Guest guest Posted June 23, 2000 Report Share Posted June 23, 2000 Dear Joanne and Aimee Welcome to the group.. Sometimes posts get missed in the Digest. We all started where you are now. First lurking on to the list and then getting the courage to write and thats where it all starts. It is a wonderful list with very special people who understand your pain and frustration with weight. There is no sign in the world that means you should not have the surgery. You must believe that this is the most important decision you will probably make in a very long time. We are all here to listen and help! Keep writing we will answer. Luv. Susie G MGB 7.12 ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 Hi All, This is only my second time posting....I read almost all the posts. I am wondering how many of us here that are (or were) considered severely mordbidly obese before surgery. I am 15 months out from surgery and stopped losing weight almost three months ago. I am discouraged. I have developed a few bad eating habits ....but nothing like before. I am trying hard to concentrate on proteins and nothing else. I am so afraid that my " opportunity to lose " has passed me by. I started at 480+ and am now down anywhere from 297 to 304...I keep hovering unwaverlying....do any of you have any suggestions? I am open minded ....please feel to email me. I need help and guidance from someone how has been there and is successful. Ferris __ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 : From what I hear, the " window " concept is just a statistical observation and not a rule. If you're on a support list like this, you're already different than many people who are not very educated about their surgeries and get no support. You mentioned protein. I supplement with protein shakes, but my doctor and I personally feel that for physical fullness, bulky animal protein and other bulky foods that don't dissolve in a glass of water will help you keep a physical full feeling longer. The shakes help curb the nutritional hunger, but a piece of fried chicken will stuff the pouch and keep it that way for a while. Also, I drink up until the time I eat, which some consider bad form, but I absolutely refrain from water for as long as possible after eating.
