When I elected to have my gastric bypass in 2010, I was around 286 give or take. The surgery seemed like my last hope, and I was still slightly skeptical of the surgery to begin with. However, other methods of weight-loss hadn't worked for me and my health was not getting any better.   I have just recently became comfortable with telling others about my choice.  It seems that such a stigma is placed on people that decide to have weight-loss surgery.   To my surprise more people are supportive of my choice and I have been able to help others who have had the surgery or are thinking about having the surgery.

Let me wrap it up in just a few quick sentences. First, off I do NOT regret my surgery.  My surgery set me on this path of health and longevity and restored confidence in myself.  For that, I am eternally happy that I made the decision that I made.


WEIGHT LOST TO DATE - 146 LBS!!!

I have been so busy these past months.  School and working two jobs.  Not to mention my RNY status.  Let me catch you up.  I started off at 256 lbs, I  now weigh 175 lbs!  Everyone says I look so thin and it feels good.  I have gotten over the guilt of having the surgery instead of doing it the old fashion way.  I just wish that I could buy new clothes, I have ones that I have saved for years and I do mean years!  But I am currently losing about 2-3 pounds a week and we won't even talk about the inches.  So needless to say, I need a new wardrobe.  I also wish I had taken more photos of the before me so that I could really see the transformation.  At any rate, I am back on teh wagon and will post more often.

XOXO
