I didn't cancel but I have postponed even seeing a weight loss surgeon several times.
I came very close to cancelling but I am really glad that I did not!
The only way I lose weight now is by eating less and exercising more. I am currently 9 pounds over my goal and hope to lose that by Memorial Day. I count calories and need 10 calories per day for each pound I want to maintain. To lose I subtract 500 per day and drop one pound a week. The side effects on that drug would scare me to death. I would rather count calories.
A pound a week seems slow but it is 52 pounds in a year.

It is with a heavy heart that we share this news, but Slimpressions will be closing and is liquidating everything. Everything in stock is currently 50% off when you use the code SAVE50 at checkout out.
You can find some great compression garments from this business if you are pre-op, I would suggest taking advantage of this now. Many post-op patients, including OH staff, love these. They are also great for individuals with lipedema.

I thank you for your response. I eat according to the post surgery bariatric program I am on. I am a walker. And I drink my water and take the necessary supplements. Some nuts are just harder to crack. It is unusual but it happens. This is why I'm considering Ozempic.

I had surgery 4 years ago and have stalled. My surgeon suggested I contact the Bariatric Dr who is the head of the program. First he had me on Optifast for 5 months. I lost some more but was miserable and became anemic. A few months or proper food and vitamins have me back in good health but I still have about 40 lbs to go. The Bariatric Dr has prescribed Ozempic. I haven't started it yet. Any thoughts?
what does a days menu look like? How many calories a day are you getting. I don't have any thoughts on that medicine but wonder about your I take?
Most of the people whose lives could be immensely improved by weight loss surgery never get it. Lack of insurance, fear, and a world where many believe that you are taking the easy way out prevent people from taking the one step that will give them their best shot at a slim body and healthy life. You can continue to try other ways to get healthy. Your chances of succeeding without the surgery are about 3%.
Having the surgery raises your chances of success to about 50%. If you have the surgery and follow the diet and exercise plan you can lose the excess weight for life. Many people do well for about two years and then go back to overeating and under exercising.
They end up with regain. Probably half lose 100 pounds and regain 50. Some regain 100 or more pounds. For the first two years it can be a walk in the park, but after that it requires you to stick to the diet and exercise program to have continued success.
