5-Year Surgiversary

Hi everyone!

I just realized yesterday was my 5-year surgiversary.  5 years ago I began a new journey, and my life has not been the same since.  My attitude & relationship with food changed.  I no longer have the aching hunger and obsession with food.  A small amount of food satisfies me and keeps me going.  I can't overeat anymore, because it's just too uncomfortable.  If I eat too much of the wrong kinds of things, there are certain unpleasant side effects I would rather avoid. I've learned to respect and love myself.  I take pride in my appearance.  I've become quite a "girly-girl"!  There are things I still struggle with, like getting enough protein and calcium.  I sometimes forget to eat.  However, Iast January I saw my surgeon, and he said my blood levels are great and that I reached my goal weight!  He said I'm one of the rare 2% of people that have this surgery who lose all of their excess weight.  So far I am keeping it off, God willing, and it's really not much of a struggle at all for me.  I ♥ my RNY!

CONGRATS ON YOUR 5- SURGIVERSARY!!!!!!!! I am soooooooooooooooo happy for you!!! 

"I ♥ my RNY!"
