Feb 2012 vs. Feb 2013
Seeing this picture from last year started the whole process of getting RNY. I didn't want my kids to grow up with memories of an unhealthy mom.
Had surgery 10/17/12 and I'm down 59lbs. Slow and steady wins the race, right? I'm gonna give myself one whole year to get to my goal weight loss of 125lbs lost. 66lbs to go.
So happy with my result so far. Went from size 20/22 to 14/16!

HW 220

DOS 10/3/12
I made it to the 150's and it is my bday. I am so happy.

So, DOS was 10/17 and I'm down 17lbs. Decided to cut 11" off my hair, go a little darker, and start my new life with a new look!
My clothes fit a little bit looser and I didn't see much of a change until this...
Yay me!!!

The best to me is premier Protein ready made 30 grams of Protein they have no after taste

8 weeks out and officially down 40 lbs!
DOS @248lbs
12/14/12 @208lbs!

I used the gel this morning. Luckily I have about 3 bottles of it and several wraps from when I used to sell it

Well, went in for my 6 week post op appt today. Im officially down 37.2 lbs! Down from a size 20 to a 16! My eating issues are a little better today as I've gone back to liquids and Soup. Anyone else 6 weeks out? How's your progress?

I'm 6 weeks out tomorrow and for the past couple of days, everything I eat hurts. I was doing great and have lost 35lbs so far. Now, a bite of anything and I'm uncomfortable. What gives!?! Have a check up with doc on Thursday, maybe I need to go back to full liquids and start over. Heading out to get big box of SF pops!!

Amazing! I hope to look this good at five months! Congrats!

Forgotten to do this for awhile so here is this week.
Date of surgery 6/7/12
Pre surgery weight. 261.4
Last week weight. 179
Today's weight 174
Loss of 5 pounds this week and 87 total lost- 29 to go to get my goal of 145.

I have avoided this forum for so long. I had RNY in June 2008 and have gained back weight. I started out at 328 lbs. and lost down to 175 lbs. I was doing well and had continued to lose. In December of 2010, my oldest son passed away suddenly as a result of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (Cirrhosis) due to meds he had been on since a brain tumor in 2001. That completely threw me off track and it has taken a year and a half to get myself together. I had gained back up to 246 by not following the food plan recommended by my surgeon. When Brandon died, I really had no appetite but people kept saying "you have to eat, you'll get sick". I take full responsibility that I took those words to heart and dug right in. Empty calories, slider foods, way too many carbs and no exercise had taken it's toll.
I felt like a failure! I was given this opportunity and wonderful gift and screwed it up - again! I didn't feel very victorious. Well I'm happy to report that I AM a success story. I am back on my plan just like post-op and have lost 22 lbs. towards my 70+ pound goal. My pouch is intact and I am able to do this!
Tomorrow is my 51st birthday. When I look at myself over the past 25 years, I spent the majority morbidly obese, feeling tired, fat and hopeless. I no longer feel that way and that makes this all a success. I am not bad, I am determined. I took a few hard knocks and got back on that horse that I climbed off of. I started a forum in here called Back on Track and I believe that if all of us "success" stories who have been derailed, stick together we can become super success stories.
Thank you all for your brutal honesty and commitment to your health. It is an inspiration and I have such hope when reading your entries....even the sad entries. If I can do this you can too! Smooches to everyone and God bless you!

Today I went to court to finalize my divorce, hallelujah !!!!! And I saw my ex-husband after about four months for the first time and he said. "You lost a lot of weight, are u starving yourself?" Lmao idiot.

Rurias-
The Protein is a ready to drink shake. If you use powder, just make accordingly and then add the other ingredients. :-)

Sharon- you're tired and worn out because your body has no fuel. Get Protein in and get your fluids in. So important! I'll be 3 weeks out on Wednesday and its been a struggle, but definitely more energized when I get my Protein, Vitamins and fluids in.
