Hi Friends. I had RNY surgery in December of 2015. I am really bummed. On Monday, I got reestablished with a bariatric office and nutritionist. When I started my weight loss journey I was 298. My lowest was 202. I've been under a lot of stress this past year and slowly gained weight. I am at 223. When I expressed my concern with the office and told them what my goal weight was and always has been. I was told that I would never be able to get to that weight. I just need the support and encouragement from someone. I would love to get to 170. I do not think 170 is unrealistic at all. Am I wrong? any tips would be greatly appreciated and accepted. Thanks, Ellen

When I first had surgery, my goal weight was 168. That was decided by the surgeon and the nutritionist. We have a whole new crew at the office now. The physician that I saw said that "sometimes bodies have a comfort zone. My body may be happy at 200." Don't get me wrong. I liked being around the 200 mark. I just think I could do better. At 200, I was a size 10 jean. I started in 24. I just feel like with there advice, I am settling and this is the new norm.

You can do it too! I think I just needed to talk out my frustrations. Im feeling better about it today. My surgeon had to relocate. I think that was also a realization that I had to face. He was great at encouraging us to try to reach our goal, but also become more active.

That is what I did this week. After typing my true feelings out. I set some small victories to look forward to. I have a 5 lb weight loss goal and so on. Thank you for the encouragement!
