Thanks, Molly.  I've said over and over again - this is the best health decision I've ever made.  I'm so happy with my RNY!

 Hello, my friend.  I'm so glad to hear you turned a corner.  I'm still struggling with the post-op diet, perhaps a touch of depression, yet excited, but I'm hanging in there.  It's so good to hear you're going to the park.  You're an inspiration.

Topic: Take Care of your tool.
  Weight Loss Surgery Support:
Daily Inspiration for April 22, 2010
Katie Jay, MSW

Take care of your "tool." 

A carpenter uses a router to carve beautiful designs and to make notches to piece furniture together. Yet if he does not know how to use this tool, he only destroys the wood he is carving.  

The same holds true with your stomach pouch. If you care for it by following your surgeon's guidelines, your tool will perform well for you. For example, gastric bypass patients who continually eat more than their pouch can comfortably hold may stretch the stoma or opening from the stomach to the intestines. Lapband patients may avoid getting a needed fill or may eat too many soft, rich foods, thus making their tool ineffective. 

Action for the day: Review your surgeon's instructions. Are you using your pouch well?

Topic: Yvonne!
I finally uploaded some new pics to my profile.  They are really recent, and I can really see the difference in my face in the most recent ones.  You can lift any of them - pre or post op - if you are still interested in using them in a Friday feature.  Some comparisons would be pretty dramatic - particularly the one of me holding my grandson (with the enormous double ***** alongside these new close-ups.  I also have a couple of full length ones.  The most recent one is me in the orange sweater and skinny jeans. 

Let me know what you think.  I am not one to have a bunch of photos around - tho sometimes I think I should, because it's very enlightening for me!
