So far so good. I am down 50 pounds after 2 months. Just feeling a little tired still but i am trying to get out and excersize more. Eggs is one thing that has definitly not worked for me. But otherwise my life is potatoes right now!

Mine has been a great experience with laproscopic RNY gastric bypass surgery. I went into the operating room around 3:00 p.m. and by 10:30 p.m. I was up walking. People used to say, "If you lose weight you'll have so much more energy." Although I knew the 'meaning' of 'energy', I never knew the 'concept' because I had no idea just what a tremendous difference there would be in my life -- I now know what having ENERGY means and I just keep getting younger every day.
