7 years out today...
Well there it is...The good and the bad. A few months ago I was up to about 234...I've dropped 10 pounds and sit at about 224 today. Wanted to get the picture in before sunset. RNY doesn't really help with the aging process...I'm still getting older.
It seems like just the other day they were wheeling me into the operating room. Then the "what have I done to myself"?? As the pounds fall off you have more freedom. You learn how to eat differently. Over the years you stop thinking about the surgery. You make the changes and it becomes part of your lifestyle. If haven't made the right changes (sugar, chips, chocolate, etc...) the pounds creep up. It's a tool you've been given and you want to use it wisely. I'm still riding my bicycle a lot and exercising. We have a 20 acre farm and that keeps me busy....Anyone need some manure? I'm not on these boards much, but there is still a wealth of knowledge here. You new guys can get great info. Well, that's my story...Thanks for being a part of it. Brian
