Tomorrow, I will be 2 months out and life is great; so great that I haven’t had much time to get on this site. It is amazing to me all the things I can do that I couldn’t or had a hard time doing before. I can bend down and tie my shoes without feeling like I am going to die from lack of oxygen. I can turn over in bed without struggling and felling like a beached whale. I can put on clothes and they fit just right without my pants rolling down, or my shirt rising up. There is a whole list of big things, but also there are so many little things. Like I noticed the other night when I sat in an auditorium seat to watch my son’s girlfriend sing that I didn’t feel like I was all crammed into the seat with my stomach all poking out. I just felt normal and like everyone else. Having the surgery was probably the best decision I could have ever made, and I am truly thankful I was able to get it to save my life. For all the newbie’s: I MY RNY! Thanks to all my OH friends for cheering me on these last couple of months and making this journey easier. There are pictures on my site if you want to take a peak.

Loved seeing your pictures and hearing about your progress.  I am just a little further out than you....am loving my RNY too!  I have been trying not to be frustrated and compare myself to others weight loss and just be happy it's coming off....slowly but surely...I "stall" for a couple of weeks and then drop a chunk and so I have to just not let myself freak out....otherwise, no complications at all so far. 

Best wishes!  Kim

Kim, I am glad to hear I am not the only one that stalls. It can be very frustrating.
I have been trying to weigh only on Monday's and Friday's. Put some pictures up so I can see you.

Have a Merry Christmas, Crissie

Congrats!!!!  I can wait to start my new life....hopefully soon  

Thank you. It goes faster than you think. It will be here before you know it.

Merry Christmas, Crissie

I am so happy for you! I am 2 weeks out and have to say I love my RNY also, and only wish I had decided to do it a long time ago! Congratulations and way to go!

Thank you. Me too! That is my only regret...I could have been thin in my 20's or 30's...lol.

Merry Christmas, Crissie

 I could have been thin in my 30's and 40's..i can't believe i didn't do this earlier.  I have had no problems with my RNY.  I can eat most all foods and i have dropped a lot of weight.  I have stalls too and/but i feel awesome.  The only thing that bums me out is i need new clothes and don't know how to shop for myself..and i have not really shopped for myself for years..i don't want to get to many things because i know in 2, 3 months i will be even less weight.  My winter coat is getting to big for me..lmao i can't believe that.  I leaned down and put socks on and could lean down and breath just like old times.  I sat next to a person at my daughters concert last night and she was taking up the seats and not me for a change and finally about 5 people came up to me and complimented me on my weight loss.  Like you i felt normal.  The best thing i ever did was have this surgery..  I hope we keep being successful...congats crissie and everyone else on your weight loss.. life is good!! 

We will just keep plugging a long and we will get there. Glad you are doing so well. I feel blessed to be able to have had the WLS.
Merry Christmas....this will be the first one where I want be sneaking around and eating lots of candy...lol.
