Hi John!!  Nice to "meet" you!   Congrats on the 55 lbs and great to hear that you are doing so well.

I had my RNY on April 19th of this year.   I cannot believe that in 5 short months I am down 90 lbs! It's amazing to me and I am so thankful that I was able to have this life-saving surgery.

Thanks, Molly!!!!

Yes BIG adjustment for sure.  I don't know when I'll feel at home.  I LOVE the seasons, too, and I will miss the snow ( a bit anyhow) - but they tell me there is a FALL down here - so I'm lookin forward to that as it is my favorite season!

Hello Everyone!

My name is John and I joined the group a few days ago.  I wanted to take the time to introduce myself and if you want to go to my profile page you can see more details.  I had my RNY surgery on August 16th (revision) and have been doing well.  I have dropped about 55 lbs since I started the liquid diet 2 weeks before my surgery.  I am happy to be a part of this group and am looking forward to the dialog with you all.

Blessings,

JB

I know I'm pretty darned excited.  I think I need to get one here more often and draw on you guys for support.  My path was easier to walk when I was touching base with my OH friends. 

Sometimes I'm smarter than I know.............

Let God's presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom 
to sing, dance, praise, and love.  It is there for each and every one of us.

This afternoon, I'm headed in for a 2nd ultrasound, and they'll also do a blood draw and check my levels.  I'll keep you posted whatever the result.  I'm feeling pretty good, but I must confess, that the stress is a real trigger for me.  Tough going.  I am pretty tempted to eat.  And last night, I dumped, big time.  I don't suppose that having my heart pump furiously like that is a good thing when you've got a clot.  (Duh, Kathy....)  But every day's a new one, right? 

Thanks so much for your love and prayers.  Big hugs for you, Yvonne!
