Thankful

Just wanted to write a post about how thankful I am to have been able to have this surgery. So many things in my life have changed as a result of having RNY (for the better).  One of the girls on OH website posted a poll asking us what makes us a 'Weight loss surgery success'?  Here are my answers:

I'm a weight loss surgery success because:
-My feet hardly hurt after a long day at work

-Knees and joints feel better

-Gone from a size 26 jeans to a size 18

-Have more energy daily

-Finally taking better care of myself

-Moderation with food has become a habit for me (YAY!)

-For the most part, emotional eating has gone away

-Starting to love and appreciate myself
 
 
In a little over 3 months, I've lost 66lbs! Praise God!
I was at work yesterday and one of the OB/GYN docs I use to work for had to do a double take because she didn't recognize me at first! lol She said to me, "Amy! I hardly recognized you! You look great!"
Yeah...that was cool to hear.
 
Even though I still have 79 more pounds to lose, I AM a weight loss surgery success!
