I never in my wildest dreams thought it would happen to me.  I thought I would be the one person who could not lose, even with RNY.  My doctor assured me that my fears were irrational, but I did not really in my heart believe him.  After all, this struggle has been my whole life.  I have yo-yo'd for my whole life.   I have lost hundreds of pounds, only to gain it back plus some.  I have hypo-thyroidism, I have a sluggish metabolism, my body is used to the periods of deprivation and holds tightly to every ounce of fat. 

I began this journey at 5'9", 314 pounds.  I lost 28 pounds before the surgery, mainly due to the 2 week liquid only diet...  I had my surgery in December.  This morning, the scale told me that I have made it to 199!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I am astounded!  I am grateful.  I am shocked, and thrilled, and speechless.  I cannot believe that I have achieved this much weight loss in 6 months. 

I am so very grateful for all of the support that is available here and in my support group and from my doctor.  I have 29 to lose to get to my goal, and now I actually believe that I will do it!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
