Ok so I am not a happy camper today.... Surgery Oct 29, 2012... That was 15 months ago almost. Started 285 - now 220. Yes that's only 65 pounds an not a one has come off in the last 9 months. So i have figured out- its up to me for the next 50 to come off.. Yes folks- I'm a slow loser and a slow learner. So- recommitting myself to diet and exercise because I can eat anything. Somedays its like I didn't even have the surgery. Other days I can eat minimally. Anyway- just needed to vent and admit I've not gotten where I wanted.

You are on the same SLOW path that I am! You are not alone and I am so glad to hear you are getting in shape!

So I think I might be the slowest loser EVER!!!! Highest 285- preop 273 - today 241..... That only 32 pounds in 14 weeks! The holidays and a major adjustment in my thyroid meds have not helped but good grief!! I have decided to start and exercise program and see if that helps..... Just needed to vent....

Dr told me to monitor calories and try to get 1000 per day..... I'm not even close! All I have been watching is protein and vitamins... Dr said I am not eating enough to lose weight! Go figure- from too much to not enough in 5 short weeks!

I am the same way! Lost on preop and first week then - nothing! Been 16 days since surgery and I can eat almost any well chewed protein and even well chewed junk. Trying to refocus and not be too hard on myself- after all I am on 16 days in.
