3 year surgiversary
Aug 29, 2009
August 28, 2006, I had my RNY WLS. I lost a total 184 lbs and for the most part I have kept it off. I have gained 20 lbs back by Dr.'s orders.
I am 6' tall and at 147 lbs I didn't look very healthy I had a BMI of 19 at the time. Today my BMI is 22 my Dr. said I was perfect at my last check up. I have not been for my three year check up yet. My appointment is on Oct. 15, while out of school on fall break.
I love my new life, I am happy, healthy, and well. I do things now that three years ago I could only dream about doing.
My hubby Robert had WLS Dec. 19, 06 and he too is doing great. We enjoy things now, we are able to do more, have more fun and actually we go to the movies on occasion. For many years we wouldn't go because we couldn't sit in the seats comfortably now we sit comfortably and I can actually sit in his lap for the first time in the 15 years we have been married, (No I don't sit in his lap at the movies)
We went on a date last night to celebrate my three year surgiversary. We went to Logan's Roadhouse and had dinner. I had a 6 oz sirloin, baked potato and steamed broccoli and he had grilled chicken, salad and steamed broccoli. We both brought a little over half of meal home with us and had it for lunch today. We laugh about how little we eat now.
Maintenance is sort of hard to keep a handle on but we both try really hard. We always get a chuckle out of the servers when we tell them we don't want anything to drink with our meal. They are always so shocked. When they ask if we saved room for desert we laugh and tell them if we had room for dessert we wouldn't be asking for a doggie box and then we tell them our amazing story. We have always received pats on the back. We carry a small before picture with us and show it to people they don't believe it is us.
