I am finally posting an update!

Sep 26, 2010

 I am over 6 months post op now and am doing good.  I am still feeling great about my decision to have RNY which, I have said that since the first days after surgery.  I have lost 102lbs and would like to lose about 30 more.........although, if I didnt lose another pound I would still be happy with my current weight.  WHOA........I haven't been able to say that for at least 20 years. Today, was my wedding anniversary and I realized that I weigh less than the day I got married 18 years ago---it made me feel good.  

The last couple of weeks.......I have really noticed how different I am looking.  I see myself in a mirror or my reflection in a window and see a change happening.   The real me, the me, that has been hiding inside for so many years...is finally showing through.

I do have bad stomach days, some days I am not able to eat much, or I feel sick after eating but its getting better.  Time does seem to be improving how my stomach feels.  We went to dinner tonight and I ate a couple bites and starting feeling sick so I stopped.........and you know, I didn't even miss not being able to eat my meal.  Now that is real progress!

I am so happy I had this surgery, it has changed not only my life but my outlook on my life.
