Is anyone else scheduled to have RNY in early May 2018? My new surgery date is May 3rd. I was originally scheduled for April 10, but a week before surgery, the anesthesiologist required me to switch to a larger hospital due to my history of Congestive Heart Failure. Now, I've got 14 days to go and can't wait!

I know you will. Use your hungry to stay motivated, remind yourself how far you've come and you're not going to stop when you are so close to the finish.Put your climbing gear,on, you ll,make it over the mountain and think,of the pretty valley you get,to,live in soon.

So it is officially one month since I've had surgery. Here's my comparison stats:

weight: 304 to 277

bust: 53.5 to 50.5

waist: 57.5 to 53.75

Hips: 65.5 to 60.5

Thigh: 30.25 to 28.5

Right Arm (batwing): 21.5 to 19

So, I've lost 27 pounds and 16 inches

My surgical incision sites got infected, but I finished up the antibiotic two days ago and saw my surgeon Friday and he said they looked like they were healing nicely.

I've been walking almost every day for at least 30 minutes at a time and have noticed that my speed and endurance have improved. I even spent six hours outside in 90 degree temps yesterday (at a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game) and survived (in the past there is no way I could have tolerated that much heat and standing). I'm really excited for all the new experiences I'll be able to have as my weight decreases and my health improves.
