My 2 month post op appointment went great this past monday . So happy to be off pureed and soft foods . I've lost 81 lbs since July . My goal was 75 , so I over achieved ! I had lost 54 my first month. One day I'll get around to taking pics. My 3& 4 yr old aren't to good at taking pictures. My husband will be home on R&R next week. I'll get him to take one. Speaking of. I haven't seen my husband since last December . It'll be about 10 months apart when I see him. Oh, I hope he can tell ! I look in the mirror and see a bit of a difference, but nothing major . I'm sure taking a pic will help me see that difference. He's changed too . he's gotten into CrossFit and says he's in the shape of his life. Married to a Marine , he loves staying fit. Nice to hear him say how proud he is of me because o this. My weight has been the biggest battle of our marriage. He didn't marry a fat girl . But babies, deployments , the weight just piled on . It's melting off like butter now !

So any of you thinking about getting RNY , I'd say go for it ! I was scared, really scared for years. I'd been looking into it since 2010 . Only took me 3 yrs to take that leap of faith. And oh am I glad I did ! RESEARCH is key. Know what you're getting into, what to expect. It'll help so much with your recovery . And keep up on this website ! There are so many great tools and knowledgeable people here ( a few know it all's too, lol ) !

I'm sure your husband will notice. When we see ourselves every day we don't see the changes, but for someone who hasn't seen us for that length of time, of course he will see changes.
I'm so happy for your success. Glad your lbs are melting off - my are sticking to me - I guess a stall, but it doesn't feel good. Congrats on your continuing journey.

Congratulations!!! That is fantastic that your weight is just melting off. You have lost more in 2 months than I have in 5, you must have a great metabolism. Your husband will be so happy to see you and your great accomplishment. Keep up the great work!!!
