Thanks for the encouragement. I do walk for 40 minutes four to six days a week, and I try to drink lots of water. I know that since I started eating more carbs with the introduction of bread (which I don't eat very often) rice and pasta, the weight loss has really slowed. Do most of you eat almost no carbs. I know I didn't crave them when I couldn't eat them for the first three months after surgery, but now I find I want them and my sweet tooth has returned. I was so afraid of dumping during the first three months I didn't touch sugars, but I started to eat them around Christmas at six months out and found I could tolerate them. Bad discovery!! Do you think if I cut carbs completely for a period of time I will stop craving them? I'd lime to loose another 30 to 40 pounds. Before the original surgery I weiged 325. I got down to 165 then slowly gained weight back up to 278. I was 273 when they did my sleve on 6/18/09. Today I'm at 209, my lowest weight so far.

I had the original jejunoilleal bypass thirty-five years ago. They told me at the gastric bypass seminar that most people had either died from them or had them reversed. I had mine reversed and they did a gastric sleve at the same time. I'm now almost nine months out and have lost 62 pounds. I'm happy with my loss but I need to lose more and I have been bouncing back and forth from 60 to 64 pounds for two months. Any suggestions?
