I CAN'T WAIT !!!
I know I can't let the success I've had so far go to my head. I still have a quite a ways to get to my goal. I've made a hell of a dent in it though. I'm well on the way to getting my life back :)
Thanks for listening everyone :)

Congratulations. At six months post RNY-LAP, I can identify with what you are experiencing. I'm no golfer, but I just got back on a bicycle after a twenty year hiatus. It was great!
You and your kids are lucky you decided to take this big step. I missed a lot of doing things when they were young because of my obesity. Good luck.
