Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  No No Nooooo! I came on to confess. i actualy thought about buying diet pills today. I stood in the aisle at the supermarket reading them and almost threw a bottle in the cart. I think I hit a slump here. I am of course a little down about a not so good loss this month. And i feel like i should have lost way more by now. Would i die if i took a diet pill? I'm looking for a boost. I guess i dont realy need an appetite suppressant....but hey wait, i dont really know why i even want to take it to begin with?? Is it a control thing? I'm a little lost here. I think I've fallen and can't get up LOL! Can someone help me up?? I kind of feel like bits and pieces of the old me are slowly creeping back in. I mean I had my "DUH DAY" the other day and now this...what am i supposed to do at this point? Do i lock myself inside so that i am not tempted to do the things i used to? I guess this is a question for the oldtimers and people who are already at goal: how do you keep the old habbits out long- term???

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 |  Kenya.......don't do it! You've come so far. "Good things come to those who wait....." I know I saw some posting previously about carb detox, it might give you the boost that you need. I know you can do it.....lol

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | You are doing great Kenya. Look how far you have come. You are just at a lull in your weight loss. It will pick back up. Just keep eating how your suppose to and you'll start losing again. You'll probably start losing big chunks of weight before you know it.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Now girl ! You already know the answer to that question. You know what my position is on my own WLS. I havent done it yet. Listen honey......read old post. Mix up your routine some. Change what you eat at different times of the day. Your on a plateu. You gotta suck it up girl. You have just come way to far to do somthing like that to yourself. Look at what you eat. Just enough for a bird to swallow. I agree with boots. This didnt happen overnight and its not gonna go away that fast either. Think about what you have changed already. Go look at your pictures for goodness sake. Girl your only 4 months out. My own Dr told me its gonna be 1 year or more. Gilry if you bought them pills take em back. |

| Super Moderator  | Kenya, ((((((HUGS)))))) Your emotions are being rocked because of everything that you have to carry on your shoulders. You'll probably guess what I'm going to say. Have you found that professional help yet? I think that is the best bet for you, when you are feeling down and out like this. Don't dilly dally, my girl, I think it's really time now for you to go get it.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | thanks everybody. doc: i know. im having insurance difficulties. mental health services are supposed to free of charge offered by my employer...however there is a supposed approval process. you actually have to fill out paperwork and wait for someone to "ok" your mental illness. i actually filled out a form entitled "request for mental health services and treatment LOL!!!!....ridiculous. I've been working on this since the week after my sirgery back in april and still not approval or referal. i thought maybe in the interim i could go out of pocket. i cant even afford it. the cost to see a shrink for an hour  ive been trying to fight this part on my own for sometime now. needless to say i am so NOT winning the battle. I'll be alright. coming here eases it honestly. msvickie: no i didnt buy them. i got scared and left them at the checkout.

| Super Moderator | Kenya, that would be frustrating for you, I am sorry to hear that. Incidentally, diet pills could harm your pouch, but even if you took them, it wouldn't work, be cause your appetite is supressed already.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | WELL KENYA ONCE YOU ARE APPROVED I HOPE YOU DO GO FOR HELP. AT FIRST YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE IT BUT YOU KEEP GOING DONT STOP. BECAUSE AFTER A WHILE I PROMISE YOU WILL START TO ENJOY IT. I USED TO YEARS AGO AND WHEN I HAD TO GO FOR THE PHYSCIATRIC EVALUATION FOR THIS SURGERY IT ACTUALLY REMINDED ME HOW MUCH I MISS MY SESSIONS. ITS THE MOST HEALTHY THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF. YOU MIGHT NOT NOTICE RIGHT AWAY (just like with weight loss) BUT AFTER A WHILE IT DOES WORK!!!
