Success!!

Hi Everyone: HAPPY FRIDAY TO ALL!!! I just wanted to say a few words today about success. I read a lot of posts that reflect that some think that if they don't get to goal, are losing slow or are on a plateau, that somehow, it's a failure. After all the diets we have all tried before WLS, losing weight through gastric bypass surgery is a great thing and every pound you lose should be considered a success. There is no failure with gastric bypass. You may lose slowly but remember it is not a competition so don't compare yourself with someone else. Your surgeon may give you a goal or you may have a goal in your mind. If you come up short by 5 pounds, so what? Getting to 99% of your weight loss goal is a success. Look at it this way. A baseball player that fails 70% of the time is a Hall of Famer. Remember to expect and accept success and you will never consider yourself a failure. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!!!
