7 Months out and 110 lbs lost - my doctor said I am a "High Outlier" though. One year's weight lost in 6 months.

Definitely report her - there should be a nurse manager that you can speak to, if you don't get a response I would then go to the hospital admin.

I am almost 7 months post op and have lost 110 pounds - which is A LOT in a short time. I had a lot to lose and my goal is about 40 more pounds at most or 20 more at least. BUT Ive been stalled for about 8 weeks and getting antsy that because I lost so much so fast that now I've hit the end of my active loss. I don't know if I can lose 40 pounds on my own. Guess I'm looking for encouragement or at least your different experiences.

He is a bit much, decent info but ugh.??

Be on the lookout for blood clots if you are spending that much time in a recliner. Try to get in your bed as soon as possible - I agree with the wedge pillow suggestion, I couldn't have done it without mine.

1. I WEIGH LESS THAN MY HUSBAND!!!!!!! 2. I have decided to claim I have "finally lost the baby weight" if anyone asks. My daughter is 23 3. That is all - just wanted to share my joy today.

I completely agree - I don't see why this would be a no-go for surgery. Especially if you planned to get help with it somewhere along the line. Everyone uses food as a comfort, I told my docs that I planned on going to therapy to deal with my food/emotions connections. I actually have found that while I enjoy therapy, it hasn't made the difference when it came to emotional eating - what made the difference was the surgery itself.

I’m 4 months out and food is good but I just don’t care too much. I make an effort to try plenty of things but rarely have cravings. I could just eat protein bars and be perfectly happy. Do crazy strong cravings come back to haunt at some point?

Thank you!

Crushing self doubt!!!! LOL NO, I really can't complain at all, I'm just being insecure. I REALLY want to kiss ONEderland and I'm afraid I'll never get there... ?

So I think I should stop complaining! I'm just worried this is all a dream and I'll wake up one day and it will all go away!

OOOOh is there one for bypass? is it different I wonder?

I am about 4 months out - up until about a week before Christmas I was losing a pound a day - awesome right? Well then I had a stall, and now I have lost about 10 pounds in three weeks, which, believe me I am very happy about. I've lost about 92 lbs (including 25 pre surgery pounds). Should I just relax and expect this slow down or can it pick up again? Thanks!

Do you have a link to the study? Sounds interesting.

I’ve lost about 80lbs and suddenly I’m walking hunched over - practically folded in half! Should I add sit ups or something?
