Wow, got to buy some neat new undies!!!
My open RNY was April 29 of this year. Last Christmas I was almost 400 pounds,
and today on my scale at home I am 230.
I eat what I want, but in MUCH smaller amounts, and I eat protein first. I drink
loads of water and decaf tea with Splenda, and I drink Sobe Lean grapefruit and
cranberry juice and Diet Snapple cran-raspberry juice. I was never much on milk,
and I find that it makes my dump anyway, so if I need milk for something, I use
soy milk (8th Continent). I haven’t had trouble with anything at all and I am
VERY mobile these days…
I am still changing body-image wise. I am still losing weight, but not at the
speed that I was. I am still losing inches also. I can wear regular jeans from
Walmart and today I went to an undies sale at Lane Bryant and bought a bunch of
bikini and bra sets that I LOVE!! (Have never had undies like this before in my
life!). I had all my nieces and nephews with me and had them pointing out other
women that I am the same size as so I can see what I really look like instead of
what I see in my head still.
I am now going to throw out all my old lady panties (in size 15!!) and
celebrate!
