For anyone that is looking into having RNY surgery...look at what it has done for me...

In April of this year I weighed in at 309lbs. I was devistated. I was wearing 24/26 clothes that were tight! Well in just 7 short months this is where I am now 188lbs and wearing a size 12. I have about 23 more pounds to go until I get to my goal of 165 (I am 5'9 so that is a BMI 25) and for Thanksgiving this year...I am jogging/walking in my FIRST 5k. I am so excited I can't hardly wait. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY RNY. It has changed my life FOREVER and I am so happy with the results that I have had. Here is some before and now photos.

U look wonderful. May I ask bc we were close in size. Do u have loose skin and where? And did u workout?

Good job! You're an inspiration for many.

Looking good girl...

I'm 5'9" too and just under 300. Maybe that'll be me next year! What's the hardest part for you?

Wow! Great job! You look incredible!

Tomorrow my journey continues since I have to lose ten percent of my weight and the doc put me on a strict diet of protein shakes for bfast lunch and protein meat and leafy veggies for dinner. No snacking will be the hardest part. I know I can do this not only for me but for my daughter. I want to be here when she graduates high school and college.

"YOU CAN DO THIS!" The protein diet is TEMPORARY! A short time considering the rest of yours & your daughters life after graduation.

Just remember "Nothing is leaving the planet". You may not be eating certain foods now, but they will be there later. No food is leaving the planet!

YOU-GO-GIRL!
