Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  In the event of an actual emergency.... this journey has been delightful in so many ways....I lost a lot early out...and in general, I feel great about me.... my problem? I have no patience...I have lost so much, and I got spoiled with the pounds falling off.... I can hear Doc now....saying "when was the last time you lost nearly 100 pounds in less than 6 months?"...well....NEVER, but still, it's A REAL MIND trip when the weight loss slows down....and you are working so hard...sticking to the plan, exercising yourself silly (till you get dizzy, thinking your legs are going to fall off) and still the weight loss slows to a trickle..... I'm trying real hard to be positive and I'm focusing on the prize....in reality, if I never lost another pound, I'm STILL BETTER OFF than I was!!! My mind's eye isn't agreeing with my common sense, in that I want this over...but then again, what will I do then?....the last 6 months have been focused pretty much ENTIRELY on this journey...to the point I KNOW my family is sick of hearing about it LOL....but when I reach goal...and maintain..and have plastics....what's life after WLS look like? I know I will always eat healthy from here on out...I know I will continue to work out....I don't want my new hobby to be shopping (TOO EXPENSIVE LOL)....I just got really spoiled & accustomed to quick gratification early out.... If it's worth having...it's worth waiting on....this message has been brought to you by the local RR looney bin...thanks for listening...in the event of an ACTUAL emergency, you will be instructed where to tune in for further details...!!!!  |

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.  |

| Super Moderator  | Very good take, Kath, I am ROFL  Yes, patience will bring you rewards you never dreamed of.  Life after WLS, well, I think you are going to discover that a lot of the issues you have, are actually the same as the issues *normies* have. The reality of life is no different whether you are big or small. The big difference is that you are healthier, your footsteps are quicker and lighter, and you probably are happier with yourself as well. So, the same issues may take on a different aspect, but you still may find them there. After WLS, you will need to develop a new pattern in dealing with them. That's why this is called a journey, and CraigT once wrote, "The Journey is the Destination." Take a read, even if you've read it before. I think you'll be able to relate to what he's saying. (((((HUGS)))))

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | I know how you feel Kath. I saw my surgeon 2 days ago and he said that my weight loss will definitely slow and be somewhat spuradict now, but that I will make it to goal. We have come 2/3 of the way in 6 months which is faster than the norm. Now we are at the final lap. You cheer for me and I will cheer for YOU. We will make this.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Kath you took the words right out of my mouth. i totally understand. I too feel like i was spoiled and the weight was just melting off of me and now I've been at this stall for quite some time. I guess the frustrating part like you said is that I am working out like crazy and doing cardio every day. I work so hard and get all sweaty and get a really good workout in and all. I do my weights every other day but I know there are people who dont exercise at all and their weight just keeps coming off. I get frustrated too. I did chat with Doc yesterday and I think I may have had too much protein in my daily diet so Im cuttiing back and also logging onto fitday to keep track of things. Its only day two of less protein but I totally here what your saying.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Your not loosing steam...LOL. CHEER!!!! You only have 35 lbs to go. 5 more pounds to be at 100 lbs. I too am impatient...LOL I want to go shopping and not worry about spending too much on something I won't be able to wear in a few weeks. I want to buy a new coat, new shoes (I am down to 2 pair and even they don't fit right), but look out in another 38 lbs I am going on a long wild shopping spree. Maybe we can meet and spree together...LOL. We are so close to our finish line. SO LETS KEEP OUR EYES ON OUR PRIZE. RACE YOU TO THE FINISH LINE OR MAYBE WE WILL CROSS THAT ONE TOGETHER. Did you every dream we would be this far at 6 months...

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I never dreamed I would be down nearly 100 pounds in less than 6 months...I just never thought it possible...I remember seeing a guy at the doctor on pre-op...he was 60 years old and had lost 78 pounds in 4 months...I kept thinking...he's a man..they lose it faster....don't expect HIS results to be yours...and sure enough.....here I am, nearly 100 pounds lighter and shy of 6 months! I should be happy, but I'm rarely one to settle....I"M TOO DEMANDING for my own good!! |
