So your Not lone........ With youIn Utah, Amy:Banane19:

I was banded 6/6/05 I lost 57 lbs the first year and not a thing this year. I'm in I'm in.....It is so frustrating. But never give up is my motto.

Hi It is me again. I have been gone for a while. life is crazy. I need to hear from someone who has been on a long plateau. I have been stuck for a year at the same number on my scale.I really hate that number. ahhahah I have tried everything I can think of. I tried medifast weightwatchers exerciseing like a maineac(sp?) fills unfills protine drinks of every type.:cry At the Doctors office last month My nurse was telling me that she had read a paper that said that for some reason the second year the body thinks it is starving and goes into safe everything mode. is anyone else having this problem? I'm feeling lonely out here.:think

You know that is a great ?:scared: WW says I should weigh in at 115-139 Hello for me I would look like Miss Anorexia. my Dr said he wanted me at 180. I think I will just know when I arrive at the magic number.

Sabbotage its a real thing.:cry ....I have been battling it all summer. In May I reached my first weight goal sinece surgury. An all of a sudden I went crazy with food.:hungry: .......I have yoyoed 7lbs all summer. it is insane. I think it is because I feel safe being fat. and now people are noticing me because I have lost some lbs It is kind of scary. Still strugling with it.:think

Hi Rett, I went to Dr. Hansen also for my band. What I found out is that no one wants to touch you if you go to mexico:cry . I was going to go to Dr. Kuri too. I love Dr. Hanson and his staff and they are right here in utha in case anything happens. Good luck anillacookie:bandit

C 210 (-60) -8 :biggrin1:

Ditto to what wallisj said.....I am Having a really hard time finding healthy food to eat. Chips, chocolate, ice cream all go down no problem. Chicken meat, vegetables stick like glue. I have been at a plateau for two months and I know it is because I'm just not eating enough.:angry

You guys are good.:clap2: Very good advice. HERE IS MY TWO CENTS WORTH. I have been doing hair for 21years and nioxin is one of the best I have ever seen.:phanvan If it grows your hair back it will not fall out. :biggrin1: My favorits are the cleanser the conditioner and the follicle booster along with the vitamiamins. Those are what my clients have had the best luck with. If you have a Supercuts near you, you can get it there.

:guessOk so my goal for this month would be to lose the six lbs I found in april. Can anyone tell me about the boot camp thing? I think I need to join that this month (may):becky:

I have read all relpies and I'm wondering if we are not just afraid of being skinny? Cuz Peolpe don't really expect alot from fat peolpe. ok here is an example. When i was 340+ and I took my two little kids to the store. I would have a basket full of food and two wiggly kids and the bagger boys or cahier never offered to help me. Then I lost 100+ and every one and there dog opened doors helped me with my bags. ok It made me wonder? where were you people 100lbs ago when I could bearly walk to my car with out having a heart attack? Peolpe don't really take fat people seriouly we are the funny ones we are fun to hang around with the favorit Aunt or Unlce etc. But at work we are hardly ever the boss. Well sometimes men are but you hardly ever see a really heavy woman boss. and execpt for when we are funny we are pretty much ignored. And now here we are making all these changes and entering or rentering the thin world and people are being friendlyer and actualy including us in converstion and stuff. My thing is I am terroified by success. I got my band in june.and I set goals with myself. My first goal was to be to 215 by my first year anniversery. Well I reached it in April. a month early. I was so excited. Then all of a sudden I could fit into size 16s I freked and have been on a binge ever since. I have managed to gain 6lbs. And so I have been contiplating what the heck is wrong with me and then I read these threads and I think it is just scary. it is a whole new world. And it does take time to adjust to all of it. I am very greatful to know that I'm not alone in my struggle to come to terms with this body thing. Thanks tooo allll of you for sharing Anillacookie:biggrin1:

Dawg, Good on ya! Wait no good off ya! lol either way great job.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Anillacookie

I count eveything. I put it on I took if off it all counts right? I don't know??? When I started this band trip I statrted at 270. when my Dr. first wieghted me I was only 261.(Liquide diet for two weeks to see if I could do it.) I count the 270. My pre-band fat days saw me at 340+ I walked myself down to 215 then I got re-married and gain some back that's when my band trip started. So for what it is worth start where you want. Fickley your Amy:gluck:
