I have reached a plateau. I’m hovering between 163-168 and been here for a few months. My goal is 150 lbs. I know I nee
d to step up my game (exercise, eat even better) in order to get there. RNY has done all its going to do and now the rest is totally up to me. On Sept 15, I’ll be a year and a half post-op. I’ve released 137 lbs (today’s weight 165). I take my vitamins everyday and my last blood work was perfect (finally).
I feel fabulous and am thrilled to shop for clothing in normal stores. I do have loose saggy skin that I would love to have removed if it becomes an option for me financially especially my arms however saggy skin is far better to deal with than an extra 137 lbs. This has been an amazing, challenging, life altering journey and I have no regrets at all.
I can eat more now. I can eat anything that’s healthy easily. The things I can eat that are not so great Burger King veggie burgers, potato chips and popcorn. Red wine & gin martinis. (I’m eating way too many chips I need to cut those out). I cannot eat more than 2 bites of anything sweet. I cannot drink anything carbonated. I cannot eat more than about 6 bites of something deep fried (except chips for some reason). The sweet stuff will give me dumping syndrome and it hurts really bad so I don’t go there.
I love my life and I am so grateful for all the wonderful amazing supportive people in it. I am grateful for all that I have and all that is to come. I am also grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way.
Thank you all!!
Love & Blessings

People are asking about the MC so here it is. This is for information only. Do at your own risk.
I personally feel better and more motivated after doing the Master Cleanse. It is a detox and weight-loss is simply a bonus.
Buy lots of lemons and maple syrup #2 or grade B, from a health food store. Grocery store usually only has #1 or Grade A. You want B or C.and cayenne pepper. Also need herbal laxative tea and unionized sea salt (should be grayish) also from a health food store.
I mix mine in a liter size mason jar. I squeeze the lemon through a strainer into a measuring cup and add usually about 1 – 1.5 oz the I add the same of the syrup.
Juice from 2 lemons equal amount of maple syrup (or a bit less)dash of cayenne fill with water put on lid shake and drink with straw.
Drink 2 -4 jars of that a day and as much water as you want.You can also drink peppermint tea.
Then you drink the herbal laxative tea at bedtime.In the morning do the Salt Water Flush or have another herbal laxative tea.
Salt Water Flush (2 tsp unionized sea salt 1 liter of water warmed slightly mix drink all at once… wait.. then run to the bathroom several times) definitely cleans you out. Be prepared to wait about an hour and spend about an hour close to a bathroom. Sometimes more.
Here is a copy of the original book http://www.cookingwithsean.net/images/TheMasterCleanse.pdf
You do it for 10 days up to 40 (craziness). I’ve done 14 but usually aim for 10.
When coming off you start with a day of only fresh squeezed OJ. Then veggie soup and/or salad the next day.
Good Luck!!

I haven’t posted in a long time. I’ve been busy on other people projects and just life in general. But I just got a message from Cabby Ken He said “Be careful what you ask 4…Don’t be sick anymore..Please.” And pointed to my blog. And I had been sick a few times over the winter since leaving that as my last post.
Well I am not sick. I am feally healthy and changed and ready tune up for new spring projects. I restarted eating 98% raw vegan on March 1 and as of this morning I had released 4 lbs! (yep 4 lbs in one day!) I’ve been meeting new interesting people and connecting with past amazing friends. Life is great.
Bring on the spring!!
