Topic: RE: It's been over a year......
Thank you so much for your posting... As an update... I saw my surgeon last week and I had gained 3 pounds, but he told me that my hair, skin, muscle tone were great. He was very happy about my exercise program. He put me on a eating plan that I plan on following and I will be seeing him monthly for a while. He was very understanding, but also serious about seeing me succeed at the weight loss.
Blessings,
Carolyn

Carolyn,
Hang in there! You're right, it is a lifestyle change and I think that is the hardest part of all. As they say, the dr. operated on our stomachs, not our heads. Stop and remember why you decided to undergo the drastic step of having someone re-route your plumbing. If you're like most of us, it was to lose weight to get healthy. That goal probably hasn't changed for you. Our weight is just a number but being healthy - going off meds no longer needed, being able to walk without pain or shortness of breath, etc. - those things are tangible results of your hard work. If you have lost enough weight that you've met those health goals, GREAT! But if you haven't, get back on your surgeon's program and keep working towards your goal. I know, easier said than done, but I also know that YOU CAN DO IT!! You've made it this far & you can make it all the way!

Things are looking up! I am not depressed anymore,
and I DON'T HAVE DIABETES!!!!
The blood sugar test was a false positive. Doctor re-checked it; I'm fine.
I resigned my job: jump:
Hated that job, anyway.
Now I am waiting to hear if I got the new job. If I did, great, if not...no problem.
I won the weight loss contest at school with a total of 19 lbs. since January. But they made me drop out because they said it wasn't fair. I had an unfair advantage because of the bypass.
They never said that when I entered the contest and PAID MY $20.00!!!! Sore losers!
