Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 One week from today I fly to Mexico for my RNY. My family is all asking me what's going to prevent me from gaining all the weight I lose back. I don't have an answer for them that they believe with my lifetime history of lose and gain back more, lose and gain back more. Please help me! I'm doubting my capabilities tonight.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hi , I am Norma and I am just getting my intro together to send. but I wanted you know, that there is no guarantee that you will not gain back some of the weight. You must remember that this is a tool and not a cure all. It takes lots of determination on our part and lots of prayers and love from others. I gained back 40 pounds but also I want to tell you, you will know how to get the weight off from the start. Losing that weight is the easiest thing to do for me now. because I know how to do it. I lost 112 pounds and never reached my goal weight before I gained back the 40. However my down fall was coke. I love coke and when I started back on pop I just about killed my self. Just follow the rules and you will be fine. best thing I ever did. Norma/Ohio Proud Army Mom of Sgt. P. Adopted Soldier: Proud Army Mom of Sgt.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hi , I know for me I felt like I was going to be the one that this was not going to work for. I am finding that it is up to me if that happens. The changes that you make are going to have to be perminant. You will have to forever eat healthy, exercise, take vitamins, and drink all that water. Say no to yourself A LOT! You have to be dedicated and remember you are going to fall off here and there, what matters is how fast your get back up. You can do it, we all are a testimony of that. For those of us who have had the surgery understand how you are feeling right now. It will also help if your family and friends support you throughout this. Sometimes when I go out to lunch with my sister, she never puts me in a position to not have a good menu to order from in a resturant. Our place of choice is usually Penera Bread for their soup. Then she watches me and when she sees that I am about to the point of full, she reminds me. I love her so much for that because the first time we went out, we were talking away and I was not paying attention to my food and the next thing you know, my soup was gone and I was sick full. To have her support me in this after all I have done, I couldn't be more grateful to have her. You need a great support system and not to take it personal when they remind you of stuff. Every little thing that will help you stay on track, let it. You will be glad they did. madixintexas wrote: One week from today I fly to Mexico for my RNY.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 , Wow this is probably the ultimate question. I'm not sure I could answer this question if/when my folks/kids ask me this question. I guess my quick answer would be, " YOU are going to keep me from gaining the weight back, I need YOUR help! " Maybe that's too short on logic and details and more emotion filled but really it's full of truth. I know I depend on my kids to a great extent and my parents to a lesser extent to fuel my efforts. My kids are great in that they try all the crazy food I make now and really get into some of the healthy stuff I'm eating and doing. My parents encourage me out one side of their mouths while shoving coffee cake and cookies into the other side of their mouths. My mother is now getting harassed from her PCP to go to medical weight loss for a diet because she's almost 65 and very obese. I suggest investigating surgery but she doesn't want to have another surgery in her life. I suggest she might want to consider it if she wants to have a life period but encourage her to at least go to some sort of medical diet stuff. But what am I doing? I'm changing gradually and slowly so that I develop life long habits instead of something that I'm going to start quick, quit quick and fall back into weight gain. I hope you see the irony in your family's pressure. Maybe you could point that out to them? That irony is that you're supposed to be slowly developing life long healthy exercise and eating habits but that they're pressuring you to demonstrate RIGHT NOW how you're not going to gain the weight back. You're probably going to have to put up with their doubt and crap for many months to come. Use it as a shield. Dare them to doubt you. Say to them that it's fine that they doubt you. Let them know that you'll be sure to give them quarterly or every half year meetings so you can give them " I told you so " updates. You'll then need to build up your exercise and positive diet habits slowly over those periods and update your family. You can take this to a great degree by maintaining a food and/or exercise diary. Flood them with information if they're not happy with your weight loss then show them how every month, every day, every hour you've kept track of what you're doing. If they doubt that will continue ask them what they consider " continuing " and " permanent " to be? They obviously have some time frame in mind. Unfortunately my vision of a time frame for me (and I suppose you) is the rest of life. So if I was to say I doubt your ability to keep the weight off I would have to maintain that doubt for the rest of your life. That's going to be pretty tough for me to do especially as you change your habits, lose the weight and then maintain it for a few years. I'm betting your family gives up too. It's not going to be easy but you can outlast your detractors. That's part of this struggle. I'm not one of the detractors for the record. I only hope that I can maintain my own self doubt to the extent where I need it to maintain my fervor and yet not have it occupy my every thought. It's a tough balance. This group and others are a great support network though. It helps a lot to have support and to know that you're not alone in what you're going through.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 See Sharana makes a good point with her sister's support. Some people could consider her sister's help as nagging. It's all a matter of your mental attitude. Her sister is just trying to be involved and helpful. The difference between how Shauna perceives that help and someone who considers it harrassing is purely Shauna's mental attitude. You have to have a positive mental attitude. It's contagious too. Most likely her sister feels better when Shauna thanks her and acts on her advice in a positive manner. Way to go ladies! Mike in GR > One week from today I fly to Mexico for my RNY.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Where in Mexico are you going? That's where I had mine done as well. There's really no guarantee you'll not regain the weight other than yourself. This is a life long commitment to changing the way you eat & live.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Well you are taking a drastic last step measure and you are obviously serious. Anyone who undergoes wls is obviously willing to make a real dedicated effort. Will you gain your weight back? It is a possibility. But, if you truly embrace your new tool and learn to use it effectively;realize this is not a quick fix but a jump start to a new way of living; make the lifestyle and mental changes needed; and set up good eating and exercise habits from the get go it does not have to be a probability. Tell them that you are becoming as informed as you possibly can and with their support and love you are determined to do it, and do it right.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks, all you guys, for the support. I've had a rough couple of days. I was so confident, then Whammie! I know old habits have to be replaced by new ones, and I do enjoy exercising..and know I will even more as I lose weight. I want to be able to move around a tennis court enough to " play " so badly. The life of a fat person sucks! Especially at this stage where it has affected my functioning. I've failed at dieting so miserably for so many years...but I'm hoping that not being able to overeat for a long enough period of time in the beginning will enable me to firmly establish new habits and changes in lifestyle. That must be the thing that helps so many people lose and keep it off that have been fat all their lives?

Tell them that you are becoming as informed as you possibly can and with their support and love you are determined to do it, and do it right. --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hi , I'm going to Hermosillo, to Dr Ungson. I wanted the DS...but the doc wouldnt do it because I have Hepatitis C. Evidently malnutrition can cause liver failure, and he thought there was too much of a risk of malnutrition w/ the DS. Where did you go? Woodard wrote: Where in Mexico are you going? That's where I had mine done as well. There's really no guarantee you'll not regain the weight other than yourself. This is a life long commitment to changing the way you eat & live.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I went to Monterrey to Dr. Rumbaut. There is a greater risk w/ DS for malnutrition than RNY. I hope all goes well for you!
