I've been in a stall or should say plateaued about 5 mossy 6 mos post op 1was 160 now 148 next wk is my 1 yr anniversary my surgeon set a 140 goal for me past 2 moths I've been going from 150 to 146 up down, I won't make the 140 and I'm disappointed but he'll do I feel 110% better than preop. I've become enemies with the scale but as long as I can run with out being out of breath and my entire body hurting I'm happy. Maybe focus more on big picture and not on scale. I've gone from size 20 to 6/4 I've never been this small since probably junior high. Give it time best of luck!

My stay was also a mandatory 4 day. Phone and charger for sure, a comfy robe (hospitals are cold) over hosp gown makes it better, I was glad I brought my slippers it helped with the walking and allowed me to walk out to gardens and not have my feet get cold. I recommend you get up and walk as much as you can. Toothbrush toothpaste although you may not be able to first day since they don't allow you to drink anything at least that was my case. Small sturdy pillow helps abdomen pain when standing sitting coughing. Careful with your emails, texting and posting during the happy morph button period

Hey there I had my surgery March6 2012. Hardest, most scary yet the best and most rewarding decision of my life! It's normal to be scared but as time flys by, because it will, and the pounds are shed off you will be so happy of your choice to embark on this journey. It won't be easy, and yes possibly painful and you may encounter negative comments and even haters as you transform into a healthier happier you, but all that willhave been worth it. Stay strong and best of luck. I have my 1 yr appt on march7. And I am still 7 lbsfrom my doctors goal a little disappointed but I think I'll make it in do time:)

Forget about all that work"drama" focus on you! You opted for this surgery to better your self, this is all about you and your success pay no mind to anything negative and use your energy elsewhere.

Thanks all, I am not able to add people unless I have an email, so here goes mine. Dinorarojas@aol.com

I can't add you without an email. Dinorarojas@aol.com. I read some of your old posts and was just wondering how things are going with your partner ? I've been with my partner for 10 yrs and things have changed most for the best, but I have gained great confidence and the heaters around have made the attempt to twist this into putting me in a negative light and try to mess with my relationship. Hope all is well and I would like to add you to MFP

How do I add people without an email address?
