Today is my five month surgiversary after having RNY surgery on July 10th.   I've lost exactly 120 lbs!  My life has changed completely.   I am going to the gym every morning from 4:30 - 5:45 a.m. and sometimes at night.  I work out with a trainer once a week and now take the stairs instead of the elevator.   Only 5 months ago I would get paniky if I had to walk anywhere.  I had not gone in a gym in years. I gone from size 6X  to size 2X in clothes.    I was hungry all the time and would stop at McDonald's and Burger King on way home after a dinner with a friend.   Then eat something before bedtime!!  Now I eat my 3 oz. of meat and a few veggies or a Unjury Protein shake for my 3 meals  and I'm full for hours and hours.   Having this surgery is the absolute best thing I have ever done for myself.  Thank you Vanderbilt and my incredible surgeon Dr. Brandon Williams!!

I'm so excited!   I got on the scales this morning and I've lost exactly 100 lbs since my RNY surgery on July 10th.   My goal was to lose 100 lbs by my 4 month surgiversay and I reached that goal today.  Yay!  Having this surgery is one of the best decisions I have ever made.  In the past, as I approached losing 100 lbs. I have always sabatoged myself by starting to eat, always for "good reason" - depression,  rejection, work going badly etc.  But now,  because of this gift I have given myself, I can't overeat.   I can only continue on!   This is amazing.  I KNOW I will get this next 100 pounds off quickly, easily and healthfully. I love going to the gym.  I love working out with my trainer.  I love being able to walk and stand without feeling like I was going to pass out.  So many NSW's!     I am so grateful to Vanderbilt and my surgeon Brandon Williams and everyone who is assisting me on this journey!   If you are on the fence about whether to have the proceedure.   DO IT!    It is Sooooo worth it.   Harris
