What do we know about us?



Recommended Posts

IMG_4948.JPGWhat

We know what living obese is like.

We know the lost opportunities of obesity.

We know the rush of gluttony ... of sugar racing thru the veins of finally feeling full.

We know fat prejudice.

We know the health challenges.

What we forget:

The courage it takes to make a change.

The power of self love to commit to body altering surgery

The commitment. To this new life...

We’ve been fat longer. We’ve eaten badly longer. We’ve eaten our emotions longer. We are naturally better at obesity then at being post surgery. It’s easy, comfortable even to fall back into familiar stinking thinking and food.< /p>

What are you doing for your new way of life that supports staying on track? How are you retraining your mind?

Be mindful of the favorite foods that helped to keep you fat. They will sing their siren song and woo you back if you do not change your thinking.

Is there a revision surgery in your future? Is food going to win....again?

I’m wishing everyone a safe and wonderful Christmas where the food gremlins don’t pull you back into their seductive arms. Be vigilant. Be courageous. Be full of self love and stay the course!

Thank you.

Your thoughtful post is full of truisms.

Well said.

And may your festive season be similarly safe and happy. May 2018 be a year of consolidation of your new lifestyle.

      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
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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! 😞
