My WOW!!!!
I am now 11 months, 2 days from first surgical consult......7months, 1 week and 1 day post surgery...........AND..................(drumroll please, haha) I AM AT GOAL!!!!!!!!!! I weighed 125 this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!!! 
(That's 134 pounds gone since the time of my consult!!!!!!!!!)
I have gone from size 24/26 pants down to size 8, sometimes size 6, depending on the sizing! I have moved from size xxl or 26/28 tops to size med or 12/14! I have more energy than I have had in years! I can actually KEEP up with the kids and DH! I jogged/walked a 5k on the treadmill in 38 minutes a few days ago! (NEVER thought I'd EVER be able to jog, let alone a 5k!!!!!)
This journey has been AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! Yup.......I've had a few issues and I'm still dealing with one issue, but, when asked.......there is NO WAY I'd ever go back and NOT have this RNY done!!!!!! It has TOTALLY changed my life..........for the better!!!!!!!
I HAVE to thank............MY HEAVENLY FATHER for getting me through all this safely! My surgeon and his staff for taking such great care of me and addressing my "issues"! My family for supporting me through all of this (they know it's for the rest of my life, but they've been amazing so far!!!!!!!!!) AND..........to ALL MY OH friends..........your support, words of encouragement, laughs, hugs, tears..........I can't tell you ALL how much I appreciate EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!!!!!!! Thank you ALL!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs!
