Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
So today is my 6 month surgiversary. I have lost 86 pounds. I feel like that is pretty good. I still need to loose 100 more. I have to be honest here. In the past couple of weeks, I have fallen off the bandwagon a bit. I have been having a really hard time with the pain from the hernia's and eating has been a little rough. I need some kind self kick in the butt so I can get moving again.
Another part of it is the depression. The fact that I have been trying to get into school and walls keep getting put in my way. It is so hard to keep fighting for this, but I really really want it. Just like I want to be healthy.
Im sorry this has turned into more of a rant than a happy post but I am just having a hard time. Thanks for listening. This is a great group.

Second, pick yourself up and get back to it! You have to be positive to succeed. I think if you can turn your depression around to a positive everything will fall into place. I know I'm an optimist, but it works for me. I know for myself the minute I start thinking everything is out to get me, it does! somehow you have to find the strength to put the bad behind and move forward. Your weight loss may be the key to getting you back on track!
Good luck, I know things will get better and most of all the other 100 lbs will come off soon too! =)
Life is all about one foot in front of the other.... and in time you get where you want to go, or at least where you need to be :)
CONGRATS on your success to date!
