Today I am 6 wks postop RNY.. am down 36 pounds since the day I started optifast preop, and SEVERAL inches.. my usual clothes are baggy. I have had to dig deep in my closet to find clothes that were previously too tight to wear.. now they fit loosely.

Today  I took advantage of the mild sunny weather and walked 2 and 1/2 MILES without even feeling short of breath.. a bit pink in the face but no problems.. felt GOOD!
Not that long ago, I could not walk 2 blocks without feeling aches and pains and being short of breath.. Today I finished my walk feeling energized!

Diet is going well, but I miss raw veggies, would kill for a salad as its been 8 wks since I had a salad! But I will be patient and follow the rules. I am so thankful for my second chance at life, this WLS really has given me a new lease on life. I wish I had the courage to do this YEARS AGO.. but better late than never!

LIFE IS GOOD!

Hi Suzy! Thanks for sharing your joy with us - I can't tell you how excited it makes me when I read things like that from all of you! You must be so happy at how well everything is going.  It must be great to fit in clothes that used to be tight and I can imagine how terrific it must feel to be able to walk about again without being winded. Boy, do I want that! Thanks for the inspiration & I hope it keeps on getting better for you!
