NO, many leave the board because they have given up, so I will take your question as being rhetorical. Thanks for the quote, we all need to be mindful of the direction we are heading.
Did you go to MG coffee?

Topic: Monday Morning Weigh-In--Let's hear from ya!
Hi All:
How is summertime treating you? Are you able to get out and sweat some weight off? We have such a short summer, I really try to make the most of it.
My weight has been bouncing around among about 2 lbs, but since I am below my goal, I haven't been too upset. I would like to lose a few more, but I also know I am reshaping my body. I actually tried on some size 6 capris yesterday that fit nicely!! I haven't been a size 6 since I was about 4 years old, LOL!! Since I haven't lost that much weight, I'm assuming I'm redistributing it with my exercise.
Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 148.0
This week: 147.0
This week: Lost 1 lbs.
Have a nice week, everyone!

Topic: WAKE UP, MINNESOTA!!!
Is everyone out there SOOOOO successful that they no longer need the support of this board? (If so, WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG???)
Anyway, just to get you all thinking, I thought I'd share one of my favorite quotes ~
"To get something you've never had, you have to DO something you've never done."
Chew on THAT for a spell, and REPORT BACK!

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful

Topic: RE: some good advice about requirements threw mn care
I had Health Partners, but not MN Care. Yet your requirements are very similar to what I did two years ago. It took about 6-7 months, but I am thankful for it in retrospect. Much of your challenge will be mental, in the area of changing your relationship with food and your reactions to life's hurdles.
When I did my psychological assessment, I had heard that 3 sessions was typical. I had 6 or seven and I was almost not approved, because I was under a lot of stress at the time, and were not sure I would be a good long term candidate.
And by long term, I mean one that loses the weight and changes their behavior TO ensure they keep it off. Keeping it off is the challenge, the operation is only a tool to help you get there. Ask and 2 or 3 year out individuals and they will tell you about the honeymoon period and then the rest of your life.
I wish you well. Start thinking success right away and start applying RNY procedures prior to surgery. I lost 50 pounds before surgery and I am glad I did. It helped my doctor help me.
I wish you the best. Find a support group, go to meetings and determine to follow your doctors recommendations to the letter.

Never make somebody a priority when they only consider you an option.
