Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 HI I hope everyone is well. Today is my fifth yr. since surgery since no one in my family cares I thought that this family would like to know that I have maintained my weight loss pretty darn good. Thankyou everyone for all the posts that I read daily I have really learned some things from this list that my surgeon does not know or he doesn't care to learn. I had a visit with him last week and asked him about getting a bone scan done and he said you can but what good would it do you, if you have problems then there is nothing to be done about it. He knows how to do the surgery but other than that well lets just say I am really disgusted. Please everyone keep the info coming.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 Cheryl, Congratulations on a BMI of 23.8 after 5 years. You are a success and some one to be admired. Would you post those things that you are doing which you feel have contributed significantly to your success. Good luck Sue > HI I hope everyone is well.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 Cheryl My first thought when I read your post was how important it is for you to remember who you lost the weight for and what it has done for YOUR life. It shouldn't really matter what anyone else thinks - you made life better for YOU. If you have managed tomaintain your weight for 5 yrs then give yourself a pat on the back and take a trip down memory lane and remember what it was like being heavy and then maybe it can help youput things back into perspective. As for the doctor saying you didn't need a bone scan - he obviously doesn't believe in preventive medicine and I would start hunting for a new doctor. He needs to take care of you- he is your personal physician and he should be the one you can trusy bout your health. As for the family being complacent - think about the 5 yrs of freedom you have enjoyed - freedom from the jail cell being fat builds around us and then thank yourself for keeping it off. Find satisfaction in your spirit for a job well done. Love Janelle crzytaylor@... wrote: HI I hope everyone is well.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Sue, and everyone else, I am sorry for my post yesterday that sounded like a pity party. I am very happy with what I have accomplished, and I do have my familles support I guess I just wanted to whine, since my surgery I just do not care about food like I did five yrs ago I couldn't wait to get my hands on two whoppers with extra cheese now I cant remember when I last had a hamburger. I eat very little now and have so much energy that I never sit still for long. I just started doing protein sups so I will have to see if they have any effect on me. I take the vits that have been recommend here but I am in no means an example to follow I make mistakes, I have sugar everyday in my coffee, I drink regular coke when I want a soft drink which is not very often. I guess what I am trying to say is I just take it one day at a time if I fail one day I start over again trying to do it right the next day.
