Dec 30, 2012

Well Its been a while since i wrote anything. I wanted to say say that my journey has started and I am enjoying it. I had RNY on 06/11/2012 and I have lost a total of 48 lbs. I stayed home form work 5 weeks which honestly was to long. I am back at work for the last few weeks and I'm glad things are getting back to normal. I have met some great people on this web site who actually understands what I'm going through. I have had no complications and everyday is a trial and error.  One day this food likes you and then you go to eat it again and it hates you. Your always playing the guessing game when it comes to food. I would recommend this surgery to anyone who is wanting and who is committed to change for there life and wanting a healthier life. I am exercising eating well watching my intake and out take. the weight loss has been slow and not always steady but its the process i signed up for others are fast but thats ok Slow is good for me .  I can walk with out being out of breath I actually have energy to enjoy life. Happy holidays everyone and a happy new year. I'm looking forward to see what life has in store for 2013
