Topic: RE: 8 YRS POST-OP & STILLLLL in size 8Long jeans!
Hi Sheila,
You are wise to use the first 6mos. post-op to "install" new behavioral responses  to the stress & anxiety triggers that sabotage permanent weight loss!

Have you read my articles available (no strings attached = FREE  )
at   
www.embodysuccesscoach.com ?

For me to send you specific information about how this information can apply to your situation, you'll need to send me your email address so I can attach document files for your review.
You can send your email address via a personal message to me through OH.

At that point, a free consultation with me would be beneficial to you.

I'm here to help others, like me, overcome a lifetime littered with failed weight loss efforts!

Let's say, "To be continued!"

 Oh, hon, pleeeeez go to my blog & read my articles so you'll understand just how powerful the forces of self-sabotage are and how it IS possible to totally shift the program to step out of that whole scene!!
Your self-talk could be mine after a lifetime of diets & psychotherapy!
When you understand the parts of your BRAIN (not your personality) that are driving your sabotage, you'll be ready to learn how to work with that part of your brain to overcome it!
And it won't be hell or miserable, either. Quite the opposite!
I care!

Dear Sherry,
We need to talk!
But not now (I'm on East Coast & gotta get some zzzz's).
Check out my FREE articles on my blogsite, OK?
Overcoming self-sabotage is NOT about  terrorizing yourself into lifelong  fear, avoidance & deprivation!
To be cont'd...

Ahhhhh, Grasshopper; if you only knew how many of my coaching clients came to me after they'd re-gained 50+ pounds of their RNY-triggered weightloss...

18 months out - keep up the great work; and, check out some of my articles on self-sabotage so you won't have to deal with that.

 Thanks & hugs to everyone who personally responded to my post! If I'd-a-thunk-it, I would've held off until after my
day long retreat today!  I finally have time to catch up and,
OMG!

 I promise to personally respond to you if you personally posted or messaged me. It may take a few days; but, I will!

I hope other successful longterm post-ops will read your outpouring of thanks for being encouraged and post their stories & pics, as well.

In the meantime, everyone get a good night's sleep.  G'night!

Thank God I started weight-lifting 4 wks post-op! I can lift over 12 lbs. of twins with ease - unless they get squirmy...
No gym equipment can prepare me for that!

I posted a new album of their pics on my OH Profile!
Just when I "let go & let God"  accepting the idea that their 11 yr. marriage would not include biological progeny, Mitsu got pregnant.
They told us when we came for Thanksgiving - TWINS, fraternal, one each - would be arriving the end of March!!
They decided to give their Mom a break and were delivered on Sat.
I get to be with them on Thurs.
WOOOOO HOOOO!

Topic: RE: Some people are blessed!!
For the record, this life coach works with each new client in a structured 12-week Foundation Program that teaches how to master their own self-sabotage mechanisms. It is designed to produce confidence in one's own ability to be the world's foremost expert on one's self! Once completed, that's it! I deplore coaches, clergy or therapists who need to make themselves indispensable to their clients/ parishioners/ patients.

I rarely work with clients who have completed the Foundation Program; and do so only if/when they contact me to help them through a very specific, finite situation or challenge - not to tell them what to do, but as a sounding board/ support resource to make it safe for them to search their own solutions and strategies.

My articles, blog posts and videos are full of practical information that anyone is free to employ in their own successful WL program. I am delighted to freely share what I have learned and experienced through not only the 7 years post-op but my lifetime (all 62+ years) of dealing with weight, diet and "living from the neck up!"

Dear Chabela,
I was 56 1/2 yrs. old when I underwent RNY; I was put on my first calorie-counting diet at age 4. I have lost weight on every diet and diet-pill known in the West in that time; and, I have gained it back - and more! There is no way I have forgotten my LIFETIME of living with obesity, then morbid obesity.

Since my childhood, I have lived with the depression that my identity as a "fat girl" was linked with.

I have watched others who had their RNY with the same doc around the same time as me go through the exhilaration and triumph of being transformed into glamorous beauties only to gain back almost half their weight within 5 years.

I coach precisely because I do care and it does break my heart to see or hear about another "WLS failure."
