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...

Week 28 and 29 Weigh In -

I didn't get a chance to post

last weeks Weigh In.

So here it is below:

Week 28 - down .4lbs. Ugh.

Week 29 - down 2.8 lbs

On Saturday I was down 3.2 lbs, 

but on Sunday (Weigh Day) the scale

had gone up a little. 

I am SO CLOSE to 

ONEderland!!!!

Woohoo!! 

I don't think I'll meet my 

August 1st goal of being

below 200.....

But I'll be VERY close!!!!

Week13 Weigh In -

This week I lost 1.5 pounds.

That brings my total weight loss so far to 39 pounds.

39!

Soooo close to 40! 

Week 11 Weigh In -

Week 11 Weigh In was NOT great.

I didn't get much exercise in 

(mainly from being sick)

AND I started my Period.

I only lost half a pound.  

But.....

A .5lb loss is STILL a loss.

So I can't be TOO terribly upset.

I am hoping to do better this week.

Week 9 Weigh In -

I wasn't expecting much of a Weight Loss this week.....

And I didn't get it.

I was sick all week....

so I didn't get in ANY exercise.

None. 

But luckily, just by staying on plan with my eating

I still lost 1.5 pounds.

That brings my total loss so far to 30 pounds.
