also change your diet, try new things that you dont eat, change your drinking habits also drinking allot of water will help and the most important, plateaus are norm but they last some time so don't get frustrated if nothing happened after couple of weeks it might take some time according to where are you in the program WLS program.

Daily Inspiration for September 5, 2010
Take your time; Rome wasn't built in a day.
So, have you reached your goal weight yet? Are you well into your successful maintenance period? Of course, you've resolved all of your emotional issues and are now a phenomenally healthy model of happy, successful living, right? Well, don't despair; as they say, Rome wasn't built in a day. Nothing worth accomplishing can be achieved overnight. If it could, it wouldn't be much of an accomplishment, right?
Patience is a difficult virtue to cultivate, especially in this fast-paced society that extols overnight success. Even a year or more after your surgery, you may not be exactly where you want to be. But that's okay. Your life is not meant to be rushed. It's a slowly-unfolding story. Savor it and know that you are doing your best to make sure that the next chapter holds even more promise.
Action for the day: Reflect on all that you have accomplished so far, both the momentous and the "small." Meditate on what your next chapter will hold.

I just wanted to share my post surgery summer experiences w/everyone. I also want to hear about yours. I had the best summer that I have had in a long time. Need to share!
1- Trip to New orleans July 4th weekend. Essence music festival, had a blast. NSV, compliments from younger men. I even went to the gym, tip for singles (the cuties hang out @gym) who knew pre-surgery lol.
2- Barbecues pre-surgery 0 post surgery 3. I even won a raffle gift from one of them.
3- Summer evening out in Manhattan w/friends pre-surgery 0 post-surgery 3. I initiated the outings. Had good times.
4- I wore summer dresses that I could not fit into for the last 8 years. (wow)
5- I received more compliments this summer about how good I look that I could handle.( but loving it)
I can go on and on, not @ goal yet but enjoying the journey and loving it. How was you post-surgery summer, please share

Sweet Melissa ,
This is a time of uncertainity for you for sure . Remember Melissa .. you are saving your life here .
It is scary .. challeging .... and so many other emotions . But after 6 years of doing this .. and maintaining for this long , if I can do it ANYONE CAN DO IT ...
I want you to ask yourself how bad you want this ? Do you love yourself enough to give it a gift of life ? I know these are hard questions but these are ones that maybe you have not thought of .
I feel in my heart you know what you want to do and have every feeling you are going to be a great success . You need to look in the mirror and know that that person looking back at you, loves you . Go love her back .
My bm was way over 60 ... I am 5.7 when I started I weighed 359 pounds .... today I weigh 125... and have kept it off. Take a look at our before and after picutres here ...
If you need me I am here for you .. I am also a Bariatric Life Coach and would be glad to work with you one on one .
Love and respect ,
Natalie
