WHAT?! I'm 2 years out from RNY WLS...

Feb 14, 2012

WOW...I am two years out from having RNY WLS...where the hell has the time gone?!

I am busy all the time...I work out about 4 times a week...either running or working out with Tony on P90X......Sprinkled with BL Yoga with Bob....

I am still doing all the same things I did right after surgery...drinking my protein shakes and making sure that I am drinking plenty of water and for a treat Peach-Mango from either Crystal Light or the Great Value Brand...hmmmmm!!! 

At my highest weight I was 280 now I stay around 154-156  if TOM is visiting then that may go up about 4 pounds...yea!!!! Gotta love that water gain!  I am not at goal...really I don't care...I am at a great weight for me... I try not focus on the scale but the fit of clothes.  I am currently wearing a solid 8 and smaller cut 10's...My tops are mainly mediums and my measurements are 39 (around the nipple) 34 around the band - 26 and 39.   So I am very much the hourglass.  I LOVE shopping for heels which I could not wear more than 15 min before with out legs cramping and feet hurting and love me some dresses and cute tops...who would have thought!!!!!

Now I am in a weird place that I never thought would happen....I look at food as survival and not for comfort...Actually I found that even the small portion that I still do eat that I tend to not care if I eat or not.  Which also places me into the hypoglycemic category....Yep not very long ago my sugar hit rock bottom and I passed out in the floor.  Thankfully I had someone there that caught me and sat me down against the cabinets in the floor.  Had they not been there I would have gashed my head open.  So after I came to I asked for a glass of milk...which BTW helps stabilize your sugar level if you do not have peanut butter or something with electrolytes in it.  It freaked them out as they have never had anyone pass out on him before.  So to help prevent this from happening again I have increased my food intake and I am eating 6 small meals a day now...That seems to have helped A LOT!!! 

All in all though...I LOVE my RNY!!!!    I feel great...minus the passing out LOL!!!   I feel ALIVE and I want to do it ALL.....My new motto  "Bring it on"    I feel like there is nothing that I can't do....I feel like I have missed out on so much of life being so damn fat that I could not have fun or enjoy things.  That era is over and will never be repeated...I will not go back to where I was....I will kick, scream and pitch a fit to keep from going back...which is why I am OCD about weighing myself daily to keep in check.  Losing my weight was easy...the BITCH is maintenance.
