11 Months, down 140 pounds
Another great month. No problems whatsoever. I've been swimming a mile to a mile and a half 6 days/week. That feels great and exhausting. It takes me an 50 minutes to an hour and twenty minutes. I can feel my shoulders getting stronger.
I no longer hate looking at myself in the mirror. A year ago, the only time I didn't mind seeing an image of myself was at dawn or dusk when my shadow was elongated to impossibly thin proportions. I no longer cringe at my shadow beside other people's.
I also walk about 20,000 steps day, all monitored by my fitbit.
I love to wear dresses - size large or size 12.
I fit in the world better. I'm not embarrassed to be seen or out.
I flew last month, with no need to apologize to the person next to me.
One strange aspect is I moved back to where I used to live and nobody recognizes me.
It's a bit embarrassing and strange.
I could eat anything, but I don't. I haven't had a soda or fast food. I avoid overly processed food.
I don't allow any "bad" food in my house. I don't want to slip back into old bad habits. I love my protein
shakes, drink several a day.
I'm happy. Have lots of summer adventures planned.
How is everyone else doing?

Congrats on your impressive weight loss!! 
I'm only about a month out and so far I LOVE having the RNY! I had lap band in 2008 and never had such success like I have now! And no "tight" feeling or anything. I can drink without pain and eat without pain!! It is soo weird to me the difference in surgeries! I am now working on the "mental aspect" of WLS! Because this is a change I want to make for the rest of my life!!
Continued Luck, but you are doing GREAT!
