I'm Happy, Healthy and I Think I'm Done :)

Wow, what an amazing trip it has been. I've lost 125 pounds since starting the process of having RNY Gastric Bypass. I feel amazing!!!! I wear a size 8-10-12 depending on the cut and style, which isn't something that I can say I have been able to do in a decade or more!! Speaking of decades, my 10 year college reunion is coming up at the end of the month and I am looking forward to going!! In the past I would have avoided it like the plague, but I know have confidence and am comfortable in my own skin (even with the excess hanging around ;P).

I do have to say once I got to 158 pounds I've really slacked this week on eating well. I've without a doubt carb loaded to beat the band and when I just weighed myself clothed at 5:30 at night I weighed 165 pounds, EEEK!!! I better get my butt back in gear and sort it out. Moral of the story is that eating like crap makes you gain weight with or without the surgery.

I did go meet with the nutritionist prior to falling off the band wagon this week. This is what she and I settled on (and that I should stick with when I remove my head from my butt). 1000-1200 calories per day. 200-300 per meal and ~200 per snack. So to be fair to myself and get back on track this is what I am going to follow per my appointment.
