Re: Ugh! Plateaus!

Sorry about your cat. Know that is hard.

The scale is not your friend. I gave up that frequent weighing early

on and have great peace of mind. I'm 8 months post op and weigh only

once a month on the anniversary of my surgery. There is always a

loss and I'm happy. Were I to weight daily or weekly I'd probably be

fuming and fussing about my weight.

I think sometime we obsess on weight. If the surgery is working, the

weight will come off whether you weigh or not. And you may eat

better if you are out of the diet mentality. If the surgery has been

messed up or you will fail at it, this will also be revealed in

time. You don't need weekly weighing to find this out.

I know how you feel Kathy about putting your cat to sleep. It's devastating

when you have to go through that. I'm so sorry. Just think, your cat is out

of pain now. The scales will move soon, it's just a plateau...this is normal

from what i hear (I'm just a preop) ...just hang in there sweetie, things

will get better. Said a prayer for you today, luv Doreen

Dear Kathy M: I wanted to add my condolences on the

loss of your kitty. Cats have always been my favorite

pets and I have 3 now. Each is special with their own

personality. Maybe you should go adopt another one in

need of a good home. There are so many out there in

need of your love. Hugs and best wishes.
