Marci67
I had RNY August 23 2013. At that time I weighed 267. Prior to surgery I weighed 320. I started this journey because I was sick all the time and was scared of the consequences of being obese. I put a lot of effort and time into taking care of myself. I dropped down to 199 for a short time. Unfortunately I tested my pouch and discovered I could eat almost anything and not get sick. Of course I cant eat large portions but I eat till my stomach hurts. I am currently at 266 and have been diagnosed with PAD. I am scared to death. So I am trying to start my journey over again and really get serious about not just the weight loss but getting healthy. I dont want to die. I am here for help and support. I have started walking every day. Very short walks because I have lower back and knee issues, but I'm moving. I also have started using more heart healthy ingredients when I cook and am watching portion sizes. Any support and information is so greatly appreciated. I hope to stay committed to my goal of a healthy lifestyle.
