The Will to Win by Berton Braley If you want a thing bad enough To go out and fight for it, Work day and night for it, Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it, If only desire of it Makes you quite mad enough Never to tire of it, Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it, If life seems all empty and useless without it And all that you scheme and you dream is about it, If gladly you'll sweat for it, Fret for it, Plan for it, Lose all your terror of God or man for it, If you'll simply go after that thing that you want With all your capacity, Strength, and sagacity, Faith, hope, and confidence, stern pertinacity, If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt, Nor sickness nor pain Of body and brain Can turn you away from the thing that you want, If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it, You'll get it.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! I am post-op Laparoscopic RNY; my surgery was on 5/24/05. Anyway, I will be praying for you, and I know you will come through surgery with flying colors. Pretty soon, you will be a big ol’ loser!! I’m not going to tell you that the first few weeks after surgery will be a bed of roses because it was pretty bad for me. But today, I feel fine and the only thing that I regret is that I didn’t have surgery in 2004 when I first started researching it. So, if you find that you’re having a hard time coping right after surgery, please know that it DOES get better. Don’t ever hesitate to email me if there is anything I can do for you – even if you just need a pep talk! So here’s to you… may you have a successful surgery, improved health, energy galore, many “wow moments”, and fabulous before-and-after pics! God bless! Hugs, Tracy

Just about 2 months out
Well, I realized it has been quite a while since I've written anything. I'm just shy of being 2 months out. I'm not exactly thrilled with my weight loss. It seems to be very slow going compared to some other people. According the the stupid weight loss estimator on this site I should be 10lbs lighter than I am now :(

Whatever, right! It's going in the right direction and that thing is only an estimation, right? I just get so stinking jealous when I see other people losing so much so fast.

If one more person says well so and so was so regimented, like I'm not???? It pisses me off. I do exactly what they say to do. I'll also scream if someone else asks me if I get enough protein, uh yeah! I get usually between 90 and 100 grams. Sometimes more. So I'm good there. Yep, exercising too. Although since I stopped (got sick, and feel too :( I have been loosing again, go figure). The oh you are builing muscle theory does not work. I've been working out my whole life, I already have plenty of muscle. I just hate when people say that, it's such crap. Anyway, a little grouchy today, eh?

Anyway, I do feel a lot better. I run up and down the stairs like it's nothing now. I thought I would have to be a lot light for that to happen. I'm 213 now. I'm just so sick and tired of being fat. I have never been fat before. I was a personal trainer for God's sake! These last four years that I have been fat have just been horrible.

To anyone who reads this NEVER, NEVER, NEVER EVER EVER EVER TAKE DIET PILLS!!!! They will screw up your metabolism for life. When long term usage anyway. Prescription diet pills for 11 years straight did a job on my metabolism. When I first got fat, I could eat zero food for a week and still GAIN! It was crazy.

Anyway, I was supposed to be updating here LOL.

OK, so my clothes are getting looser for the most part. I'm kind of in between sizes right now. I have plenty of clothes for the journey :D

Hello Fruitloop, I am one week away from RNY surgery myself. I came across your profile while searching info on vitamins. You should update it. :) You have come so far since this blog.

Anyway grats to you, finding people like yourself who are not "fast losers" and yet are still very successful really shows how much I have to look forward to in the months and years to come.

Continued luck to you,
Troy
