So, I find myself here again. Its been about four years since I have visited this sight. I find myself visiting because its easy to forget exactly why I had the RNY in the first place as time goes by. Now in a way I feel like I am starting over. 

I started at 6/5 350 lbs.  went down to 270 and have slowly been gaining the wait, up to 305 lbs. today. I never have really done much to try to keep it off. I have not been back to see the doctor since 6 months out. I have had no problems accept not getting the results I wanted but, thats my fault.

So, i will be trying to stop by for motivation and ideas to get back to 270lbs.  It starts today before I find myself back to where I started. I am going to have t shrink my stomach by not eating very much over the next few days. Excercise also begins. I will keep updating this sight.  

My six month date will be here on the thirteenth of this month. My weight loss has come to a complete crawl. I have mabye lost 2 to 3 pounds over the last month. My weight is between 277 to 280 lbs. I have started jogging and lifting weights within the last two weeks.  I am struggling with limiting my calories. My weakness seems to be sweet carbs. Mostly cookies. once I eat anything sweet I just want to keep eating. Anyway I will continue to keep trying to lose. I am down about 72 pounds so far.    

Well I am working on 5 months. My progress has slowed down the las month to a crawl. I have lost between 65 and 70 pounds wich I am not complaining about. I have started excercising this week. I am going to try and walk 50 miles this month. I also started lifting weight this week along with push ups.  I have ben visiting the mens board on a regular basis and even posted a few comments.  

Well its been almost three months now. Things are progressing great. I have gone from 350lbs pre op to 295lbs. There are lots of changes going on. My clothes keep getting bigger by the day. Pretty soon I will have nothing to wear. I seem to not need as much sleep. Mabye six hours where before with six hours sleep I would always be tired. I catch myself out of the corner of my eye in the mirror some times. It catches me off guard because it does not look like what  I feel like I look like. Alot of poeple make possitive comments wich is nice. 
   The big one. I am off my High Blood Pressure Meds! That was my main goal. Last doctor visit the blood pressure was at 128/88. Everything that I intended to surgery to help is happening. I have had no problems at all. I constantley lurk over the boards. This is a tremendous help to me. Some how it helps to see others going through what Im going through.   

I talked with my Doctors coordinater Denise and My insurance should have been submitted last thursday. It usually takes about a week for a decision. 
The entire processs started about five months ago. It seems to be taking for ever.
