2 Year Anniversay
May 11, 2008
This past Friday was my 2 year anniversary of my RNY. I am much happier now than I was back on that day. I was having second thoughts as close as them wheeling me into the surgical suite, but now I don't regret that day. The first 2 months were tough for me, it was mostly mental. I remember crying Memorial Day weekend because I couldn't have a cheeseburger, now I don't really even like cheeseburgers. I kicked a diet pepsi addiction that I never thought I would be able to do (even my friends/co-workers had their doubts on that). I really don't care for fast food anymore, either and the nice part is that my kids don't care for it either! So maybe I'm helping them too. I had a tummy tuck in September of 2007 and a breast lift in February of 2008, and that has contributed to my overall apprecitaton of my weight loss. I really feel good about how I look in clothes now and even a bathing suit! I have a flatter tummy now then I did when I was younger! And that feels great!
My challenge now is to lose a few more pounds and maintain that. That will be a tough road for me but I do not want to be where I was 2 years ago...EVER. I have to keep reminding myself of that.
