Topic: RE: How much weight have you lost so far
well, I guess I am the slowest looser in the group...38 pounds at this point... But I have to say I am just not going to beat myself up about it... i did loose 4o before the surgery and the fact is that my particular body just does not give weight up easily.
Still I have not been this weight in 20 years and I am grateful for the surgery...I am confident that the weight will come off in it's own time...plus spring is on the way and I will be out and about a lot more which will hepl with activity as well as mood.
This whole thing is however a bit of a puzzling science project and I don't always understand what is going on in my body.... But I am trying to give it a little compassion for once....
On gray days i get depressed about my lack of progress, but try to reframe the whole thing every now and then... I am doing fine...and my body will thank me for it one day...but maybe right now it is in a recalibration mode that takes time...
Its all good enough...and congratulations to each and every one of us!!!!!

Topic: RE: 5 K Walk/Run Anyone?
My sister just ran a 5k last weekend. I told her that maybe next year I will run one with her too. She said that she is doing one Thanksgiving...
Maybe I will walk a couple between now and then and will actually run with her then.
The biggest loser 1/2 marathon from this past week inspired me to try harder.

How funny! I was in the row right in front of you all the way to the Left before the middle isle. LOL. WHAT A SMALL WORLD! And my appointment was for 3:15, so I probably Just missed you! lol The girl that was sitting to my right last Thursday (pre-op) was walking out of her appointment on Monday as I was waiting to be seen. Such a small world. I remember seeing you, your husband, and your son.
I'm in Lafayette. I still have the list of names, phone numbers and I think I saw you on it so I might give you a call soon. Or you can give me a call soon! I'm the only April on there I think!
Hope you are having a great week. Today I went and walked 30 mins this morning and 30 mins this afternoon. I'm finally gettin' in the groove with my committment to exercise. I know the weight will come off faster this way. Ok, talk to ya soon!

The good news... I hit ONEDERLAND yesterday, which makes my TOTAL weightloss at 72ish lbs, down 61 from surgery. I'm thrilled.
I'm so very tired though... so I'm interested to read that you all have this bounding energy. I will pay closer attention to my protein and water intake, but from what I surmise, I'd doing very well with these, and am consistent with my supplements. My labwork all looks fine too. Maybe it's psychological. change is hard for me and I have ZERO clothes for spring. time to do some more shopping! That ALWAYS feels good. I bought my first pair of size 16 misses pants since high school the other day. whoohoo

Hey girl! Noooo I wasn't offended in the slightest! I was just saying that I've learned from the beginning to not compare myself to others is all. I've been following tons of others for months on youtube and watching their weightloss and sooo many of them lose waaay faster than me. We're just all different and I'm not dissappointed that I lose slower than some. I'm just so happy to be losing!
Are you in Lafayette? I was at Dr. G's Monday too! lol We oughta meet up. Are u one of the ones who tried to plan the lunch/dinner thing a while back? I can't remember now who did that. Maybe we can meet up one day.
Oh and yes I went to the support group meeting for the first time last week. Have a great week!

Thank you! This is quite a journey, isn't it? It is so nice to speak to others that started around the same time. We CAN do this! You are having great success and I know after 4.5 months post up I feel better at 46 than when I was 36. I wish you the best and would love to continue to hear about you success! All the best, Nancy

The mind is really powerful. I have always considered myself a rational, realistic person...until WLS. That little voice of doubt is really loud when you hit a stall. For so many of us we have tried and failed at so many "fad diets" that it is no wonder that it seizes the opportunity to speak when we need it least.
You are doing great! Celebrate how much you have accomplished and don't let that voice, or the scale dictate your success with this journey! Nancy
