I'm Back... I have not logged on in years... Had RNY back in 2007
I had my surgery March 2008. I did really good, maintaining at my goal. In November of 2012 I started losing weight, feelin like I always wanted to sleep, bruising easily, well after much testing on 1/11/13 I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. What a shock!!! My appetite has changed & my tastes have changed too. I take a chemo pill every day, for the rest of my life. It sucks because I've put on 30lbs since my diagnosis. This makes me more depressed. I know it's because of the fatigue I don't do much, and I don't eat well either, I just eat what I can, grits, grilled cheese, for example. Anyway, that's my story, I hope to lose this extra weight. I haven't posted in so long because I've been dealing with leukemia.
Hey, Jordan
I had my RNY in April 2005. I've kept at around 145-150 down from 330. I've had some health issues, specifically anemia and gastric issues (gastroparesis, diverticulosis), so my food is very limited. I don't care very much. If a food hurts, I avoid it. I drink a lot of protein shakes to avoid trouble. But I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. I'm 61 and I don't know what the future will bring, but I've lived the last 10 years thin and I freaking love it. And there is not a day I'm not conscious of it. Anybody else that doesn't think it in a day? I can't imagine.
Hope YOU are doing well!
