I had the rouxen-Y gastric bypass 6 months ago, and I would do it over in a minute.  That was the best decision I have ever made.  I was 25 years old, wighing 267 when I decided to go ahead and do it.  I waivered back and forth for approx. 1 year before I finally decided.  The months before my surgery, and i know this isn't what I hould have done but, I ate everything and anything that I wanted.  Knowing that I would not be able to ever again.  I weighed 300 lbs. going into my surgery.  Six onths later, I have lost 125 lbs, I am around 175# now.  It has begun to slow down now, and I realized it would.  My goal is 150, and I know I can get there.  I have found that you have to have plenty of support, and follow the rules.  I have only ate a few things that have given me a belly-ache, pinapple, too much natural sugar, oops, and meatloaf, a little too greasy.  anyways, I have not broken the rules as far as I know, no caffeine, no carbonation, under 10 grams of fat, and under 5 grams of sugar, and I am doing well.  I do get tired, and very emotional. Somedays I just cry, and don't know why.  I know I have lost so much, but yet why do I still feel so heavy.  I would love to hear from some of you.
