I am a little over a year out now and thought I would post a positive note.  There are really a lot of us out there that everything is going great and are living life to the fullest.  I admit I rarely get on OH now that my life is much improved and i'm happy with myself and my life.  To go from feeling like I had no purpose in life and felt like a failure and hated myself to a more confident happy energetic person is an amazing turn-around in just a year.  I don't dread going out in public, I don't get upset if I have to park far away from the store's front door, I love getting out and doing activities with my kids.  I never thought I would have the energy to wrestle with my boys but now I can put up a good fight.    I literally have a pep in my step.   Every person I run into now that knew me pre-op says I look so much happier.  I am so grateful to have the opportunity to have RNY and get my life back!  Here's a pic from today.

 Thank you for this inspiration! I had my surgery last Tuesday and have been fine except when the weekend started which is always our busiest. My biggest challenges are going to be socially because we go out a lot and cooking for my family. I am pretty much keeping my surgery private with the exception of some family & a few close core friends who are fully supportive. I know I'm probably overly emotional right now as well, but hearing your success helps me. I've been trying to go along with business as usual, doing laundry and I made dinner tonight, I feel great....still get a little tired from the surgery part but I couldn't get myself to sit with my family. I feel horrible. I poured my broth and went and pouted in my bed, lol....savoring every flavor of that broth, which I was completely satisfied with, but I think I'm mourning the food piece that I've read others have. At any rate, even knowing I have a long way to go, your story is what I want to have....the pep in my step and to just be happy with myself.  Thank you for your post!
