Thank you all for your honesty



Recommended Posts

Ok so my 1 year is in 2 weeks and I am 30 pounds from my goal and somehow I am ok with that. I am so thankful to each of you for your honesty as it tells me that I am still successful. I am also thrilled that I see many of you from other forums and your name's are familiar to me. I have not lost anything in the last 2 months and again I am ok with that. I am going to try the 5:2 method and keep sticking to my guns. I have found that reading these posts help me and actually I haven't read any in two months and haven't lost any weight so I believe that reading this forum daily helps me more than I knew. HONESTY is going to be my key to success and i hope to stay honest with myself to lose 30 more and maintain. It actually feels great not losing as I haven't gained either so maybe this is a final stand via a long plateau. I am so happy to be a part of this community.

Thanks Jenn1 I do feel like a success and will strive to continue my journey as I walk into year 2 of a great decision. I feel hopeful that in year 2 I will lose the last 30 and be at goal. ????

You are a success!!!! Congratulations!!!! In the past year (since reaching my first goal that I randomly set), I felt like the losing was slow going. But I just reached my "dream goal" and I looked back over the last year and was surprised to see I had lost an additional 19 pounds and 22 inches!!! So even when it feels like it has completely slowed, stick with it. I think you'll be surprised at your results. :-)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
