RNY on 11/06/13 with

I've been lurking but I thought I would post just to say hello. I'm quite new to all of this, as well as being already just over 1 week post op. My RNY surgery was last Wednesday, November 6th. I started above 42 BMI, but was just about 40 BMI on surgery day. I think this might qualify me as a Lightweight, although I can't see myself getting below 160, even though my doctor thinks I'll end up in the 150's.

I plan to attend a local support group as well, but online/e-mail is the way that usually works best for me to communicate and keep track of my life. It feels really strange to not really have any questions so far, but I've been doing pretty well with all of my doctor's orders, and since I'm super forgetful, my hubby and daughter are here to help me when I need it as well. I honestly cannot wait to get back to work. I've been at home this week, and I'm ready to get back now.

Just wanted to say hello, and hopefully make some new friends! Hello LW's!

160 should be easy for you :)

I set my original goal at 150 and got 20 lbs below it, lowest was 129. Now I am at 131 and trying to stay close to there.

Hurray for RNY. I love mine and hope you will do, although it may take you a while to get over the sore, and on to real food. Looking forward to following your journey!

One of the good things about being a lightweight is we are more likely to reach goal and many go below it. It is good to have a higher goal though to keep from being discouraged. If you stick to the plan and use this "honeymoon" time to reinforce new habits you will be surprised at the results.
