Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hi All. I just want to introduce myself to the group. Yesterday I went for my 2 year post op checkup with Dr. Inabnet from Mt. Sinai Hospital in NY. I had a Lap RNY on June 15, 2001. After the first year I was down 100 lbs. to 142. I am now 157 lbs. but I feel great. If I can stay the way I am now I will be happy but I am worried that I will gain more weight. At 142 I was very flabby. The skin was " loose " on my legs and my face was drawn. I think I look healthier now and even with the added weight, which seemed to pour right into my legs, I still wear the same size I was wearing last summer. I'm eating healthy for the most part but I must admit that occasionally I have a couple of cookies or something else sweet. My portions are still small but probably " normal " for a naturally skinny person. I can eat just about anything now without getting sick which may or may not be a good thing. I get hungry often and might be snacking too much in between meals, even though I try to have healthy snacks. My exercise is mostly swimming. Due to severe arthritis and previous back surgeries, that seems to be the best exercise for me. I would like to hear from people about how they are doing 2 years or so out and to find out if gaining a small amount of weight back at this point is " normal " or if I am truly overdoing it. I look forward to hearing from you. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
