    I have a question, first of all I am a nail tech and when I do pedicures I have to lean forward a little and sometimes I get what feels a cramp in my stomach. Kinda like I am pinching an intestine or something only when I bend just slightly forward. When I sit up straight the cramp is gone. Have any of you ever felt a weirdness in your abdomen?

    Thats weird. When i lean to the right sometimes it feels like a something pinches my ribs and makes a weird feeling.

    I am having the same trouble! I am happy with the weight I am now. I know a lot want to get smaller than me but for my build I look healthy instead of looking so boney and sick looking. So I'm scared to get any smaller. Also I never liked coffee before surgery and now I find myself dreaming of caramel frappes from mcdonalds! I'm going crazy right now

    I am sadly (for myself it's sad) reporting that I'm still losing weight and hit my goal weight (125 as of this morn).. I am definitely too skinny. I have upped my carb intake. I am also forcing myself to eat more in calories. I hate being negative on what others think should be a positive task' date=' losing weight. But then again if we all could lose like we did before the surgery, we wouldn't have had the surgery :-)

    I am still very happy for the tool that I've been blessed with. However, now I need to learn how to gain effectively and maintain effectively while maintaining health; as well as, peacefulness in my mind with everything I'm putting in my mouth. So forgive me for the complaint when all of you are working so hard.

    My hard work is definitely coming in maintaining w/o losing. I cant wait to hear more goals reached. Hopefully the maintenance will be easier for you than it was for me!!!! I will continue following and posting; meanwhile praying for everyone that is having the surgery, thinking about having it, or have had it. Meanwhile, throw some prayers up for me in not losing anymore, but in gaining then maintaining ;-) the weight :-)[/quote']

    I will be praying for you! The Dr set a goal of 125 but I would look sick that small so my personal goal is between 135 and 140. I am almost there!

    Wondering how many have now considered surgery to remove all the excess skin since weight loss? I've lost total of seventy kilos through lap banding and roux en y bypass' date=' have so much hanging skin, don't want to be a model for Pete's sake, just want to walk and not feel like the tide is coming in, excess upper thigh skin and belly fat flapping In the breeze.... (Yeah, yuk, I know). Surely I'm not alone here?[/quote']

    I am still undecided on skin removal. I know for certain I am doing my breasts. The leg skin does bother me a little but not sure I want to spend the money for it. I was just sad to see my breast just turn to nothing but loose skin! :-(

    I was having discomfort just below rib cage on right side. I've never had full blown gallbladder attacks' date=' but I heard its wicked painful almost like labor pains. Hope you don't have any more issues. Nicole[/quote']

    I was pregnant with my son back in 96 and I thought I was in labor but come to find our I was having gallbladder attacks! Its a lot worse than labor. I had mine out 3 months after he was born but my Dr asked me before surgery if I had mine cause he always removes them when he does GB on someone

    Jessie' date=' congrats. You go girl.

    I am down to 130 - size 4 pant. I'm not thrilled that I'm still losing, but I'm not much of a meat eater anymore. I don't eat potatoes, rice, pastas, a lot of those carbs. My original goal was 125. However, I would like to stop losing anytime now and just maintain. My Protein intake is approx 100g a day or more.

    My nutritionist told me to start eating protein bars. So I am going to start trying some out. Any ideas as to ones that taste good???
