IT'S BEEN AWHILE......
Hi Everyone! It's been a long time, but I have finally reached my goal. Actually, a little less then my goal. I have been feeling SO much better. I went from a 3X to an 8-10 and can hardly believe it. At 61, I am thinner than my daughters.
Starting at 235#
Yesterday at #149
I have had my ups and downs and after the hospital-acquired infection that damn near killed me last year, I still would have gone for it - just not at that facility. The first time I was there for the band, I got the gift of c.diff and the second time for the RNY I got a delayed case of bacterial pneumonia, leading to sepsis.
I am healthy now and try to eat as I should but am not always compliant. My best helper is that I have two good friends on FB that both had RNY. One generally follows the plan and it about the same size as I am. The other did not and she wears a 5X. Seeing their pics everyday is a good reminder how easy it would be to be back where I never want to go again.
For those of you that are just starting out, it all gets better. Most of us have a few bumps in the road (I have a couple of hernias) but eventually, everything works out alright.
Take care, everyone!
