Topic: RE: Staying Motivated

That is why it is so important to journal.  To be able to look back on all the positives that did happen over the weeks/months.  Then you can gain strength from all the good things that did happen.  Doesn't matter how small it was.

But honestly, what I have noticed very often is that once you fail it's very difficult to get back on track again. The motivation itself just gets lost.

Topic: Staying Motivated

“You try to stay motivated, but real life seems to drag you down. Heres how to fly above its reach.”

To stay positive and on track, you need to appreciate your achievements and refresh your perspective regularly. At the end of the day, write down all the positives of your day. Even if you’d deem it a -bad day- overall, don’t allow yourself to go there. Find the bright spot even if it’s something seemingly small. Focus only on the positives and write them down. You’re likely to find more than you imagined. As time goes on, you’ll start to make mental notes through the course of the day when something positive happens (so you can write it down later), which further boosts your positive outlook. Engaging in positive thoughts will improve your mental well-being, energize your soul, build your confidence, and increase your happiness factor.

Topic: RE: Removing Band & Getting MGB!

Woah...... I don't think you can return that early. Recovery from any weight loss surgery takes longer than that.

Wow......so you mean you've had no weight regain whatsoever? I don't know but approximately after how long does the weight come back or "may" come back? I'm happy for you.Seems like you're doing very very well. Keep it up

Hi - I actually did RNY 5 months ago and clicked on the wrong forum - but glad i did as I thought this was a great post-I am going to print it out and keep it on my bulletin board in my offie, so in case down the road, hopefully few and far between, those days when I need it, I can reread this!

Topic: RE: advice please: mgb or not?

Yep...... I think the MGB is a better option too. However PostOp its generally the same procedures and life style you have to follow.

Topic: RE: What do you wish someone had told you?

Talk to your doctor, write it down everytime you have a doubt. Research, research and more research. I think that's the best advice you can get. However, I thought the gastric bypass was only for the extremely obese and was the last option as a surgery. Is that true or have I heard wrong?

Topic: How to pick the right role model

“You focus on images of others to motivate you. Heres how to pick the right role model. ”

Besides your usual workout think of ways that you can add a little more fitness into your week. Some activities might not only help you shed pounds, but can also save you money and help the environment. Can you drive a bit less and walk or ride your bike to work, the store, or to an appointment one day a week? Shutting off entertainment electronics at home and doing something active can be a perk. Be creative when approaching your workout to added all the value you can to yourself and your world.
