i too have had this annoyance. i will wake up around 3am after being asleep for only 3 or 4 hours. UGHHHH> As soon as my eyes open I know dreamland is over. I will stay there still as can - but the brain doesn't shut down and my eyes would not shut. Frustrating- I hope it passes- for you too.

I have been allowing myself pretzels every night. My surgery was in January. I have lost 106 pounds. I have to stop eating these pretzels. I never had a stall once in all these months - until 3 weeks ago when I started eating this snack. Now the scale has been stuck. I can't believe I have done this to myself. I stayed away from carbs for 7 months. Why would I do this? I have to stop - right now. Jesus please help me. Please help fight the urge to snack. I don't want this surgery to be all for nothing. I have been feeling so guilty and ashamed. I don't ever want to be fat again. Jesus, please hear my prayer.

does your bariatric doctor have your old insurance plan on record???

TOSS--- AND LOVE IT

I have no support and it sucks. But - I am transforming myself into a strong, beautiful woman- that my kids will adore and appreciate having me so active in their lives.

This blog was meant for to read today! I weighed 264 the day of surgery. 6 months later---- I lost over 100 pounds and weigh 160. Mentally something snapped in me though. As soon as I hit 160 - I got lazy and started eating foods that I shouldn't. I feel inspired just reading your blog. I know I have to reorganize my thoughts and set some new goals. THANK YOU for your blog!!!!

what does DH stand for? I see that a lot but don't know what it means.

Tell them you had a hernia repair or your gallbladder out. Or whatever you are comfy with..

Good for you!!! You will find something very cute to wear that will be a size you are happy with. It was so exciting when I hit 199! I officially have lost 101 pounds in exactly 6 months. I feel like I have won the lotto of life!

I have 33 more pounds to go to goal!!! 135 ---> COMING TO GET YA!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO

wow. Things like this do happen. But even if your surgery was in October-- it will be here before you know it. I had some hang ups too. Just remember how fast time goes. Keep yourself busy. Breathe. And relax.

I am sure your dumping syndrome was from the type of yogurt you chose. Diane 65 is right. I only eat chobani greek yogurt- plain flavor-- very high in protein--very low in sugar. I hated the taste at first but now I love it. I have never had a stall. But I really watch my carbs!!

Going to a party today where I will see people that I haven't since Christmas. My surgery was in January and I have lost 96 pounds. At Christmas my skirt/pant size was a 24. Tops were 24 to 28 or XXXL. My sister bought me an adorable skirt and a sexy slamming blouse. Skirt size ---> 6 !!!!!!!!!!! The blouse is a plain MEDIUM. I cried and so did she. I kept looking at the tag on the skirt like it had to be wrong. What a moment. I feel liberated and I feel like I have finally won the battle. I have no regrets going through with this operation. I am very glad I didn't have the bypass or the band. I feel very healthy. Happy girl!! Have a good day everybody.

It is an amazing journey. I have no regrets. I lost 94 pounds under 6 months. I am trying so hard to reach that 100 pound mark by July 14th. Only 6 pounds and 11 days.

I m 6 months post-op. I have no regrets!!!!!!!!!! good luck
