Happy 8 years to me!
Aug 03, 2012
Today is 8 years since I've had my RNY. I went under the knife on August 3rd, 2004, weighing 303 lbs (down from my highest weight of 334 lbs). I have been as low as 118 lbs since then, and I maintained my weight for several years between 130-140 lbs. I have had 2 children since my RNY that are my biggest blessing in the world and I have a wonderful husband who supports me in everything I do. I have a great career, as well, that I am thankful for.I have experienced a regain of 60 lbs since my surgery. I have now lost over 45 lbs of that. Bad eating habits, medications that don't keep weight at bay when you aren't careful what you eat, stress eating, and just plain laziness. I regained weight that I swore I never would. It was XXX lbs "gone forever" when I had my RNY and, unfortunately, they didn't stay that way. I have worked my tail off with calorie/macro counting and exercising (thank you, MyFitnessPal) and I have been successful in losing again. I am below surgeon's goal for me and look fit and healthy.
What is next in my "journey"? Well, I'd like to lose the last few lbs and maintain. Then, I'd like to go ahead with the last of my plastics next year. I look forward to what the future brings.
