Your email gives me hope......hope for when I do have the surgery (still waiting for insurance), that I too will feel as you are feeling now......on top of the world!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 WAY TO GO J'NET. Keep up the good work. Ramona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hello Everyone, I read all the post everyday for almost a year now and I've really enjoyed hearing everyones story. I just wanted to give a little update on me. I had WLS on Feb 19 in San Diego with Dr. Zorn. At the beginning of Feb I was still 310 and I needed to be 295 for surgery. I think I was trying to sabatoge myself, knowing that this is what I wanted the most and so afraid that it was not going to happen. When I weighed in the day before surgery I was 286. After eight weeks of surgery I was 245 and so very happy. The surgeon was pleased with my results. For the next 8 weeks after that I lost nothing, I mean not a pound! But I continued to eat as I should (no snacking), and I went to the gym everyday and pushed myself everyday. But I was so discouraged, I thought this really is not going to happen, I'm a failure. So I went to see a surgeon on June 22 in Sacramento, he was not upset at my progress and was very encouraging. He said that I was buring lots of fat, my clothes in those 8 weeks had changed almost 3 sizes (strange I think). He said just do what I've been doing and for me not to get so frustrated. I felt a lot better just knowing that he was not worried that something was not working right. He even said I was very healthy which felt wonderful to have a doctor say to me. In all the posts that I have read I have not seen any where people did not lose so early in the game. That is why I wanted to share this. So it has been two weeks since I've seen the surgeor and I have lost about 23 lbs. I'm just so happy that it is working. Today I was 220! What I have learned is that what is important is to do the right things even if we don't see the results right away, our bodies need time to adjust. Thanks for letting me share!!! You are all so wonderful! J'net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Thanks for sharing that point J'net. You experience helps us to remember that our results are often not instant, but that over time, with good efforts, our hard work will pay off. The self-sabatoge demon is a difficult one to deal with. I'm glad where here for each other to talk about it so that we can recognize it and confront it. Continued success to you, Gemello -138 lbs > Hello Everyone, > > I read all the post everyday for almost a year now and I've really > enjoyed hearing everyones story.
