Why Gastric Bypass

The decision to have Gastric Bypass wasn’t an easy one.

Years ago when I first considered Weight Loss Surgery,

I didn’t even want to consider Gastric Bypass, 

it was too invasive, too drastic.

I went to a Lap Band Seminar, 

and the doctor that hosted the seminar

(and ultimately performed my Lap Band procedure)

basically bashed the Gastric Bypass, 

pointing out all the negatives.

And at that time, it was not done by laparoscopy.

You were cut wide open to perform the operation.

And I admit, I didn’t take the time to research

 the procedure on my own.

After sitting through the lap band seminar

 and hearing how GREAT and SUCCESSFUL the Lap Band was, 

 It was a done deal.

But obviously, the procedure didn’t work for me...

Daily Inspiration -

I am SORE today from my

workout yesterday....

and I guarantee I will

be even more sore tomorrow

since I worked out again today.

I did the same workout that

I posted yesterday. 

Although it hurts to walk,

go down the stairs, or even

sit on the toilet.

It is a good pain....

Because I know that

means what I am doing

is working.

And THAT makes it

WORTH IT!

You can see the workout HERE 

that I posted yesterday

and try it for yourself. :)

It Hurts When You Fall.....

I was doing so good

for a while,

I was cooking and baking

and NOT sampling.

I avoided temptation,

and kept my focused and determined.

And then I fell off the 

Diet Wagon.

Hard.

Daily Inspiration...... Will Power.

So, SO True.....

Last night at 3:00am

I got up while the kids
were all sleeping
and made some
White Chocolate 

Covered Oreo Cookies,

and White Chocolate 

covered Pretzels to give

to the kids as Christmas gifts...

It was SO tempting to snag one... 

or two.

Just to make sure it tasted

o.k., of course ;)

Weigh In - Round 2 Week 2

I lost 3.2 lbs this week.

Woohoo!!

I'm not sure how this coming

week's weigh in will turn out...

I haven't decided if I will

stay completely on plan on

Christmas Day or not...

IF I do go off plan for the day

it will ONLY be for that 1 day.

I just can't let that 1 day

turn into 1 week.....

Mom said they are telling their

Medifast patients the same thing...

Basically, enjoy your Holiday, if 

you decide to eat Christmas Dinner 

with your family, don't beat 

yourself up over it, just 

get right back on plan the 

next day.

Daily Inspiration - A CHALLENGE

I'm re-writing my story...... 

Are you?

Slowing Down.....

My Weight Loss has started

to slow down..... which

I knew would happen.

But I still should come 

out this week with a 

pretty decent weight loss.  

 

Slowly but surely........

The best way to do it

I suppose. 

At least, that is

what I have been told. ;)

6 Months From Now....

I must remember this during

this Christmas Season as

I am baking Santa's Cookies...

Weigh In - Round 2 Week 1

I did not get the big numbers 

I was hoping for.

I ended week 1 with a 7.2 lb loss.

I'll Take That!!

I may not have hit 12 or 15 pounds

but I still had a good loss.

I'm happy with that.

I had heard you do not see

the 12 & 15 pound losses 

like you do your first week

on Round 1 of Medifast,

so I was half expecting it.

The thing for me to remember

is not to get wrapped up in 

the numbers, but to remember

that regardless of what the final 

number is at the end of the week

the IMPORTANT thing to keep in 

mind is that the numbers are

going (and STILL going)

DOWN!!!
