Finally, my surgery date
Hi there. I started the RNY journey in Feb 2017 and just finally got my surgery date. January 23rd. It took a long time because I had to work out things with my therapist. I wanted to get some eating problems under control and am still learning.
Happy to have the date. Just nervous.

Congrats on your surgery date! I also applaud you for working on your eating before surgery.

I'm 8 yrs post op. I lost 170 lbs. It's a lifetime commitment not a quick fix. I have maintained snd haven't fluctuated more than 30 lbs but I have to work on it every day. When i see I'm off track I go back to basics and get it back under control. I could never ho back to my old life. I have nightmares about that actually. Itd a deep rooted emotional struggle and only those who have been through obesity can relate. Fo everything your doc advises. Protein... protein... protein. I tracked everything I put in my mouth for the 1st yr. I counted carbs, fats, calories and protein.
GOOD LUCK
