4 Month Pictures Posted Today...

WOW!!! You are so thin and healthy looking, like an RNY poster child.

Aw...thanks so much...oh my..."poster child"---goodness, no......I'm just a good rule follower & trusted Dr. Houston & Centennial enough to follow exactly what they said to do......I actually think I am going to get through this journey w/out having to have any plastics....my body seems to have remembered (amazingly!!!) what it is supposed to be looking like...of course, I'll revisit that in 40-50 pounds!.

what a inspiration you are to those of us who are fixing to have surgery!! I will have my RNY august 10th and I am so nervous until I read posts like this and know I can have my life back too! Thanks for sharing your pics , you look like you are already at goal weight..........very pretty!

I absolutely, positively have NO regrets about having RNY surgery--lots of great research on who I wanted to do my surgery plus a "gut" feeling that it was the right thing to do....and now I am just thrilled I did it.  Of course, it's not always easy---post-surgery there will be times when you hurt & can't eat & can't get your protein in, but I NEVER regretted it---there wasn't a moment when I woke up & thought, "What did I do?!?!"--I knew it would have to be tough, but I kept focused on the goal & followed my doctor's orders to a "T" (of course, I still can't eat two eggs in one sitting & there is no way I could eat 3-5oz of protein plus a low carb veggie or two at one time). 

Anyway...everyday I am so thankful for this surgery....I loved my life before surgery & felt so lucky to have my husband & three kiddos, but now I feel really lucky to have ME back in our active, happy family!

So, you are in for a WILD rest of the year!!!! This will be such a life changing experience for you...and remember, the first year after surgery is the window in which you need to re-learn how to take care of yourself...don't let it pass you by!

Good luck....I can't wait to see your post-op pictures!! xo, Micheala.
