Just Starting Out

[tinabree 22]

Well I am a single mom who has 2 girls 17 & 11 and I am starting out on this journey. I am currently taking a class via my insurance and if all goes right I hope to have the operation in October. I am trying to stick to 1200 calories and do a good job on the most part but then there are those days (sometimes many). From what I see exercise is extremely important and that is something I need to start doing ( I hate it) lol. I can see myself after the surgery as thinner and feeling great but then there is that evil person on my shoulder that says I will fail. Do any of you ever feel like that?

Well I am here for you all too.

Welcome Tina. I hate exercising too but when you see the pounds coming off it motivates you. My rny surgery was April 23rd. I have lost 36 pounds so far. One week I had gained 2 or 3 three pounds and I got upset. So that's what keeps me motivated. You can do it.

Welcome Tina! Just keep telling that evil person on your shoulder that she has never experienced life after RNY. You are in for the most rewarding, life-changing unbelievable journey you can imagine. Looking forward to sharing it with you!!
