Reached 185 lbs. this morn. 147 pounds lost in 11 months---this stuff WORKS!!! Lost 9 lbs. just this past week, amazed it's still coming off... :-)

Same days I wish I had someone to burp me like a baby.

Broke out of a mini-stall with a vengeance. Lost 5.3lbs this week (Fri to Fri)

Depression starting to kick in. I view this web site and read all the stories and look at the pictures of everyone who is starting a new life. I still don't know if I'll be approved for the surgery and may not know for the next 5 yrs. Surely if there is a waiting list of 5 yrs wouldn't someone still get in touch with me before hand? Okay, living in Canada we are use to waiting for certian specialists. I waited one full year to see an arthritis specialist. But come on!!!! No doctor in this city does bariactric surgery and it's so necessary that the doctor has 5 years of patients before me?!!? This just sucks. I'm going to have to just forget about this site and the surgery if I'm going to make it to 5yrs from now to see if I can have the surgery or not. F*ck it, I've always been fat and alone. this site is wonderful for those who don't have to wait but torture for those still stuck. I'm out , or I'll be boo hooing for months. Learned a lot here and may see you all in 2020.

Trolls: Don't come here if you are just here to talk trash. Hopefully everyone recognizes the user names and doesnt fuel the drama - just saying.

3 week stall sucks but I am sticking to it.

is it true i have to take vitamins for the rest of my life

170 pounds lost from this time a year ago. 129 lost since surgery. 43 more to my personal goal, 4 more to my surgeon's goal for me. I am without speech! I am so grateful for my surgeon, the surgery, and my support system of friends and family. :-)
