Well I have stalled for the last 2 months and just ignored it since I've been working out more. I have been between 157-160 but have went down from a 12 to a 10. So have just been going w the flow... Yesterday I was admitted to the hospital and will be having gallbladder surgery today at 3pm...the surgeon said that this is common in people who lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time...so the only positive is that I will be on a liquid diet for a couple of days and hopefully can lose a few pounds during my recovery.

Me too! We need to meet???

I don't know what is wrong with me but I keep thinking about food and eating when I know I'm NOT REALLY hungry. I have went up 3 pounds on the scale since yesterday. OMG I think life's stresses are getting the best of me!

So if you are still searching for a great protein shake you have to try the TotalLean at GNC!

Ok so I went for my 6 month check-up and the doctor starts telling me that I only need to lose 15 more pounds. NO I have 30 more to go to reach my goal weight. I started at 238 on 9/17/2012 and I'm down to 160 but my goal has always been 130. I'm only 5'2 so it's not that unreasonable but why do the doctors always try to discourage you because of your age? I'm only 35 not 85. I don't want to hear "at your age" because I'm made it this far and I will make my goal. On another note I found a protein shake that taste so good I choose it over food most of the time now. GNC TotalLean is so good! I have about 5 big containers of different protein shakes that I bought and did not like and finally 6 months out I finally found one I love! ????????????????????????????????????

You are so close...we should so get together.

Mine is 76108 and I would love to get together.

We should meet up you are really close to me and we could hang out and share our experiences as I was born n raised here n Texas...lol

Sounds good we should definitely get together.

I think it would be nice to meet up n talk if nothing else...I don't know anyone around me who has had the surgery so it would be nice to talk to someone who is going through the same thing...that's cool that u both had it...how is progress for the both of u?

We should meet up sometime that would be nice to meet someone who is going through the same process.

Ur only 7 weeks out so ur weight lose is good but u need to get a plan when it comes to eating...it's not easy after surgery. If u need a crunch get some RAW nuts they r not as bad for u as other crunchy foods but get like a 2 or 3 oz container n thats it NO grazing as it will become a bad habit for u and hurt ur progress in the long run. I am not a big water person either so I drink tea w Splenda or crystal light with my water. Although since I've been exercising more I have been craving water. I feel like I did not get and am still not getting the guidance I thought I would after surgery but I have found ways to get my Protein as I know that is the most important. Surgery 9/19...down 53 lbs...started at size 20-22 down to a 12-13!

Me too! I was always hot before and now I am always freezing! I think it's because we don't eat all that comfort food anymore...lol...or cause we don't have as much weight to keep us warm anymore...lol I was sleeved on 9/19...down 53 lbs...started at size 20-22 down to a 12-13! I am loving my new look and life.

I live in white settlement.

Surgery 9/19...down 53 lbs...started at size 20-22 down to a 12-13! I am loving my new look and life. I agree that we hit stalls but we have to stay positive and stick with the program. Don't sabotage your success and goals by eating candy or giving up. Our bodies r still n a little bit of a shock so it is not going to cooperate all the time. Be patient and stick to the plan...by this time next year we r all going to be amazed by the results of our hard work and dedication. I would love to find a work out partner in the Fort Worth area if anyone is interested. I joined Planet Fitness in north side Fort Worth ($10 a month) and think I would have better motivation if I had a friend with the same goals as me to work out with. Call me if interested 817-223-6241.

I am glad to hear u r doing good and feeling great. I too have had no issues since my surgery I am just loving life. I had surgery on 9/19 n am down 53 lbs but 10 sizes smaller in clothes which means more to me than the weight...lol Good luck and keep me posted on ur progress.

Well things are about the same with my hubby...I work a lot so that helps but when I am home I can never do anything right in his eyes..so tired of arguing but I too am trying to hang in there....I hope things are better on your end!

So I am down 53 lbs starting at 235 day of surgery to 182...size 20-22 down to 12-14! I am really excited except for the extra skin I am noticing...I really need to join a gym but the ones that are affordable are either far away from me, don't have a daycare, or don't have hours that work for me...I wish I knew someone that would help me especially since my docs office no longer has the cute little fit woman to show us what exercises I need to do and how to do them...now that have a middle aged man who is not even in shape his self trying to tell me what I need to do...yea like I'm going to take advice from someone that is not using the technics himself! I think I'm going to have to find an affordable trainer...
