New here...and to my journey!

Aug 13, 2015

I am a new member here, I just joined a day or two ago! I am relatively new to my weight loss journey as well...I am exactly 4 weeks post-op today! I had a roux-n-y gastric bypass. At first I was a bit skeptical, I felt terrible, and everything I tried to ingest made me nauseous. But I got past that about a week ago, and I am so excited about the changes in my body already!

I have currently lost 60 pounds...30 pre-op and 30 post-op. I started walking about a week after my surgery, and am currently up to 2.25 miles a day. I also started doing some calisthenics today...jumping jacks,sit-ups, push-ups and planks. I will also be adding in swimming to the mix, and will be going swimming every evening until our neighborhood closes the pool for the fall/winter.

I am a member of a local support group at the hospital I had my procedure at, as well as a couple online also. I am obsessed with this process, but in a good way! I spent the last 10 years killing myself, and I desperately want to live. I am a mom to 3 lovely girls, 13, 11 and 9. I am married to an amazing and supportive man. He is extremely overweight himself, and I am hoping that my journey will inspire him to lose weight as well! I am a stay at home mom currently. I love to cook, clean(I know strange eh?!)read, walk, exercise, spend time with friends and family, and I adore window shopping. I hope we can be friends, and I wish you all luck of your weight loss journey, if you ever need an ear, I am here!
