I think almost 100 lbs should have made a bigger difference. I guess when you start at near 400, The percentage is lesser. So Maybe I expect too much. Funny thing is I can't wear clothes I could when I lost down to 299 post RNY. And My belly from the waist up has always been firmer and not as poochy and since surgery, I notice it is way flabbier and saggier, maybe due to yet another abdominal incision and affecting the muscle tone. I will be so glad when I con get some of this skin gone. I'm sorry about all this griping! I know my plateau broke, and I felt really good about that until I realized it was only 3 lbs in 6 weeks.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 we just have to keep focusing on the POSTIVE for the surgery brought so much good. But I wanted to offer some empathy. I have lost 73 pounds and am down to 282. I seem to have stalled yet again. I planned to wear a dress to a wedding next week that I wore pre surgery at about 305 pounds. I expected it to fit BETTER what I discovered is it doesn't fit at all My weight seems to have redistributed in ways I sure would not have directed it to. I have had a pretty depressed and discouarged few days over this and it isn't helping that my weight loss has stalled again. sigh. I am looking forward to both of us hitting that 100 pound mark. That is a milestone no matter what! Hugs of support! in Tacoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop beating up on yourself -- YOU ARE DOING FINE! And 3 pounds is a great loss after a plateau! Hugs and blessings, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Reflections....."Who am I today?" I ask..And I wonder if I even know.I know the past has shaped me now,Even though the past was long ago.The little moments form a blur,The times both happy and sad,All the people I once knew,And the things I used to have.They all helped me to becomeWhere, what and who I am now,Because everything has influenced me,I'm not sure exactly how.But I'm thankful for the memories,Even of the people I've never really met,For the people I miss, the people I love,And even the people I'd like to forget.For these memories have helped me grow,They've made me calm, yet strong,And now there's a story to my life,That they've been writing all along.So, thank you for the memories.Without them, I don't know who I'd be -Because somewhere among these memoriesAre the things that define me.~*~ Namaste ~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
