Remember when you weighed over 300 pounds and you literally felt “stuffed” into your clothes?

Elastic became your closest buddy! Do you recall how self-conscience.

It’s vital that the bariatric patient keep an eye on sugar grams in food!

6). Thinking as the Thin Think By : Meloney B. Hall, Successful Weight Loss Achiever
When you lose a massive amount of weight after undergoing the Gastric Bypass Weight-Loss Surgery, it’s difficult to change our mindsets and how we incorporate our new lifestyle habits. As we slim down, it is important that we begin to “think as a thin person” or rather (let’s all practice this tongue-twister together) “thinking as the thin think.” Why should we do this? Because if we fail to do this, we can run the risk of easily falling into those unhealthy and bad habits that strolled us down the paths of obesity in the first place.

9). Waiting for the “Mood Bus” to Arrive By : Meloney B. Hall, Successful Weight Loss Achiever
How many times have your heard “I’m not in the mood”… or “When I’m in the mood, I’ll do it,”? We talk about our “moods” as if they are things that come along like buses or trains and we hop on and ride them until it’s time to get off when we reach a destination, wherever that is and wherever it ends up. Pull the Cord – DING – time to get off! When it relates to the gastric bypass bariatric weight-loss patient, the “mood” is a very funny thing to measure since we find ourselves on incredible mood swings at times.
