I have been overweight since having my children, over 25 years ago. It was about time I did something to reverse the upward trend. I was diagnosed with diabetes about 5 years ago. I have two grandchildren, and want to be around for them as long as I can.
I had my WLS on August 28th, 2006. I have lost 28.5 lb. over the past six weeks since then. I have not been sad about what I can and cannot eat. I think mentally I delt with that prior to my surgery. I am feeling better, joint wise, since loosing.
Oct. 30, 2006 - (Nine weeks post-op) I have now lost 40 lb!!! I am thrilled with this. It has been an interesting journey, and I am still learning what I can eat and what I cannot. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to how I will feel after eating. I do think the adjustment will be a life-long process. I am very happy I decided to do the RNY procedure.
