Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  this little voice.... ok...this is stupid....but here goes!! How many of us newbies, sit & wonder through a stall & have this little voice in our head going, "Is that all there is?? Have I lost all I will lose?" I know it's a stall.....my body adjusting....I know I feel SO much better less 50 pounds, than I did 2 months ago. I read about others who are 4 or 8 months out, and they've lost nearly ALL their weight. Am I just being impatient? Patience is NOT one of my strong points, and I constantly have to remind myself of the progress I've made. I wish the little voice had an ON/OFF switch! |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | You are not alone. I almost had a meltdown yesterday because I was worried that I wouldn't lose anymore. I am stalled too and know what you are going through. I have started feeling like I am out of control and I can't stand that feeling. Thats the way I felt before surgery. We will start losing again, we just have to be patient.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | its all normal and to show you this was an older post i put up: Postop Day 1 through Week 2: “What the hell did I just DO to myself???” “Why am I/am I not hungry?” “I’ll NEVER be able to get in all the fluid/protein/food they want me to.” “I can eat TOO much – did I break something?” “I can’t eat enough…will I die of starvation?” “I can’t believe how badly this hurt! ~OR~ I can’t believe I even had surgery, because there’s so little pain!” “Why do I have no energy?” “When can I eat….fill in the blank?” “Will I ever be able to gulp water again?” “Why did I GAIN 10 pounds???” “Wow, I’ve lost 10 pounds!” You think you've hit your first plateau. Nope. Odds are VERY good you haven't Postop weeks 2 through 12: Post op remorse usually fades during this time period. What a relief that is! You TRY hard to stick to your doctors diet regimen/protocol and wonder if you’re evil when you slip off the wagon by eating….fill in the blank. You think you've hit your first, 2nd or 3rd plataue Nope. Odds are VERY good you haven't) Nearly everyone experiences a stall during the first 3 months. You accidentally gulp water and freak that you’ve broken your pouch. You accidentally forget to chew something to death and fear you’ve plugged your stoma. You FEAR strictures, fistulas and leaks every time you burp, get nauseated, have diarrhea, feel a muscle cramp, etc. This fear is not abnormal and you ‘could’ have one of these since this is the prime time for it – however fear is no way to live. There are common symptoms attributed to these. Hopefully you’ve researched them postop and can shelve the fear and keep a reasonable eye out for them. Post op remorse usually fades during this time period. What a relief that is! You TRY hard to stick to your doctors diet regimen/protocol and wonder if you’re evil when you slip off the wagon by eating….fill in the blank. Months 3 through 18: You worry you are a slow loser and have days you doubt the tool will work, or wonder if it’s broke. I am NOT mocking. Some people’s tools DO break during this period of time, but it is in the minority, not the majority. You wonder if you’ll ever get to goal. You made goal and worry you’ll not stop losing. You worry because you can eat TOO much. You worry because you still eat too little. You worry about getting in enough protein. You worry you’re getting in too much protein. You ponder whether carbs are evil or not. You question again whether diet pills are evil. (They ARE!) You compare your losses against everyone else’s. You discover that you had an exercise guru hidden within you and are now an exercise maniac. You discover that you HATE exercise and try and force yourself to get moving. You may have hit your first plateau don't panic! - Have you noticed a reoccurring theme? Months 19 and beyond: You may hit a plataue don't panic! You reach goal and worry you'll regain. You wonder if you'll stop losing! You wonder if you'll EVER make goal (you've likely heard about the dreaded window and fear it closed at 18 months - You may find yourself sliding; eating the wrong foods; slacking on exercise; and freak when you regain 10 pounds. Time to get back on track! I am sure many can or will relate to these things! I know i can!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Thanks everyone...I have had hundreds of strange thoughts...then I remind myself this is the right thing to do. I even went through the one of "Well, if I LOOK SO GOOD NOW what was I before???" Then I remind myself I am doing this for my health and made the right choice!!!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I think its truly human nature -- for so many years we lived with the struggle of trying to lose pounds -- then along comes this surgery and we start dropping weight almost every single day and we get to liking that -- then all of a sudden our body decides to take a break and catch its breath and we find ourselves feeling blue because we're not losing. I know it was tough for me for the two weeks of my first stall, but my body seems to have caught up and is ready to lose again! Hang in there -- look at how well you've done already! My gosh -- a year ago we would not have believed we could have lost this much so fast -- and here we are today! Have faith sister -- y ou will move downward again! |
