Guest guest Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 no--not poor losers club ..just wondering if there were a list for slow losers. There are some of us who have been warned ahead of time (or who are real-life experiencing) slow losing. Seems like an opportunity for another list!!!!! Seriously, my surgeon mentioned that I might expect to lose " more slowly than others do " (what a way to set me up per surgery..plan for failure). This is because I am doing WLS primarily for co=morbs. I have a BMI of 37 and expect, when I go back to the office it will be lower as she has put me on a pre surgery diet. I have already been in a weight loss program, 2 years before contemplating surgery, losing 24 lbs in the 2 years (but I DO YO=YO weight gain and loss, another reason for the surgery). This, along with having >>>only<<<(how can anyone say only!) 85-95 lbs to lose can set me up for slow loss. Actually, I think I can deal with it ok, I thought a pound a month was pretty good elle in oregon (plantcrone)/// pre-op Lap/DS, Dr. Emma BMI 37, 255#, 5'9 " , 58 Y0, hypertension, insulin using type ll diabetes, high cholesterol and chronic back pain - vegetarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
