Thank you for your best wishes and Iook forward to seeing more (or less) of you too!

Ladies,

When I began this Journey, I knew it wasnt going to be easy but the more I commit to it and see these results, the harder I want to continue it.

Just the other day, I was thrown out at third base trying to stretch a double into a triple. A DOUBLE into a TRIPLE!!! Before, I was happy with getting a courtesy runner after I reached first.

I am truly so happy now and so is everyone who gets to enjoy me for many, many, many more years because I will be around that much longer.

Topic: RE: New from Hampton VA

Welcome to the group Kris. For most surgeons, it takes 6-9 months from initial orientation to surgery. Partly due to insurances that require a 6 month dietician visit. The other ladies said things well. Start with little changes as you go through the pre op stuff. Switch to a salad plate, the smaller portions still look like a "full plate" interesting way to trick the mind. Try to separate drinking fluids from your meal by 30 minutes, this is very hard for us, we are used to "washing" our meals down. Your new pouch will not tolerate this after surgery.

Welcome to the group Camille. As Mag put it, things have been slow. Keep posting, reading and know that we are here for your support.

I am about 2.5 years post RNY and doing things that I only dreamed of accomplishing before surgery. I agree support makes all the difference.
