One year update on me!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you go forward with this
new journey! I had an open RNY 8/15/01 and have lost 92 lbs…approx
8 to 10 lbs more to go and WOW, how my life has changed - and its’
all been POSITIVE! My surgeon has been extremely pleased with my
progress, and while I am not perfect, I have tried to do the right
thing…just really have to watch my sugar intake…and every now and
then, what I ate last week may not agree with me this week, but I
seem to find that out right away! Everything in moderation! You
will read posts about staying on a soft diet, solid foods, pre-
surgery cleansing tonics and the like and your best bet is to LISTEN
LISTEN LISTEN to what your surgeon tells you. I too had to take the
Citrate and planned on staying home that afternoon - which was a good
idea!
It has been an interesting year to say the least and I for one feel
very fortunate that I made this change in my life. I can’t say often
enough how important it is to think positive and stay positive. Yes,
there will be a few rough spots, you will be uncomfortable, but it
all passes and the end result is a BRAND NEW YOU!!! A BRAND NEW
HEALTHY YOU!
Good luck and God bless!
