Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  More noise from my head.... when? when will i see me the way you see me? when is enough enough? when will i get the fact that a size 8 does not equal a size 22/24? when will i hold myself in high reguard and begin to know and feel that YES, i am worthy? when will i get that i cannot eat like i used to? (lol i still try sometimes  )when does it change from "this" to just living? when? im not sad, or depressed or anything. i just stare off into the distance and wonder sometimes. what will life be like 5, 10, or even 20 years from now. anybody else ever think about that in terms of post op life?

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 know Kenya I am soo right there with you! I did get down to my goal weight only to find most of my loved ones thought I looked way too skinny. My Mother said I looked to thin, my boyfriend said i looked unhealthy, my kids would try to feed me (lol) and on and on... I was a size 6, I felt great that I was in a size 6 and they fit good not tight. I have since took everyone's advice and put on about 10lbs and now I they tell me I look great. I still see the FAT girl I always was inside and I don't know if that will ever change.You are so right the size of clothes should not matter (esp. from what size I was, also 22/24) but it does to me at times. Part of me does not feel complete, I feel like I just want to be "NORMAL".This has been a wonderful life change for myself and I would not go back if given a chance. Sometimes I do still sit and think as you do WHY? WHAT IF? You are right it has nothing to do with depression or sadness they are just thoughts that cross my mind from time to time. Overall the happiness and the peace of mind are what count.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | First, we will all have a great life because of this surgery. We won't have heart disease, diebetes, high blood pressure, cholestorol or any other "co-morbidities". We will be healthy and slim and in good physical shape because we've learned that excercise is a part of life. We will have a good relationship with food and be able to enjoy a "little" bit of most things without feeling deprived of anything. We will smile and laugh with old friends and new friends, because we won't be limited in our human interactions by our weight anymore. We will think back fondly on our surgeries and thank the good Lord that we were blessed by the wonderful gift of modern medicine so that we can continue to live the good life we have been given! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | i guess i just wonder is all LOL! i mean dammit when will i be able to sit with a plate of food at a gathering? i mean a meat, a veggie and some darn carbs? i know i know we will be able to eat more further out but now i am so limitted i cannot even imagine it. DO YOU KNOW WHAT 3 OZS LOOS LIKE???  and because i eat so little all i eat is protein which im sure is not good. i havent had vegetables consistantly AT ALL since surgery....im a mess.ive only been out to eat twice since surgery because of it. i joke about being cheap and what not but it is embarassing LOL. to go out and pick and not drink and have the waitress ask what was wrong with the meal etc. i would like to feel normal.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Girl You Need To Go Out To Dinner And Enjoy Yourself. Dont Worry About What The Waitresss Says. I Also Still Eat Very Small Amounts OF FOOD DURING THE DAY, Where I Eat All Protein. But Like Tonight I Ate 2 Veggie Chicken Nuggets And 2 Tablespoons Of Peas. I Try To Fit Some Veggies In Even Though Its Not Much. And As I Go Thru Out The Day If I See My Protein Intake Is Low I Take An Extra Shot Of Protein. But Once In A While I Like To Enjoy Some Veggies Even If It Means I Have To Take An Extra Shot Of Protein. I Know With This Surgery Protein Is Very Important But I Also Know Veggies Are Important In General So It Wont Kill Us To Squeeze A Few In And Just Take Extra Protein Shots/drinks To Make Up For It.
