Attitude... Your secret weapon!



Recommended Posts

Probably the best advice I can give a pre-opper is that in addition to WLS, your attitude will ensure a successful journey.

Moaning and groaning about head hunger, "stalls", working out, etc will only cloud your ability to fully appreciate this "gift" of modern day medicine to those of us struggling with obesity.

I will say, without a doubt, my attitude has been my biggest secret weapon throughout this amazing journey.

Is this easy? No. Am I always feeling fantastic? No. Are there times I wish I could turn to copious amounts of mexican food to drown my sorrows or express my happiness or just because I'm bored? Hell yes!

I make a conscientious decision, minute-by-minute to make this journey the amazing thing I had hoped it to be.

Don't ever hesitate to reach out to me if you need a pep-talk! We are all in this together!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
