Another Gastric Bypass Friend has gained back 15 lbs!!!

I have two close friends who both had the Bypass surgery around 6-7 years ago. This was the same time I WAS considering it too.

 

They lost very quickly and stayed down for around two to three years. Both of them had vitamin defeciencies and health problems. I KNEW I did not want that! I watched one of them very closely, she and I are like sisters although we live about 130 miles apart.

 

She and I now wear the same size clothes! She is afraid that I will out lose her now cause she is gaining! Why? I did hear from someone or read it somewhere, that they will gain around 15 or so lbs back?!

 

She still looks awesome I might add! I still have around 20 something lbs I want to lose and hope to do it within this coming year. Started writing my foods down again daily. And I am getting started back with my exercise routine too so I am working hard for that last 20! Then I can get my Tummy Tuck and Boob Job!!!! Not too bad right now, so my hubby is balking on those extra surgerys but I will win this battle!!LOL This is for ME!!!!!!

 

Of course I will accept the Lord's Guidance in all these matters and we will see.

 

"The Lord says, "I will make you wise and show you where to go. I will guide you and watch over you." Psalm 32:8 NCV

 

God, I look to you for direction and counsel as I make important decisions in my life. Give me a listening ear to hear your voice and a heart that is quick to obey.

Amen.

 

Hope you all are staying the course, keeping a journal and encouraging others along the way. :bored:

I have quite a few friends who have had GB, and some have gained a whole lot back and some have gained a little back. It really was a wake up call that no bariatric surgery is the final correct answer! thanks for the encouraging words of prayer:)
