looking at how far you have to go is a def downer --so dont do it

( i think that way sometimes)

focus on your sucess here and now

coming into this weight loss world, we all knew it wasnt going to gone in 2 weeks

you lost 75 so far. i think that is a huge success

my advice is this, remember where you came from (weight wise when you started)

to me, that says excellent job so far and absolutely not a reason to think its not good enough

that is negative thinking and i wont allow you to think that way :)

just because you (have a way to go before you at goal) should not make you depressed now

that is just a waste of your time and energy and you deserve to treat yourself better

you my dear are inspiring me to keep going.

I want to backup my good friend CG, she's right as always.

As long as that scale is going down is all that matters!

I was feeling the same way, but started thinking I didn't gain it all in one day and I am not going to lose it all in one day. Stay encouraged, we will get through this!! CONGRATS ON THE 75LBS!

Go to the grocery store and pick up 8 - 10lb bags of sugar and walk around the place a bit (or walk around with a 9yr old boy on your back for the day.)..............bet you would have a hard time..............puts it into perspective a bit, you have done an awesome job. Keep up the good work.

Set small goals. My current goal is to get to 199. As soon as I reach that it will switch to a BMI that is no longer obese. I 'only' had 100 lbs to lose, but if that were my goal it would seem insurmountable. I am now within 8 pounds of goal #1, then only 26 lbs to the next goal, after that I'll start to focus on my final goal. You are doing absolutely fantastic! Keep up the great work!

I'm sorry you're feeling down. Your weight loss so far is an amazing achievement!!! When I used to think about how much I had to loose I'd get so down about it. I'm not looking at the huge amount, I am working with small goals (10 kilos at a time) once that 10 kilos is out the way I concentrate on the next 10 kilos.

Hope your feeling better by now and keep up the great work!

We all have discouraging moments. That's normal. Just keep in mind that you are 75lbs better today than not doing anything at all! It'll keep coming off and you'll be so happy! Keep posting and know that we're all cheering you on!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
