Introucing myself!

Nov 28, 2010

As of this date I am just past my 6 week mark since having my surgery and having just joined the website here is alittle intro and backstory.

Obesity runs in my family. My mother's parents have been overweight all their lives. My mother had lap band many, many years ago and then had a revision to a modified RNY about 3 years ago. My younger sister had RNY in July/09. And my partner (Cam) and I both had RNY on 10-14-10.

My heaviest weight ever is 310lbs, and on my surgery date I was 303lbs.

I have my weight loss goals broken into 3 segments:

1st Goal: 17lbs (10% lost, achieved)
2nd Goal: 199lbs (61% lost)
3rdGoal: 168lbs (80% lost)
Ultimate Goal: 150lbs or lower (90% or more lost)

My post op diet per my surgeon was as follows:
Clear liquids 1st 4 days
"Full" liquids: 2 weeks
Soft to mushy food: 3 weeks

Cal's 1000, pro 75 grams, 2 multi vitamins, iron w/ vit C, calcium w/D,

Exercise- we were walking outside but it got cold, and now we're walking on a treadmill. Since just past the 6 week mark we'll be incorporating gym classes (bike, aerobics, yoga, etc), and weight lifting.

We know of a support group that meets at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield, Tx and am looking for other support groups in the fort worth/arlington area, and ofcourse we're always looking for friends.
