Day 6 Of The New Me

[lois1968 1]

Hi everyone. Well it's day 6 of my new life. My RNY was on 7/31/12, I spent 2 days in the hospital which went really good. My only complaint was how sore my throat felt- not internally but externally. Finally figured out after looking in the mirror and seeing one dandy of a bruise - one of the probes dropped on my throat and chest - before my Doc entered surgery. Can honestly say that was my only pain 1st 3 days.

Everyone has been very encouraging with me - " this is the beginning to the new Rhonda!" is what I'm constantly hearing. I'm also currently going thru a divorce after 24 years of marriage to my high school sweetheart. Been together for 28 yrs. Found out one year ago this month that HE and who I thought was my Best Friend were having as they called it " just a secret friendship". I decided my marriage was important enough to try and rebuild but on Dec26,2011 -I was told he was done and he moved out. Merry Christmas to me! Needless to say - I'm ready for putting myself first for the first time in 24+ years.

So - as of this morning - 11 lbs of the old me is GONE!!! I have a long way to go but at least I'm on my way-

Now if only I could get all my Water in .... My next challenge to overcome .... Stay Tuned

I love your perspective! As one friend told me day after my surgery, the longest journey starts with one step! & its stuck by me.

Try Mio or Passion tea/tazo they taste great. Lots of luck!
