One year down
Apr 23, 2011
Had my one year anniversary this week and I feel great. A little disappointed at the slow weight loss but
thrilled with the low blood pressure and cholesterol. I am down 62lbs on a good day
and 59 on a not so good
day
I feel I have to diet now which is depressing but I really really want to complete this journey so I will do whatever is necessary
Congratulations to all you losers out there keep it up

Mystery
Aug 04, 2010
I seem to experience a definate pattern of wt loss. Several days of no loss-then a 2-4lb loss overnight followed
by a 1-2lb gain the next day regardless of what I eat. Does anyone else experience this. It is really frustrating to
see the gain after a nice loss. Yesterday I was 200lb and I was excited to get below 200. I ate 650 calories of
shakes and good food, went to the gym and did a good cardio workout. Low and behold today I am 201
The wonder of weight loss. Any advice????

Support meeting
Jun 11, 2010
Went to my group meeting last night at Overlake. Great group of people in all stages of wt loss from thinking about it to several years out. I love hearing the stories and always come away feeling good. 
If you are in this area you should come sometime. I have made a friend on line and she and I talk on line and meet at the mall which is great. We have different Dr's but the same hospital so it is interesting to compare notes. Also we are close in surgery dates and weight loss, both complaining it is too slow
Had a craving for pot roast so I made one and portioned it out into several containers and froze them. had one tonight and low and behold I kept it down
I think I've finally mastered the eat slow routine. Also had a few grapes and that helps with the no drink with meals.. Off to read my Beck Diet Solutions now. Have a good weekend everyone

NEW ATTITUDE
Jun 06, 2010
Thank you all so much for all your positive feedback. You are all great
I am feeling better about my wt. mainly because my workouts are getting to be so uplifting. I have energy to keep going for an hour of cardio, up from 30mins.
In addition I am up to 40-45mins of weights/resistance training. Very exciting for me. I am hopeful that the next 10lbs will make a difference with clothes also.
This is a new lifestyle and it takes getting used to. No more dieting then not dieting, there is no need to diet with my new pouch. Beck Diet Solutions is very helpful as it deals with mind over matter. It is not a diet/food book.
Thank you all again and please keep your blogs and comments coming I love them

I need help, I am very disappointed with the slow wt loss and very depressed. Any suggestions?
My fear is, based on my research wt loss is quite fast the first couple of months then it slows down.
Well If mine is slow to start what will happen when it slows down:))

Change my attitude

I must not fixate on the scale. My wt loss is so slow it is tooooo discouraging. I have to change my attitude.
Now I am going to concentrate on my health improvements.
My Blood pressure is way down and I am off one of three meds so this is great news.

Is it always so slow?
May 16, 2010
I had my surgery April 21st and While I did not expect overnight weight loss, I thought it would be a little quicker.Everything I read and researched said around 30lbs the first month then it would slow down. I have 3days to go to my 4week date and I am at 19lbs. Am I unrealistic????
I feel great, have not had any dumping but some foods get stuck, chicken breast, fish.
I go to a support group twice a month run by Overlake Hospital in Bellevue WA and it is wonderful Christine is the manager
of the Bariatric Weight Loss department for Overlake and she is super. Everyone is so supportive and positive it is a very
uplifting group
This is my first Blog so hopefully someone will read it and respond
Good luck to you all
