Wow!!! Today is my one year surgiversary!!! I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am with my decision to have RNY!!! I have gone from my high weight of 216.8 down to 108.8 today. This is a loss of 108lbs!!!! I NEVER imagined that I would loose this much or ever be this small again - am I perfect? absolutly not but I am so much happier and healthier than I have been in YEARS!!!! I exercise every day, get in all my protein, water, and vitamins, and I can run around with my kids and play without being exhausted!!! I eat healthy and I finally feel healthy!!! I just signed up for my first race/obstacle course and I will be training for the next several months!!!

Do I have saggy skin??? yeah of course I do but it's not that bad and I feel better than I have in forever so I don't mind.

I don't get to post much on here but I am on here reading everyones journey quite often!!!

To all those that had surgery around my time - Happy One Year!!!

Highest Weight: 216.8 Starting Weight:209.4

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
