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.

This morning at church several different people said I looked skinnier and awesome. I thought to myself. "I haven't lost weight in 2 1/2 weeks" And then I thought "well maybe I am loosing inches. It made me feel good that people are noticing my weight loss. It was a motivator to keep trying. I prayed that I would start loosing again. I have been on my vitamins for a couple days now. I know I should have started them a long time ago but I am glad I am trying. I have excersized three days in a row now. I am going to try and keep it up for a week and see what happens. Hope everyone is having a good day.
Please know I only have a positive intent here...
Your comment "I will try this for a week"... just keep in mind, this is about the rest of our lives! Sometimes stalls, at least preop, can last for 6 weeks or longer even when doing all the right things... so please, do not give up!! :) :)
For me, I can't "try anything" ... I have to make up my mind that "I will do it!"... Long ago someone told me: Trying is lying!!!!! I have never forgotten that...
The vitamins are oh so important... Remember your body can't absorb like it used to.... It is very dangerous to go without...
And I am not great on exercising... But I know that I have to do it, to be successful...
I tell myself over and over: this is a life change, not just something I can play around with... I have been given another chance at life....
Don't give up... That scale will move again...
