It's hard to believe I'm 3 months post-op already. My check-up went well. I'm down 68 lbs since surgery ( I got down 40 prior to surgery) and I feel great. I have been going to the monthly support group and have found it helpful. Lots of good information is shared. I'm one of the lucky ones - I have had no problems eating any kinds of foods. Three weeks after surgery, I was eating beef - go figure!
Some items do taste differently but I think that's a good thing because they seem to be the things I shouldn't eat anyway. An example was my boss bought pizza for everyone so I tried it. It went down no problem but it just didn't taste as good as before surgery, so I haven't had it since. Sometimes it bothers me knowing I can eat anything - I guess I thought for the first few months at least if I ate something wrong I would not feel good and that it would deter "bad" eating. Well, guess I'm on my own there! LOL
Getting to the gym as much as possible. My arthritis does keep me from doing as much cardio as I would like but I keep trying to do a little more everyday. Eventually it's gotta add up & help.
Well, that's all for now! I'm about half way to my goal but feeling great!
Well, here it is - surgery day! A little nervous but that's to be expected. The one bad thing is that I don't have to be to the hospital until Noon. It has been a long morning (and it's only 8:49). 
I'm ready to do this and get on with a healthier life! A few hours and I am on my wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Yesterday I got home from work yesterday (10/2) and found a message from my doctor's office. I tried calling them, thinking "oh no another insurance problem" but they had already left for the day. I worried a little but didn't get a chance to call them back until lunch time today (10/3).
