It's my two-month RNY surge-versary and here's what's different:
-I'm down almost 80 lbs
-I actually have an appetite
-It's easier to eat--I don't approach it with dread and it doesn't take forever to eat 3 bites
-I feel normal: sometimes even almost forget that I have had surgery and have to remind myself to slow down and take smaller bites
-I can add all foods, slowly, and have only had an issue with green peas, so far.
-My energy level is almost normal
-I made it through the busiest and most physically exhausting time at work these past through weeks, and I was fine.
 

It should not be this hard to change the information on my profile. Hence one reason why we lose people to Facebook...

I am very happy.  I am 6 weeks post op today and am down 60#.  Its been a little slow but am very grateful to be on this journey.

Update:
Surgery changed last week to the By~Pass.  Dr. & I decided this would be a better option for me.
Nurse called my insurance company & it was approved right over the phone.  I'm soOOoooo exited!!!

Just about 4 months post-op and within 7 pounds of my goal. This morning I ran my fastest 2 miles at 12:20 average pace. I run faster when my dh runs with me. I haven't decided if this is a good thing or not..lol.. I do enjoy the company 
I've come a long way in these 4 short months and it has been better than I imagined it would be. I love that I enjoy running and I am eating healthier then I ever have in my life. I feel hope for an active long life now where before I imagined myself dealing with the complications of having type 2 diabetes as I aged. Life is such a blessing and I am enjoying each new day!!

9/7 - I got my butt kicked. She did not hold back on cardio today. I crawled to the locker room. I sat on the floor for 20 minutes. I think I died at one point lol jk. It is all worth it though. I could not even lift my phone to take an after. I noticed that I am losing inches now. 
i LOVE my fitness shirts and pants. I will be getting more shirts. The place I order from always has a special sale. https://www.thefitnessteeco.com/
 
 

So here I am at one week post op and feeling great. Even the gas problems disappeared. Yesterday and today I got back into my 30 minute walk routine feels great. Tried on some clothes I wore to work end of June and they don't fit! Probably because of the 40 pounds I lost pre op. But either way best decision I've made in a long time. 

My home scale dipped below 300 as of this morning. I haven't seen the 2s in almost 7 years. I hope to never see a 3 again!!

Went swimming for the first time since surgery (and let's admit...it's been a long time in general).  Felt amazing!  Nice to do a different type of workout that didn't feel like such a work out!  Tired myself out and took a nap.  Fantastic Sunday!!  I should consider having more of these days!

Just got approved by insurance!! EEK!!!

Two days post op and so far the worst part is the severe gas - I've been doing lots of walking, every hour I'm up and gone so hoping gas will calm down.
