Hi everyone,
It has been almost 6 months (on the 17th) and I have had alot going on.
1. I have left the size 20's
2. I feel REALLY good
3. I totally loved getting rid of the bags of BIG clothing
4. I feel comfortable in my skin
5. Others can see my joys..(my husband)
6. I am 5lbs from Onederland
7. I LOVE MY RNY
I have gone from 292.2 to 205 in 6 months.

I am starting to feel the weight loss in my clothes now.. And LOVING it!!!!
I put my favourite jeans on and they look pretty sloppy WOOT!!!
I am eating normal foods and not having any issues, just my lack of discipline of not
getting all my calcium in. Only cuz the liquid is so gross!!
I am feeling totally normal, I feel comfortable about going to a restaurant, although I
have not done that yet..
My mission this week is to pack all of my summer clothes and GIVE them away because I 
won't be needing them next year.. OMG I just love that reality...
Keep Smiling everyone!!

I am soooo glad the surgery and liquid stage is all behind me...
I am one of the lucky ones, I have not had any problems, no vomiting, no pains...(well maybe a couple) not too many foods that my pouch won't tolerate..
I am so excited that the scale keeps going down, and the food I have missed "chewing" is so wonderful to eat...
I absoulely LOVE the fact that I am enjoying foods again, amd not pigging out on them...
Phew.. Is this what it is like to eat normally??? I Can do it....

Well it is all over now, and I`m feeling pretty good.
I am day three into recovery and am on full fluids now which is nice.
Although I do wish I knew more about the amount of gas they pumped into my belly and how uncomfortable that was going to be, I think I had more pain pills for that pain than the actual surgery, the gas also made my back ache in between my shoulderblades. I had a shower today and that was absoulely exhausting. (pain pill)
Tommorow I am going to the hotel for a couple of days because I live so far from the hospital. Fingers crossed all goes well. I have been tolerating all the foods so far,and it`s true you need to plan to eat for about an hour and a half, things will get cold and you will need to reheat them.  I do need my fibre but I left it at home, not good..

After almost two weeks of drinking Optifast shakes, I learned after the 3rd day I NEED fiber.
I am a regular BM kinda person, but because there is no fiber in the shakes you should add some.
I found a great one Benefiber it is water soulable and has no flavour. I just can`t understand how this
powdery stuff helps SOOO immensley.... Fiber to me means grains, vegetables, etc. not white powder.
3 more days at home... then 6am tues morning I am at hospital.
Please think positive thoughts to all going into surgery...
Thank-you

6 Days till my RNY and I feel like a kid....I just can't wait !!!!!
I am drinking the optifast, and am dealing with it quite well, only a couple of times did I feel really hungry, and want to stray but I held strong....Because I don't want to wake up and them tell me I did not have the surgery because I didn't follow the optifast plan... I would be devastated... We all know how long it takes to get to this part of the process, FOREVER!!!!!! I have thought about this for years before I made the call for the appt. Then it took 13month till I heard anything from the clinic, and now it has been 19 month, such a long wait all to be worth it in the long run... Ihope...
