so i went nd bought 20000 cans of it... lol j/k  just 100 cans

GBS is learning to eat all over again... very...very SLOWLY

i replied to a post & my answers really reflect my thoughts

My questions are what advice can you give me about any aspect of the surgery? 
Research your choice, know your surgeon and team as you are 'married' to them for life   

Any regrets, as far as having the surgery, Nope.  I am 4 weeks out & lost 30lbs+ so far. WLS is WORK, no doubt, but the benefits far out weigh anything else. ok..maybe a little regret... cake :)

Waiting so long, etc.? My timing was right, started in Sept07, had surgery March 08

What would you tell someone who asked, WHY THIS?  I have tried EVERYTHING over the years and continue to have health issues & gain weight. I need a TOOL that i can work with
and will give me permanent results,  and this is IF i choose to tell anyone, besides immediate family.

What do you wish you would have known before having the surgery? Nothing i can think of, i researched WLS inside & out, even watched videos of the surgery being done so i know what to expect. Asked a ton of questions to my surgeon, nurse, hospital staff and of course OH members :)  

And my MAIN question, what is your "thing" to keep you in perspective as far as losing the weight and  becoming this person that everyone hates, cuz you got a stank attitude.  WLS is a journey, not a 100 yard dash. I look at it as a personal triump when i feel lighter each day (ok each week lol) , and overall healthier. yes, there will be stalls and bumps along the read, but that is LIFE...right?  So long as i maintiain what i KNOW to be the right food, choices, excercise, protein & vitamins, i know i will be alright and HEALTHY. What other people think, is their issue, not mine.  

went to hairdresser, and when going under the dryer
the chairs was always very snug..... today.... i had
alot of room on BOTH sides of me.
its amazes me with RNY how its these little 
things we  notice.

Rihanna.....long sides, short back.   MANNN it looks HOT
