Hey it has been a year and a half since I have had my surgery, I have had a lot going on but first drum roll please.... I am down to 115 lbs!!!!! I have had the best experience with my surgery I really am a new person! I have changed my life completely I am going back to school to be a certified wellness instructor! I want to be a personal trainer specifically to help others who are going through the Gastric Bypass surgery. This is why I need your help. I am doing a final project and I need someone who is around 6 months or so out from their surgery. I believe that is when the Dr. said that is when he will give a medical release for someone to start on a physical fitness program. I have a project due that I need immediate help with but also I am trying to design my program and need to do a little recherché and get helpful input. If you're interested in getting some free personal Training advice and don't mind being my guinea pig then please help me!!!!

Donya, Your very right, I'm sure we have hit that wall when we all fail our previous diets. The truth is this is not those other diets..This is for life, We do have control! nows the time to make the right choices and not beat our selfs up when we make a bad one, this is for life and no one is perfect all the time and we need to cut our selfs a little slack. Have a little faith in this tool and ourselfs... Thank you for bring my spirits up and helping me see that I do have control over myself! Hugs to all!! Rebecca

WOW!! I have been feeling the EXACT same way. I've been feeling like I'm out of control, and I really need to get a grip. Its scary, I'm so afraid to fail at this, it feels so good to know that I'm not alone, maybe its a 6mo. thing. This is where we've failed before dieting, you know when you lose some weight, then you give in to the cravings, and figure what the heck, you've messed up now, so you might as well continue messing up. Well we're all done with that horrible cycle, we're going to take control, and continue to work this wonderful tool have a wonderful day!! Donya

Its so nice to see that Im not the only one feeling this way. I guess this must be normal @ 6 months out?? It is a scarey feeling though when you realize you just ate more then you have been able to in months. I actually felt guilty until my Husband pointed out the fact it was still 4 times less then what I could have ate pre surgery. That made me feel better. Hope that comforts you all too !

That is what I love about all this. I was never ever a public speaker ....nwo I have been talking about his surgery to all who will listen!!!! I get that op at least once a month! I love it!!!
