Surgery was in December 2013. Best decision ever, I'm now trying to get everyone I know that is struggling with their weight to consider this surgery.

It has been a while since I have checked in because my loss has come to screeching halt

I hve been losing/gaining the same 2-3lbs for almost 1 month - anyone else having this problem?

Same here, it's been a month since I have really lost any weight. I know inches are dropping but the pounds are staying at the same really. I'm so happy to know I'm not by myself, this must be one of the stages you go through while losing weight.

Princesstami -

Like you, I keep losing and gaining the same 2 lbs for the entire month of May. It's really frustrating. Hope the weight loss hasn't stopped.

This is happening to me as well I can't stay out of 170. One day I'm 168 and they I'm back to 170. I think my body is comfortable with that number.

See how great this surgery is already. You are already losing dead weight and you haven't gone into the surgery room. She was never a real friend, a friend is there with you no matter what you are going to do. Hopefully she will come to her senses if she wants that title of a friend. If not move on, get over it and focus on becoming a better, healthier, happier person.

The sad thing is when I was my heaviest I was too uncomfortable to take pictures. I have very few photos of me and my kids together. I feel like my weight loss is going slow. I have lost a total of 60 pounds. I have hit a stall that seems like forever. I think my body wants to stay this size.

Sounds like your potassium maybe low and your electrolytes could be low. Start drinking gatorade, plenty of Water and eat bananas. You may still want to check with your doctor also. Good luck

ricotta and spinach come in handy a LOT... I use them with some italian spices and roll it up in a chicken breast and bake off... my husband likes to put some Tomato sauce on top

Sounds good, I'm going to try that soon.

I wanted something different for dinner tonight and came across this meatloaf recipe. I want to share with all that's looking for something different...instead of crackers/bread crumbs, I ground up some oatmeal.< /p>

The feelings of ashame...yes. Thanks for the great advise. I really needed that support.

There is a new Krispy Kream Doughnuts in my area. The hot light was on and cars lined up from the streets with police patrol. I just drove on by without succumbing to that temptation. Note to self, new route home.

Ur doing great u lost more than me and I'm on liquids only at 4.5 months out -- u were sleeved on 12.11 and me 12.12. Keep it up lady!!

I'm confused, why are you only on liquids at 4.5 months out?

I'm Happy this great Easter Sunday weighing in at..drum roll please..173. I'm so HAPPY. I pass my goal of 175.

Hw: 231

Sw: 215

Cw: 177

Total of 54 pounds, I'm getting there, but I'm happy with the results.

You are going to be fine. Those feelings are normal, I felt the same way. I remember back in November you were waiting for a surgery date, boy does time fly...it's finally here. YAY, Good luck!!!

I love your username so I have been reading all your post and came across this recipe. I made this dish for Breakfast this morning and my entire family loved it. I'm almost four months p.o but I'm doing this dish all the time....so GOOD.

This is horrible, I to have a friend who has lost tons of weight and sent me a post on fb on how they have lost 100s of pounds on the coffee bean...Really. When I finally decided to have wls I told them that I chose to do something else. Most of the weight loss commercials are scams and it's wrong to take ppl money this way. People need to just tell the truth, it may help thousands of ppl that just didn't know about wls.

I can not wait to hear the outcome from next week. Hope you start feeling better real soon...I'm almost afraid of taking antibiotics now.

Great job, you look good :-)

I am also using almond milk for my Protein shakes. I think they recommend cows milk because it's higher in Protein.

Same thing my nutritionist told me, but I still drink Almond milk.

That is awesome.
