BirdAlert 29 Posted November 30, 2012 My doctor only has given me the "ok" to walk. Then our weather got cold & wintery.. So, to answer your question 'am I working out?' No. I try to do enough walking indoors all day, and I am looking for alternative exercises. I'm still recovering from the surgery, so it's slow going Thanks for the encouragement!!

pointer 92 Posted December 2, 2012 For anyone that is looking into having RNY surgery...look at what it has done for me... In April of this year I weighed in at 309lbs. I was devistated. I was wearing 24/26 clothes that were tight! Well in just 7 short months this is where I am now 188lbs and wearing a size 12. I have about 23 more pounds to go until I get to my goal of 165 (I am 5'9 so that is a BMI 25) and for Thanksgiving this year...I am jogging/walking in my FIRST 5k. I am so excited I can't hardly wait. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY RNY. It has changed my life FOREVER and I am so happy with the results that I have had. Here is some before and now photos.

Hi Christi question for ya did you have any problem consuming the Protein, are there days that you did not really do what ur surgeon said, or could not get the Water in. You look great, and basically did you have any set backs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

~Christi~ 54 Posted December 5, 2012 Amazing Christi.... may I ask how's your skin? Lol the skin is another issue. I have a lot of hanging skin. My breast, upper arms, thighs ans stomach are the worst. Hopefully time will be kind and get rid of the extra skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You look great, and basically did you have any set backs. [/quote'] I had trouble in the beginning getting everything in. I was pretty good by about 1 month out. Now I have trouble sticking to my routine. If I stick to my routine all goes well. When life happens I just go with it and try to get back in track as soon as I can. I am still doing the same Protein as I did when I came home from the hospital. I try not to mix things up a lot. When I do, sometimes it doesn't work and sometimes I dump...so I just stick to what works for me. 1 PhotoChic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
