Word of caution

My mom is 30 years post gastric bypass (at that time known as stomach stapling). She called this morning and last night, for the first time since she had her surgery,she got stuck on a food and had the whole chest pain, nausea, misery...30 years later! She was shredding carrots for slaw and ate a hunk of carrot and thinks she just didn't chew as much as usual (all is well today, scared the crud out of her though!!)

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 234.8

No, but she's an exercise fiend. She's 62, dad is 65, they're both retired and 4-5 days a week they go to the gym for about an hour and a half. She eats on a small plate, gets full easily...she's done it all correctly. She's not tiny (a size 12-14) but she's also not built tiny, we got good German genes!

She is a kidney failure patient and on the transplant list, she had kidney issues prior to gaining weight. The told her when she was pregnant with me (I'm 39) that she wouldn't live to 40.....so yeah, she's pretty fabulous!!!!

Gotta love that good German stock. My mom always jokes that we have "square peasant hands"... even thin, I still had to buy my gloves in the men's section. Honestly!

Your mom sounds like an inspiration, though. I hope she gets the kidney soon!
