11 months out... With Pics... Worth every effort for WLS

Well I am a few days out from 11 months out from my RNY..... And by far the best decision (and investment) that I have ever made. People ask me if I would do it all over again and without any quesiton the answer is yes.  If you would have asked me 2 months out I would have told you to give me my money back, but like everyone on the boards say, it gets better. I'm at 200.2 right now (please goodness I hope by tomorrow im 199) but I dont really care if I am. 

I went thru 2 months of liquid diet to get my weight down to have the surgery, had a stricture at 1 month out, have (and will continue to) monitor vitimin B12, B6 and Potassium issues but its nothing that can not be fixed with going to the doctor on a regular basis - which i do every 3 months.   I do work out 4-5 times a week for at least an hour (I'm determined to lose another 50 pounds and run a half marathon by the end of the year). I try to stick to the program set for me by my surgeon (have I went off - yes I had fast food, i drank, drank a soda, and ate sugar -- all which were a big mistake for me at this point).  I am not going to give up any of that, just start intoducing at a healthly rate :)

If I stopped losing weight right now I would be happy.

Good Luck to everyone :)
