Re: Weight loss rate and French men issues...

July 17, 2005

Alright you two, do I have to drive up there and swat you? First of all,

no it is NOT a race! Did you really have the surgery just to lose

weight, or did you do so to get healthy, and live a better life? What

difference does it really make if you lose the weight in six months, or

a year?

Now then, the two of you are at right about the right period of time for

Hibernation Syndrome. I have just uploaded a file about it. Yes, it's a

pain in the @$$, and it can be even worse when some surgeons don't

believe in it. There seems to be an attitude that if you aren't losing

weight, you're doing something wrong. Well, sometimes it's true, but

sometimes it's not! We did NOT gain the weight at a steady rate, and it

is unrealistic to expect to lose it at a steady rate. Relax, do what you

should, make sure your body is getting lots of good nutrition, and did I

say RELAX already?!?

I know it can be hard. I was there myself about two years ago. Do what

you should, give your body time to figure out what's going on, and

you'll be fine!
