I am having the hardest time losing this 26 pounds. I think The hard part is giving up foods that I've been eating for so long. I also have a problem snacking and I need to quit snacking. I am challenging myself to go 3 months straight without messing up. I mean really stick to the food schedule.

It's hard.

This Surgery will change everything in my life.

Wow lets add this to the list of reason for RNY.
The pain is like nothing I have ever felt before. I cannot walk. I hate crutches. I have no help at home. yeah...

I am very disappointed in at the thought of me gaining an additional 4 pounds. I Went on a Diet/Lifestyle change Sept of 2008 and lost 40 pounds between Sept and Jan. Only to now be 18 pounds away from that weight almost a year from my starting date. I don't know what is going on with my body. I know that the RNY will change my life and I am the type of person who can get focused and not ever look back. I mean I know that after Surgery I will never weight over 200 or wven 185 pounds ever again unless I'm pregnant. I don't know bout you but I am ready to give this all of my effort, Energy, And focus and am going to make this happen for me.

Reasons for RNY:
1. ACL Repair in Left knee and weight is not making it any better. It hurts so much at times I think that I tore it again.
2. Swelling in ankles and feet. My feet hurt after about a hour of standing.
3. Swelling in knee.
4. Mother and her side of the family all have Diabetes and are suffering from Complications that are out of their control. I don't ever want to have to deal with that and I and I am scared to death of the future if I continue down this path.
5. High Blood Pressure
6. Asthma and Allergies. The worst Combo.

I went to support group yesterday and I loved it. I am so excited. I can't wait to go to Education on Tuesday and get started on the rest of my life. My mom has decided that she is going to support me 100%. I never thought that I would see that day where that would happen. I felt so Educated at Group. I've looking into the Bypass since I was 18 years old and I know Alot but now it's time to experience it.

Hello. My name ia Janel. I live in Albany, NY and I go to Dr Singh on Sept. 1st for the Education. I am really excited but scared. I don't know what to expect. I am just starting out. I weight 267 and I'm 5'7". My BMI is I guess about 41 or something.

I am ready for Change.
