We Did It!!!

Mar 06, 2008

 Finally got on the leader board.....really had quite a time with that ....thank you to the staff at OH for tracking down the problem and fixing it...

well, let's see now....since i had RNY on Sept 13, 2007...

I am able to wrap my body with a regular size bath towel

I fit in a regular public toilet stall without feeling like a sardine
I can wrap my arms around my shoulders


I can run and play with my 13 granchildren
      (number 14 due in Sept)

I can spend hours trying on clothes (and liking it)

I laugh more

I have alot more energy for walking and exercise

I am blessed to have a sister who had RNY just 4 days after i did so i have had a support group before i even had surgery.

I have attended a support group from the beginning.......it is a must for success......i learned so much from the leaders and group members....
i feel so strongly about the need for support that i went through the OH training to becoame a leader and facilitate a group with my sister....

I have 5 friends who have had RNY over the past 4 years and i have seen the struggles they have gone through alone.....not good.

i would like to encourage all of you to get connected....now...today....no matter if you are a pre op or a long time post op...all of you....get into or start a support group......maybe you don't feel you need the support...you're successful post op.....but there is someone out there who needs you to help them through this lifestyle changing experience.....

Okay...let us know some of the nice surprises you have gained as the result of losing weight.....
