My 1 year post op w/ Dr Bour did not go so well

Thank you so very much, I am gonna do just that!! Patti

Patti my friend, YOU are awesome and you are doing an awesome job.... look how close you are to goal... you WILL make it!!!  Hang in there, I am sorry you were feeling so down. You should have let us know... we are here for you and we love you.  I am so glad I have you as a friend and you have been an inspiration to me on this journey.  I hope to see you tonight.... ((((HUGS)))) Pam 

Thanks Pam, I was so upset with myself that I almost felt like I should not say anything because the only one to blame is myself. I have to realize that I have lost 112 pounds and I cannot do things my way. I very much like/need to be in control and that I cannot do it my way is my big hang up!!!  I fell the same about you, I am glad that we are friends and I am here for you too.  Love you bunches, Patti PS I am so proud of you and the big big steps you have taken in the past few months! You rock!!!

Patty I think you have done wonderful and if you ask most people after 6-9 months the pounds quit coming of quickly I know it did for me from 9 to a year I didn't lose anything I went through spirts of weightloss. Dr Bour cannot predict what your body will do even if you followed everything to a T your body knows where it needs to be to be healthy. I love ya girl and you are beautiful and when your not so focused on losing it it will come off. Big Hugs Marcey

I am so glad we have become friends and I thank you for your message and you phone call! You are a great friend and I am so glad you are in my life!!

Love you bunches

Patti

Oh Patti  ((((HUGS))))  See you should have come down, we would have cheered you up.   I am sorry you had a bad visit.   I hate it for you!  But it will be OK, you have us in your corner and we are here for you. Take Care Patti! Julie

Julie, Thanks so much and I wish I had come down too! I would have loved to see you guys and I know I would have felt better, that is just a given! I thought I had to work on Saturday and they called me in the am and did not need me...Uggghhh! Thanks for your support and I hope to see you soon! Patti

Hey sweetie :)   I know I have been MIA for quite a while now!  I just had my one year too...and I think we are in the same boat!   While my surgeon does not set a goal weight, I set my own of 180.  I missed it at one year.   And like you, I stalled out big time...I've only lost about 7lbs in the last three months!    I do not dump, and I've let my sugar habits creep back in.    I lagged in exercise, but I still try to work out!   I worry about regain and never getting down to where I want.    Thankfully my surgeon is still very proud of what I've accomplished, and I'm so sorry yours is not!   I just wanted to say that I'm SOOO proud of you...please don't let it get you down!   You can do it...it will definitely be harder for us this far out, but that doesn't mean it's over!  :)    (((HUGS))) Patti...keep the faith and keep on truckin'!!

Welcome back, you look great! Thanks so much for writting, it it so helpful when I do not feel like I am alone in my thoughts and what I have been going through. I have to get that d**n water in and stay away from the cookie jar! Thanks so much! Patti

Dr Bour did say he was proud of me, I don't wanna give him a bad rap, I see where he is coming from, he said he just wanted me to understand his concerns because he has seen it go bad.

patti im so sorry. :( im sure it made it worse since i called u that day and told u how my appt went.. i think i would rather be in your shoes at this point than mine.. i had the doc tell me to quit losing weight or i would look SICK in another 15 lbs.. which is SCARY to me. i dont want to look sick. and you look beautiful now.. SO PRETTY !!!! Your body to me looks great and "NORMAL" you do not look overweight to me at all.. i think youre very proportioned and if you did not lose another lb you should be so freaking proud of yourself patti.. dont make me pull out the pictures of us from surgery day!!! You LOOK GREAT! I know you will lose the weight.. you are an awesome girl and im lucky to have met you.. and im sorry if i made it worse friday. it was not intentional! Love you
