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!

  Blessings,   Lynn    

Band to RnY - 3/13/13
