My New Life

Nov 02, 2012

I started this journey honestly thinking that I would be that one person the surgery failed! I have had so many things happen both positive and negative since I had surgery that I just cannot keep track of everything anymore. I have had both positive and negative feed back about the surgery itself as well. But seeing how the surgery and lifestyle change has changed everything for the better in my life I wouldn't change or redo anything.

I started this journey weighing 425 pounds and the day I finally had surgery iw as able to get down to 350. My current weight is at 204! Holy crap thats so weird to say! I am sharing clothing with my 12 year old daughter! I am working again and loving it. My children are adjusting better than I could have ever expected. They were so used to mommy being the couch potatoe that I didnt think they could handle me always on the go and doing stuff! Now I just have to get them to want to do it with me. HE HE

Just a few weeks after my surgery my husband left after saying he couldnt handle me lossing the weight. That was a big smack in the face cause he went through the entire process of having the surgery and all the pretesting and everything invovled in order to get the insurance approval! But I walked away from the marriage with my head up and stuck to the saying that if someone cannot accept me at my worst he/she surely does not deserve me at my best and I think I am pretty much at the best I have ever been in my life! I have recently begun dating again and its definelty different! I have never been the one to take an hour to get dressed and ready but recently found myself taking an 1 1/2 hour to get ready!

I had my RNY on 3/28/12 and have not experienced any complications just a few uncomfortable moments. I have tolerated food seemingly well and am able to get my protein in everyday without actually taking or drinking those aweful Whey Protein shakes.
I have yet to see the physical benefits of the surgery. At my 1 week appointment on 4/4/12 I had lost 12 pounds.
I have been able to move and do things that I really didn't expect to be able to do already. The only problem physically is doing the basement steps to do laundry. And I hate when someone else does the laundry but I am learning to adjust.
