Me Not So Horny......
I'm four months out yesterday and has had a low sex drive for about 3 years. After losing almost 70 lbs post op and still no increase in my drive even after following a million tips and trickes for years I went to see my GP. He ordered all kinds of hormone levels and turns out that has been the problem. We haven't fully decided on how to treat it since I want to discuss my options with my husband but my GP said that would explain the fact that I had a hard time getting pregnant.

Yay!
I'm down almost 70 lbs since my surgery March 19th. The loss has slowed down drastically but I'm excited. I am almost in "onederland" and only another 40 lbs to my original goal. Tgen i will continue and see how low can i go! Hope this feeling lasts.

Stuck
3 Months out and stuck at 55lbs lost. Really upset that no matter what I seem at a stand still. Protein check, fluid check, working out check. What am I doing wrong and when if ever will this 3 week stall give up. It makes me so sad. Help please

Bent
So I'm pretty bent out of shape right now. I get my protein in, I get my fluids in, i work out and I have only lost 55 lbs. I'm a bit over 3 months out and stuck at this weight. Someone please suggest something. I feel like a complete failure. 3 weeks at this weight an I don't see an end in sight. I've hit plateaus before but not quite like this

Does Anyone Have Any Regrets?
I regret not doing it sooner. I was sleeved 3/19 and I am now down 54 lbs and counting

Suggestions
My ideas how to be sure to get my protein in in this awful heat. I usually do well but I have never been a big eater when it's hot out and now that I never even get hungry its even harder. Thoughts?

K so I read a lot of posts today after my post and I'm really upset. I feel like I will never be where I should be. I am diligent about MFP and everything I eat I am 2 months out and only down 38 lbs. I see so many post about 1 month out and down 40 or 50 lbs. Where am I going wrong?am I always gonna be the Fat girl? My schedule only let's me get a workout in about 4 x a wk and for an hour or hour n half I do cardio m weights. Why won't it work like everyone else? My surgeon seems happy but my goal is still 100 lbs away and years at this rate. I'm totally disappointed in myself. Any suggestions

I yesterday was the first time since anesthesia(2 months ago today) that I vomited. I ate two bites of a turkey burger no bread just patty and that was it. It came back at me. Now I'm a little worried as I haven't been able to eat really all day. I did get in some cheese and yogurt and a few cooked carrots. Should I go back to liquid for a few days? I kept down my protein shake and all my water so far today and it is about 1030 here. Anybody have any thoughts?

Mothers Day Matters
Happy mothers day to all the sleeve mommy's and even the daddies who have to fill both roles. I am a bit upset this year as my husband has decided that he will not join us for any mothers day things so I now need to visit my mom and HIS mom alone with the kiddos and hopefully get a lil break in there myself but I well right? So the real question now that I vented is this... Can I have a taste or 2 of Greek frozen yogurt as the yogo factory just opened in my town and my oldest wants to treat me to that(using my money of course) ?

Sweet

Grrrr
I am almost 2 months out and everyday I wake up so nauseous. It get better throughout the day but I really just want to know if anyone else has felt like this. I do sleep much better/ more then pre op(I think this is a good thing since I used to only sleep about 3-4 hrs now I'm at 7-8) could it just be hunger that does it?
-

Guilty!
thanks guys. I am trying but with the issues my oldest has he does NOT have the skills to figure it out himself. He will be with us majority of his life if not forever. It is awful to deal with this stuff. Thanks for the boost I hit goal yesterday for protein and am intending to repeat today. Its just hard to make goal when stress is so heavy the desire to eat is missing. o well its all up to the man upstairs now!

Guilty!
oj so I have been really sick this past week secondary to stress(it is not WLS related) I am still losing but I am having major guilt issues because I have missed my protein mark 3x's in about 8days. how awful is that for my system? Any helpful hints? I never realized how badly I shut down when one of my children are in crisis. My mind seems totally off my goals and fixated on the giant matter at hand. Please pass the wisdom

Defeated?

Defeated?
so kinda feeling defeated lately. the weight is slowly coming off, I have not yet seen the results everyone raves about. I am working out staying the same and have SO much crud going on in my home life that I feel helpless and exhausted. I thought (somewhere in my wild mind) that this was gonna help and Id be happier but I think im goin the wrong direction. anybody else experience defeat post op at some point
