Introduction | Hi all! My name is Cari. In May of 2008 I had a RNY Gastric Bypass. I've lost over 100 lbs. but at 2 years post-op I am still about 81 lbs. from my goal and my weight loss has slowed to almost a stop. I've lost the 60% of my excess weight the doctors say we should expect to lose as a result of the surgery. Now the rest is completely up to me. But with still so much weight to lose I'm the size now that many patients are when they have the surgery. Thoughts like that are discouraging so I try to look at it differently. I no longer take any medication for diabetes, or blood pressure and my sleep apnea is completely resolved. While I always tell people that I did this to “feel better not to look better”, I will admit that there is a part of me that wants to be a rockin’ hot babe too! I'm not perfect. Those who know me will tell you I'm far from it. But I'm trying. I find myself sometimes slipping back into some bad habits and I need accountability to help me turn those habits around before I let them go too far. This blog is my attempt to keep myself accountable. I'll post my thoughts and ideas, as well as recipes, product recommendations, cookbook reviews, etc. Thanks for visiting! |
