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.
I swore when I entered this I wouldn't be a slave to the scales. I knew once I weighed myself I would fall into the bad habit of feeling disappointed and being chained to those darn scales.
I did well. My 1 month dr visit I weighed in and then he told me I was doing great and would see in 2 months. I've fought it and finally gave in yesterday. 2 months and I'm 48lbs down. I was down 27 at that first visit.
My head is saying "we're all different" "we all lose at different speeds" blah blah blah .... I just feel angry at myself.
Now I"ve got to get myself motivated and face this holiday season and all the temptations.

You are doing amazingly well 48 in 2 months that is 48 more than you had lost before surgery.
We are all different and we all lose at different paces its okay. Your holiday will be successful just make wise choices and remember to listen to your pouch or use your measurement cups.
If you haven't done your body measurements yet, do it now. Inches lost is really encouraging, and you'll see the inches change even when the scale seems to be stuck. So get a notebook and do your body measurements now.
I used to do my measurements weekly. But every two or three weeks would be better.

You are doing awesome! Trust me hon, the scale now becomes (mostly) your friend.
Wow i just can't get over it - you are really doing great!!!! If you haven't been motivated, i can't imagine what you're going to lose when you are!
