Topic: RE: MARCHers and goal!
Barbara,
I agree with what Stephanie has posted. You are in no way a failure. What you are is a good friend and a positive motivator. When you feel better things will look up.
I hope you feel better soon,
Take care, Rick
Topic: RE: MARCHers and goal!
You aren't unsuccessful today. I promise! It's tough to try something new when you don't feel 100% healthy. Give yourself a break my friend. Water and vitamins are great things to accomplish every day!
Patience is never something I seem to have. I went spinning last night for the first time since plastics. It felt great to spin again! Hopefully I'll start seeing some results from this exercise effort soon. There's that patience I don't seem to have again! 
Hang in there and take care of yourself. I hope you feel better soon. Meanwhile, you can be successful at lots of things. Including being a great friend and Marcher motivator!
Hugs, Stephanie

Submit your pre-op goals were (why did you want to lose weight):
I wanted to lose weight because I was tired of being over weight, out of breath, out of shape and uncomfortable around people. I always felt like the biggest person in the room and no matter who I was out with, I felt I was being looked at for being "the biggest one in the group". I tried endless diets and new sugar was my downfall. After learning about wls I honestly thought this would be my only way to lose weight, keep it off (sugar being my problem and dumping on it if I ate it sounded great) and its worked

Topic: RE: A&E Show-- Intervention
Thanks for the info. Another good show to watch is "Big Medicine" - it follows patients through WLS and plastic surgery by this father/son surgeon team in Houston, TX. It is very interesting and motivational.
