Re: Okay I am going to whine

[Guest guest]

I know I have kept a stiff upper lip and a smile on my face about how slow I

am losing but I am just having a bad day.....I went on a site for wls (not the

mgb) and looked at before and after pictures and everyone lost so much more

weight than me at the same time, 7 1/2 months. I don't know any mgb person

who has lost this slow. Why me????? I have not lost any weight in almost 3

weeks and this happens every month and then I will lose 3-4 lbs. I want to be

thin. Why am I losing so slow???? Okay I got that out of my system, sorry God

and Dr. Hargroder and Dr. Wiltshire. Thank you for the 58 lbs I have lost so

far. Thank you for the increase energy I have. Thank you that I wear a size

16/18 and not 26/28. Oh yea and thank you God and Doctors for the weight I

know I am going to lose in the future.

Donna,

Give me a call and I will give you some suggestions that may help. Are

you taking your measurements? This is every important. While you may

not be losing weight, your body is reshaping and inches are being lost.

Donna, I admire your wisdom regarding the " slow " loss you have experienced.

Although my loss has been fairly average for the period right after a MGB, I

of course have seen others post about tremendous losses that are far higher

than mine. When I look at the stats, it is usually men, who seem to

magically melt weight faster than we poor women, or it's someone who has

more to lose than I. At any rate, I have to remind myself that it will take

a LONG time to get to my desired weight -- I want it gone overnight!

Maybe the slow loss will prevent you from having the extra skin, etc, that

has forced others to have plastic surgery. Are you lifting weights and/or

exercising? I'm getting ready to start back up on that stuff in hopes of

combatting future " batwings " !

Your posts are always helpful and inspirational -- keep 'em coming!
