UPDATE

Apr 01, 2010

So I haven't updated in awhile, even though I'm on here daily lurking around. Surgery went well, I came home on oxygen for about 5 days. This was such a pain in my a** along with the drain. As soon as the drain was removed all of my discomforts disappeared.

I'm down as of today 57lbs from my highest weight of 306. IM SO HAPPY!! I can tell the difference as well as everyone around me. I think you can tell the most in my face. I have so much energy, and many of the pains I had when I weighed 306 have left. I sleep better than ever also. Ive never lost this amount of weight in my life. Back in my mind I'm scared it will all start to creep back on like all the other times I've lost weight.

I don't dump. Thank goodness! I try very hard to follow my doctors food guidelines. I'm getting a little bored with eating just protein all the time. I do miss carbs. I've been searching on the Internet for meal ideas to  put together a cook book. I'm willing to try anything to spice up my menu choices. I cook more now than I've ever done.lol

I had my six week follow up with the Nurse Practitioner. She was very pleased with my progression. She said that on average most people loss 18-25lbs at about 6 weeks out, and I had lost 41lbs. I was so happy to hear this from her.

I LOVE MY RNY. I WOULD DO IT OVER AGAIN.
