Happy Anniversary

Apr 16, 2014

sooooooooo here i am two days from my ELEVEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY of RNY. boy oh boy has ALOT changed. YEP my pouch still works! weight loss surgery is one of those things that works if you work it. BUT it is only a TOOL and this is the thing that we ALL need to be care of, it's a tool, just like a blender for smoothies or a mat for yoga, having a smaller stomach is something that one uses in their arsenal against the battle of the bulge. when i began this journey i was 270 and today i weigh 187. no i'm not ecstatic with this number but man am i pretty darn pleased with a lot more things about myself today than i was in 2003. man if i'd known THEN what i know now. i could have changed the GAME on this entire weight loss scenario. i NEVER EVER WOULD HAVE PUT ANOTHER JUNKY CARBOHYDRATE IN MY MOUTH. i stopped eating wheat in 2012, January 31, and i've never looked back. i am attempting albeit hesitantly towards no 1) potatoes and 2) corn. Lastly I will only eat Coconut sugar, ever. i make every attempt to try and live my life PRIMALLY for i KNOW this is the way that in addition to what i did 2003 will ensure a life time of health and wellness. man reading over these early entries has been like a breath of fresh air for me, i read that dr. madura told me that every now and again, i should get back to the basics and put myself on a liquid diet, wow hadn't thought about going liquids since reading pouch rules for dummies that ADVOCATES no high calorie liquids additionally i'd grown to be AGAINST liquid diets because i want to teach my body to eat and appreciate REAL FOOD as my primary fuel source. i think liquids might be an essential get back to the basics tool helping me to emphasize water and really get it in, i will also order some bone broth, to assist in this journey! i'm excited...
