Re: My RNY and my New Life
 

Great work Ron...you are an inspiration man! Keep it up!

Re: My RNY and my New Life
 

Inspiring to say the least! You look great man, keep up the good work.

Just curious; but did/do you have sleep apnea as a result of your weight? I ask, because I have it and it is believed to be a direct result of my weight gain. I'm also fearful of diabetes as it runs in my family. So... I need to start thinking about losing weight myself. What really sucks is nearly all of my weight goes straight to my gut. Makes a great beer shelf, but also feels like I've got the incredible shrinking winky! :r

Re: My RNY and my New Life
 

i apologize for not responding, as i must have missed these somehow!.

i did not have any problems with sleep apnea, but extreme weight is the leading factor in that.. If you are starting to think u need WLS, time to tal to a surgeon and discuss some options, dont have any shame!

Re: My RNY and my New Life
 

Way to go Ron. Can hardly see you in that last picture! I just got back from the gym and saw your latest post and now I wanna go back. I gained a few pounds over Thanksgiving and you just inspired me again to keep working at it. Right now I'm too up and down and need to consider this surgery as an option. Take care and congratulations. Steve

I have sort of been watching this thread, and I realized something - I never let you know I was thinking about you and had you in my prayers.

Forgive me for the oversight.

You are in my prayers.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: My RNY and my New Life
 

why thank you Rev! The Lord has been in my corner for sure

Lunch: A Cheeseburger and fries with all the trimmings, some cookies, a snapple, and some chips (nauseating)

Snack - candy bar

Dinner: 5 slices of Pizza

Snack. 8 cookies and 14 ounces of 2% Milk.

_____________________________________________


Fast Forward to now..

Breakfast - 3 ounces of cottage cheese and 1 ounce of SF applesauce, or 1 scrampled egg with a sprinkle of cheddar, and a strip of turkey bacon

snack. 10-12 cashews

Lunch - 4 ounces of turkey chili with sprinkled cheddar

snack - Supreme protein bar

Gym for 1.5 hours, cardio and shredding

Dinner - 4-5 ounce chicken breast with some carrots or some other vegetable.

BTW, for reference, i try for 75-90 grams of protein and 60 ounces of liquid a day..

Re: My RNY and my New Life
 

:tu:tu... way to go Ron....might need a "new" screen name....just sayin'....:D

Re: My RNY and my New Life
 

"Lil' Ronnie"?

Re: My RNY and my New Life
 

LOL.. hmm.. i am still big though.. just not as big as before..

but i should change my screen name.. i was always tagged with the whole "BigRon" name, but im not even sure if i ever even liked it.. i guess it just stuck.. And i never really wanted it, but i never had a good case to argue. LOL
