  1. I am just completely annoyed right now. I had surgery last August and have dropped some weight. But now, does not seem like I can lose anything. I have not really lost any weight since January. My doctor told me to just go back on phase 1 Southbeach Diet. I have increased exercise to walk two to three miles each day but still have not gotten anywhere!
  2. See, and I will be one year on Aug 22 and have not lost since Jan. I am so upset by this. I dont know why either. Not eating bad, exercising as much as possible.
  3. Thank you so much! That is just what I needed! Solid direction on what to do! :-D
  4. No. I guess I should be. I want juice to drink a lot too.
  5. I had sleeve surgery in August 2012. Down about 60 lbs. Have about 80 to 100 lbs more to loose. But I have hit a wall. Any ideas how to jump start weight loss again?
  6. still follow the diet, well minus some cheating here or there. I am trying to exercise, mostly by walking. I am doing the walk away the pounds dvd. You know the one. With that skinny lady and her skinny friends. Makes me want to sit down with a ten pack of Reese Peanut Butter cups and just watch! (like I could even eat three of those candies!) I think I just need to snap out of my winter weather funk and embrace that nice weather! Btw~ Thats ok for a guy to sneak into the girls threads. At least we know that it is something that never changes no matter what size you are :-)
  7. I had sleeve surgery on Aug 7, 2012. I weighed in on surgery day at 296. I am down to 238. I thought the weight would have been down a lot more than that by now. Is this the norm?
  8. I had Gastric Sleeve in Aug of this year and am losing weight of an average of about 10lbs per month. I am prefering to sell clothes first on this site rather than doing the whole consignment shop thing. Most of my clothes are Woman Within/Lane Bryant. Have t shirts, dress shirts, jeans, khakis, nursing smocks, etc. If interested, just email me and I will send picture of the clothing article. All clothing is stain free, "gently worn".
  9. So I had my surgery on 8/7/12. And I just have one question that no one can seem to answer.- How do you make this work?
  10. I work full time and sit at a desk for 4 days of the week-10 hour shifts. Are there any simple exercises that others suggest that would be helpful yet not kill someone who has a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis? I am will to take ANY suggestions! Thanks for your imput!!!
  11. I agree. yet my husband had banding and feels totally defeated. breaks my heart when he is litterally crying to the dr about his weight. yet I am the loud mouth italian who cries because I am not a walking miracle!

  13. I walk and I am contremplating doing the elipticle at the gym(provided I don't fall flat on my face!)
  14. I work for doctors and there are 4 flights of stairs here. So I try to do at least 28 flights per day. But it just is not helping. I think i am going to just go back to my liquid diet since that worked
  15. I had gastric sleeve on 8/7/12 and am down about 20lbs. I am so angry. I mean, I see these pictures in here where it seems like EVERYONE who is ANYONE is loosing weight. I feel like I am not. I was told this was going to be a fast way to loose the weight. And it is not. Granted, I can not eat the amount I used to, but I am so upset that I can not loose more weight, even with me exercising. am I the onyl one here dealing with this? What do others suggest I do?
  16. ok on pureed stage and am sooooo sick of pureed chicken, ham and eggs. Any advice? Need something quick, simple..yet appetizing. HELP!!
