CARMEN

Carmen joined our bariatric Reboot program and lost over 20 lbs!

“I have been struggling with losing weight I had gained back. I told myself 13 years ago

that I never wanted to be 200 lbs again and I was there. I was disappointed with myself. I was on Weight Watchers and had only lost a few pounds. I was getting so frustrated. I heard about the reboot program through a friend, and I immediately signed up.”

“I have learned to go back to the basics. I had not realized how far away from the basics I had gotten. The reboot has been the best thing I could have done to get myself in the right frame of mind. I need to remember that bariatric surgery is a tool to get the weight off, but it is up to me to use that tool and keep it off.”

“It is not easy, but you can do it. You didn’t gain this weight back in one day and you won’t lose it in one day. Just stick to the program, it works.”

“I am not done yet. I still have weight I would like to lose. After 12 weeks of following the reboot program, my eating habits have changed for the better.”

DARCEY

Bariatric surgery in 2012

Lost 27.4 lbs in the Reboot Program

" I started the program because I had gained back almost all the weight I had lost. The different medications that I was put on and menopause are a couple of reasons for gaining weight back. I was at a loss trying to get back on track to lose weight but just couldn't seem to get anywhere. That’s when I said enough is enough and I need help. I reached out to the office, and I came in for an appointment with Dr. Gluck and came up with a plan"

 "I have learned how important it is to journal and make sure you get the right amount of protein and fluids in for the day"

 "If you were like me and were scared or embarrassed to reach out to Dr. Gluck to get help after you gain some of the weight back, trust me, don't be. The staff there are so nice and understanding when things happen. Dr. Gluck made me feel so comfortable and told me I'm not alone. It was so worth going to talk to him. Doing the Reboot program put me back on track to working on reaching my goal of looking better and feeling healthier. Shelby was so easy to talk to and answered all my questions and was so helpful on my journey."

"I plan on continuing my journey for a healthy future and keep pushing myself to reach my goals. If I start to gain any weight back, I’m not going to wait as long to reach out for help”

KARA

Bariatric surgery in 2014

Lost 21.5 lbs in the Reboot Program

“I had finally had enough. Enough of the weight gain, feeling uncomfortable and tired, not feeling happy about myself, and most importantly, of my own excuses. It was time for me to find a program that I could stick to and hold myself accountable for the changes I needed to make in my life. I was looking for a non-surgical option to get my life back on track.”

“I have learned to look at all my groceries through the lens of the 15/10/5 rule. I inspect everything that I am eating now, instead of mindlessly eating out of convenience. I buy more whole foods and have incorporated them throughout my diet. I have learned that my impulse eating can be controlled by being vigilant about the foods that come into the house. I have also learned how to develop a workout plan that is fun and challenging. I am a big planner. To set myself up for success I create a lunch and dinner menu each week and use this to guide my grocery shopping. I also make sure I have a gym bag packed and ready so I am unable make excuses as to why I cannot make it to the gym that day.”

“If you are even a little bit curious about the program, I recommend setting up an initial appointment! The information given at the beginning was enough to make me feel like I would be going through this process with a team that was going to work with me to help me succeed. It was difficult for me to admit that I needed help losing weight, but I am glad that I finally put aside my fear and started the program.”

CHRISTINE

Bariatric surgery in 2010

Lost over 25 lbs in the Reboot Program

“The main reason I decided to make an appointment was simply because I did not feel good and needed to get back on track. During my initial appointment with Dr. Gluck, he suggested that I try the reboot program that was just getting ready to start. Can you say perfect timing lol. This sounded like just what I needed!”

“It is easy to forget things when your surgery was almost 14 years ago. So, the reboot program was good for me. Making sure I’m taking the right vitamins, and getting the correct water and protein intake for my body. Making smart choices, not the quick easy choice. Getting back on track with exercise and remembering that I need to make time for “me”. That was probably the most eye-opening, part of this program for me. I had focused all my attention on everything else in life rather than taking care of myself.”

“If you are thinking about the reboot program but aren’t sure, let me just say you won’t be disappointed. The team here has been great throughout the whole 12 weeks of the program. They have a well-thought-out plan to get you going again. They always have helpful suggestions and words of encouragement. Like with anything worth it, you need to do the work. For me, the first week was the hardest but that was to be expected. It only got better from there. The Reboot Program gave me what I needed to get back on track and gave me the encouragement I needed to keep going.”

“Now that I have completed my 12 weeks it doesn’t mean I’m done. For me, it’s a

continuous journey. The 12 weeks gave me the building blocks that I needed. My plan is to continue using what I’ve learned over the last 12 weeks and build upon it. Eating right and exercising are key to my success. I plan to keep myself on track with follow ups throughout the year. I feel better than I have in years and that is the biggest plus this program has helped me achieve. The team here at Life Without Limits truly cares and they want you to succeed at being the healthiest that you can be!”  

MANYA

Bariatric surgery in 2009

Lost over 20 lbs completing Reboot Program

“I gained a lot of weight back and needed a change in my life so I joined the reboot program and I'm so glad I did! I needed to get healthy again”

“You can go back and lose weight. I need to be accountable for what I eat. I have more drive to lose weight than I have in the past”

“My journey back to losing weight and getting fit has been a rough road but it got easier as I was going through this program. The support and care I got was excellent. The whole team at Dr. Gluck’s practice is such a nice, caring group of people. They care about me and my journey to losing this weight. I plan to continue to eat right and exercise after I finish the reboot program.”

Message from Manya:

“DO IT!!!! If you have gotten off track like I did, go back and do the reboot program. You won't regret it.”

JULIE

Julie became a LWL patient this year after having bariatric surgery somewhere else over 10 years ago. She was able to lose 20 lbs in our 12-week Reboot program! 

“I lost a lot of weight when I first had my bariatric surgery done (with another doctor). After years of no support group with that surgeon, I started gaining my weight back. I turned to Dr. Gluck’s team, however, I did not make use of the tools and support group that he had (which I totally regret now). This was mostly to do with the embarrassment of regaining the weight in the first place. I finally decided it was time to make an appointment to get help. I was told about the reboot program and decided right then that it would be the best thing for me. I would have the guidelines, accountability, and support I had been lacking for so long.”

“I have learned to journal, be accountable to myself, and not be my own worst enemy. I have learned to use the people and tools available with Dr. Gluck’s team for motivation, understanding, and guiding wisdom.”

“The program is totally worth it. You are worth it. Take the help and knowledge being offered in this program by these amazing people. I feel so much better about myself and what I have accomplished in just 12 weeks. I know what I need to do to continue with my success and know everyone in the office is available to me if I need to see someone or ask questions.”

“I have gained so much knowledge. Things I did not know at the beginning of my journey (right after surgery) and I know I am not alone in the struggles bariatric patients have after being out this far from surgery.
