Still wouldn't change a thing...
Dec 26, 2009
It has been a while since posted anything , but that's only because I've been busy living this New life God has gifted t me.I can't begin to express how different my life is now. It goes far beyond looking and feeling better physically but it also
changed the way others act and react towards me. So far positive and negative feedback post RNY has truly been a mixed bag. My son who is 16 years old can't stop complimenting me, some of my family doesn't say anything so I don't really know what they think. (really I don't care). My mom of all people think I'm full of myself now, and that's OK because I think I kind of deserve to be stuck on me for at least a little while...........LOL..My friends all say they are proud of me for going through with the surgery and doing so well and I'm grateful for all the support everyone in my life has shown. Ive also
met the man of my dreams who I plan to spend the rest of my life with .... we met on line @ Match.com of all places.
And to think, I was also so skeptical about Internet dating ... and look at me now....LOL
Well for anyone reading this who may be considering RNY, pls don't be afraid. As long as you have it made up
in your mind that you want to change your life,,,, yes your life ..( this is more than just a change in diet habits)
If you are on the fence about it , just know that as long as you have a great surgeon with a good Post op support program
and preferably operates within a center of excellence,, go for it......... I went back on forth on my decision for 10 years
and now I'm beating myself up for waiting so long to go through with it........
I have been blessed to have had no problems stemming from my surgery but I credit my surgeon and his team for that.
I do follow the rules and that is something that starts in the mind. 99% of the time I do exactly what I'm supposed to
do . I do struggle with getting in enough liquids but that is just me, I do not have a natural thirst mechanism. So I do
have to work on that daily. I have found all the vitamins and supplements that work for me , which is the key, find what works for you and not what others are doing...Everyone's journey is unique..
One last thought , please only go forward with WLS for the right reasons,,,
Do it to get healthy and stay healthy.. Do it to live a long and healthy life for yourself
and your family.. Do it to make make step in the direction to excape depression, shyness,
and self-conciseness, Do it to free yourself of unnecessary inhibitions and re-learn to enjoy
Life....... After all , that's what my RNY has done for me........
Be blessed everyone !!!
