6 months post op

Aug 11, 2010

 Monday, Aug 9 was my 6 month since having RNY. The weekend was very eventful. First it was my daughter 16th birthday and my husband had family come in from OH, FL, and KY who we have not seen since last June at our nephew graduation from high school. The family has been following me on face-book but could not believe their eyes when they saw me on Friday. Everybody said I looked great and my 19 year old nephew told me to keep up the great work and I looked good when he hugged me good-bye on Sunday.

I was not embarrass for my daughter at her birthday party with all her friends. Even some of her friends told her that I looked good. I ate my first little piece of cake at the party (no dumping but my stomach upset a little). It tasted OK. I loved choc birthday cake in the past.

This past 6 months have been great. I have the support of all family members near and far, plus support from friends and co-workers. Having the surgery was the best medical decision I ever made). My life can only get better as I continue to work towards my weight lose goal.

Not only has my health improved but my emotional health has improved too. I have been married 18 years this past Feb and I feel like I am on a second romance with my husband.

Can not wait to see what the next 6 months bring me.
