My 1 Year Post op RNY Gastric bypass

So 1 year today i was having my RNY Gastric bypass at St Josephs’ hospital in Toronto by Dr. Lindsay. Before opti fast I was 360lbs and day of surgery I was 334lbs. Through this year I have learned so much that I am sometimes overwhelmed with my knew knowledge of food and portions, I have learned that food isn’t my security blanket it is just fuel for my body I no longer depend on food as comfort or happiness. So sometimes I do forget to even eat.  If I had the choice to go back and do it all again I would do it with a heartbeat. My surgery has saved my life I wasn’t able to lose my weight without the assistance of my tool. Each day that goes by I’m truly grateful of my surgery and all the support that I have had from my friends in Cambridge you ladies/Jared have been my life line I’m sure I drive you all crazy as hell with my questions, my whining and posting allot but I love you all and I don’t think I could have been so successful without you guys! Now here’s a bunch of things I can do/accomplished throughout this year.
