RNY...5 years out

Oct 12, 2011

Should have posted sooner...Got busy with work and errands.  I've posted 3 new pictures on my profile.  A lot of people want to see the process (or decay) of what the years look like.  Trying to keep it real for you new post ops.
I can eat anything without dumping...That can be a problem since it opens up the bad carbs (simple carbs) to my eating habits.  Things like soft serve ice cream and fried food never sit well with my pouch...So I limit those type of things.  I really eat good throughout the day...But I cheat also.  Things like chocolate and chips are my downfall...But I will combine them with a salad or stew or yogurt so it sort of balances it out.  
I try and ride my bike as much as I can (see profile).  If the weather is bad or too smoggy I won't do it.  I've had 2 heart attacks over the years (1 pre op and 1 post op)...So I avoid hot smoggy days to help my heart.  I run many of my errands on my bike.  This is another way to repent for my bad eating behavior (just me).  I'm also a security guard so I have to walk between 2-5 miles per shift.  It works well for my lifestyle...being forced to walk daily!!
I now weigh 217-218...Yes, I would like to be under 200...But compared to 290-300...I'll take that any day.  I work on losing...I got down to 210 a few months ago...Then things got busy (life interrupted) and I stopped working on the diet.  
Well that's it...I'm waiting for my daughters to marry...I WANT GRANDCHILDREN!!!  Life is good.  I feel blessed by God.  Later, Brian
