Here’s i am 5 1/2 years later. Had my baby struggles another 4 1/2 years with my weight and just had my RNY surgery without complications at 250lb. I ate all my words from my previous posts and I did it!! I’m day 6 post op. It flew by so far. Praying for no complications and that my new life is all I’ve hoped for ???????? my kids deserve a healthy happy fun mom and here k come!! 

I could ahve guessed this would happen right now lol, i feel better, im going to the gym, ive lost 60 pounds and im becoming happier with myself and now IM PREGNANT! Im full of a million emotions and i pray to god i dont gain too much weight. I am making a vow to myself, my family and my unborn child to get this baby weight off right away so I can be as healthy as possible for us all... I believe in myself and I can do this!! Im not going to cheat toooo much ;-P but i will enjoy a little bit of chinese food and peanut butter ice cream every once in a while :)

After my approval I basically decided I will not be getting the RNY at any point in my life, if all else fails I will get the sleeve but Im thinking I can change this mindset and FINALLY loose this weight myself. I joined weight watchers (which i feel is ridiculously expensive so Ive always avoided it) and ive lost 25 punds in less than 2 months. On my own it took me 6 months to loose 20 eating the healthiest I could and not going out to eat.. I know people  have lost alot of weight and gained it back but I really think this is for me... so as of now, im positive.. ive lost 48 pounds (1 1/2 of my 3 year old son!!) and thats more than Ive ever done so wish me luck :) 

 i found out yesterday that i have been approved for RNY and Im able to have surgery this onth if i want to! but I think I have changed my mind :( i have spent over 1000$ so far on apts and classes for this and now i checken out?!?!? ive lost 30 pounds on my own and i think i might be able to do this without surgery.. we will see.

 its been 2 months since i first saw my doctor and a month since My seminar. I have seen my surgeon and nutritionist.. In 9 days ill have my pre-op labs done and the next week is my psychology apt. and medical clearance apt. I lost only 6 pounds going to the gym 3 days or more a week and doing an hour of cardio along with changing my eating habits but i got so depressed that after christmas i just stopped going. Ive decided Im going to start again today. I want to loose weight so I have the healthiest easiest recovery Possible. Im getting laproscopic rny in April as far as I know and as of last week I was nothing but excited! Now i started researching and Im terrified! Absolutely terrified, i really am nt even sure I can do it, i keep going back and forth.. Omg is it scary!! Well thats about it for my update.. Im heading to the gym soon if my son will stay at the "Y daycare" :) have a great day everyone!
