I am almost a year out. I lost 37lbs pre surgery and have since lost 120lbs for a total of 157lbs. Still have more to lose. I will gladly be your buddy if you'd like.

I had my surgery a year ago in September. I have lost 143 pounds pre and post op and still have 50 pounds to lose. Recently I stalled after so research I found I might not be getting enough Protein, I also upped my calories, because I walk or do my elliptical for at least an hour 6 days a week. So now I am eating a 1000 calories and getting 80-90 grams of protein a day, I also cut my carbs down to practically nothing. That seems to be working for me as the scale has started to move again. I am not saying that will work for you but maybe you need to play around with your calories, maybe add a little more sense it sounds like you do exercise. Anyway if you like to talk you can always email me at emmalou323@yahoo.com.

I am not in the Triangle area yet, but hope to be by the end of this year. Our house is on the market. I'm 9 months post-op, but I was in a stall for a month and realized I probably was eating too many carbs...funny how they sneak back in. So I have been doing mostly all protein this week and have already dropped 2 1/2 pounds. It was hard to go back to being so strict, but worth it to see the scale move. I seriously have to ask myself daily, do you want that food (usually something sugary) or do you want to fit into smaller clothes and be healthy. It's hard, I knew it would be, but it's been totally worth it. If you would like to talk you can email me emmalou323@yahoo.com.

Did you look at any of the area hospitals? I am looking to move to North Carolina and I looked to see if any offer support groups like mine does here and I did find several. It's worth a look! Also, don't worry about getting it all in right now. Fluid is most important I was told, it's really easy to dehydrate yourself.

You were home the SAME day???? That is crazy! I am 9 months out now. If you have any questions feel free to email me. emmalou323@yahoo.com

I was sleeved in September 2014, I've lost a lot but now I've stalled and I still have 50-60 pounds to go. I have no problem exercising now and do so usually 6 days a week, but food is still an issue. So this week I've decided to go back to just pure protein to see if I can jump start my weight loss again. It's so frustrating and I don't want to give up because the thought of putting on the eight again is horrifying. If love to talk with you too. If you want to email me my email is emmalou323@yahoo.com.

I actually found this today because I was looking for answers to why I have stalled. I will be 9 months out on June 23rd and I have not lost anything in 3 weeks. I exercise 6 times a week for an hour or more. I am so frustrated right now, I am not sure if I am eating too much or not enough. I am eating about 1000 calories a day. I am also looking for suggestions so I understand your pain. When I had my surgery I was 330 and now I seem to be stuck at 225, so we seem to have some similarities.
