i so needed to read this thread! i've been stuck since march and just recently saw a 4lb gain! i've got to keep pushing, i refuse to be done.

i too have been struggling with my hunger returning and my love for chocolate back on deck. i'm in the exact same boat as kristina and broadway. i'm trying my best to get back on track and i refuse to fail. i must say right now i kinda feel like that old jana struggling with my weight and trying to find the right diet plan. i do however feel like i can eat alot more than in the earlier post op months, still much less than pre-op but enough now to actually call it a meal. for example, i can eat all but maybe three bites of a frozen burrito but when it come to dense meat 3-5 bites and i am stuffed! i don't eat bread bcuz i'm just not attracted to it anymore, it feels me up way to fast and hurts everytime i eat it no matter how much i eat! i haven't been active on the boards much at all the last few months but it is very nice to know that i am not the only one struggling! also i am one of those sleevers that never really got into excersizing the way i should have and reliead soley on my minimal eating to get the weight off, i kno this is bad and i know i need to get in the gym, no excuses. i feel like i've lost all the weight i'm gonna loss based on eating less and the only way to get to goal is to get moving. with all that said, i've been stalled between 186-188 since feb and even thought i'd love to goal asap, if i never lose or gain another pound i am proud of what i've acheived and won't complain!

i feel mine right in the center of my chest, my nose runs and i start sneezing.

i agree with you globetrotter i feel the same way nothing holds me for very long

jessie- i feel the same way most of the time! sometimes i just sit and remember the things i used to love and get sad a lil bcuz even if i attempted to eat it now it would be no more than 3 bites. i love the weightloss i've had so far but i've still got a lot more to lose, so the road is far from over for me. congrats on your loss as well.

I had VSG - Aug 11th, 2011 (7.5 mths ago) I've lost - 88 lbs Starting weight: 274 lbs Height: 5'4" Goal weight: 120ish

im having the exact same problem! I can't fit anything and don't want to waste money on new ones when in about 2-3 wks they will be to big!

i listen to my pandora workout station while boxing and dancing around for thirty minutes, feels like a pretty good workout to me.

omg i thought this was just in my mind! i feel the same way about it all, i can eat more and i want to eat more, sweets (my vice has always been ice cream).

hi ladies! can i join in here? i'm currently in a stall that has lasted all of jan! this is my first one since surgery and it is killing me! my scale is stuck at 200 and is not budging! i saw 199 for two days in row and i guess i got to excited cuz i haven't seen it since! i hope you ladies have a great week!

it's always nice to know your not alone. and also it makes me burp, esp if i let it go waaaay to long. have you experienced any burping with it?

i am at 4mths out and have the exact same problem. i take 2 acid reducers, a gas-x, and about 3-4 rolaids a day and some days are better than others but it's still there. i've been recently switching brands off ppi and acide reducers to see if that may help but it has yet make any real difference. it can get quite painfiul if i let it go on too long without putting some kind of food or liquid in there. and it's annoying as i don't know what. maybe some else can help us out.

i didn;t have one, i woke up in my room with my incision medically super glued together and the biggest one had a band-aid on it.
