Hello to all. Well, I am 2 days away from being 7 months out and  I am sad to say this past month was not a great success for me. Yes, I still exercise and eat right. I dropped a few pounds this month. I really hope I keep losing weight. Please tell me it is not over for me. My hopes and dreams are still out there. Never Give Up- by Peter Gabriel. I will update soon--I promise:))

Hello there to all. Last night the surgeon's office had a gala. The gala is fashion show for all the bariatric patients to walk down a runway and show their new body off. Well, I will be on the runway next Sept. It was a lovely event and I am posting photo's of my $18.00 dress from Dressbarn. I even tanned for this. Still wating for this scale to move. However, where would I be if I never had the RNY. I would do it all over in a NY mintue. Will keep you posted. Never Give Up-by Peter Gabriel!!! Keep exercising--it works.

I am back. Where have I been? I thought this RNY was not working.Well, I am fighting to lose lb for lb.Yes, really thought it would be easier. However, still learning some people will lose faster then others. As long as the weight comes off and I am where I want to be next year, its ok. From June 11th-Aug 27th I only lost 5lb. That is depressing. The nutrionist said I did not eat enough to burn. So now I eat 6 times per day.Family gentics and starvation seriously contributed to my obesity.  The gym is my second home and I enjoy working out. Here is living proof --DON'T GIVE UP. I promise to blog and email you all back. The weight loss is what it is and I know in my heart I did the BEST I COULD. In 6 months I lost 60lbs. This includes 5lb pre op. It was all worth it and the surgery has changed my life. Hopefully, my current clothes will start falling off.:))

My Story

I am a 36 year old girl from NY and my name is Michele. I have had a weight problem all my life. I also have diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. I thought about RNY for 6 years now. One day Nov. of 2007. I did excessive walking and my legs hurt for 1 whole week after that(legs hurt from the weight). Well, a calmness had come over me and I was no longer afraid because I was ready. I am ready to be healthy and happy. I will keep you posted on this new journey of my life.
