I seem to be stalled a bit right now too. It's been a few weeks since I've seen any real weight loss. I think I'm just plateauing right now. Trying to keep the positivity about it. If I don't lose something soon, I'm gonna snap! LOL!

I'm still stalled so deciding my next goal is frusterating. I'm hoping that 25 lbs would be do-able.

Woo Hoo! Congrats!

Wow, never happened to me either. Although, sugar and carbs never seem to have any effect on me, aside from making me gain weight!

Glad you decided to come back Mariquita! The support and guidance here is the best!

Thanks for starting the new thread ladydi. Best of luck to everyone this month!

Molly, We're just anxious. I feel the same way sometimes. But RNY...and its side effects, scare the bejesus out of me too. I think we made the right choice, we just need a little patience.

Molly, If you haven't already done it. Try sipping on warm liquids. It seems to help me when I'm hopelessly stuck.

I had a reaction to the morphine drip. I was dry heaving and couldn't keep water down at all. I needed to go back to the hospital and get an IV. That's why I said to make sure you keep hydrated. I don't think there's much you can do for nausea until the anesthesia is completely out of your system.

Supposedly, she used a macrobiotic diet. (I'm sure I spelled that wrong! LOL!) She said she's lost 40 pounds. I'm glad she's getting herself back on track for the sake of Frances Bean.

Lapbandit, Maybe cater their lunch for the day? Possibly a sandwich platter with a large bowl of salad? We have this great deli near me that does gourmet sandwiches and wraps and makes awesome salads with walnuts and blue cheese and cranberries. It shouldn't be too expensive and they'd probably love it.

Congrats! Be careful with the nausea..make sure you take your liquids.

Molly, I'm sure you can make your goal (or at least close) for your bandiversary! I'll be rooting for you!!!!

You don't want to try and eat something too soon, and deal with the consequences. I'd say pass also.

Robin, you look awesome!!! I looked at my "before" pic for the first time since my surgery and almost passed out! YIKES! I had no idea I looked like that! I'll post them after I get back from my cousin's baby shower Sunday. We'll be taking pictures, I'm sure!

Independence Day challenge sounds good to me. Still struggling through this one though. I think I still have a chance of making goal, but I've got to jump start this weight loss.

Well, I'm still on my third fill and am now down 84 pounds, and 10 sizes! I did the happy dance in the fitting room when I tried on a size 20 skirt.

I realized that I have a great personality. I've always been too shy to really open up in front of people. Now, I really enjoy being in social situations and laughing and joking with people. Oh...and I realized there's actually a pretty hot bod hiding in here! (still working it's way out!)

Personally, I feel that if she's happy, that's all that matters.

Don't be discouraged Jo Ann. Not that you haven't heard this a million times, but we all lose at different rates. We're here for support, don't disappear. Faybie....check in girl!

Ipod's are the best! Good luck!!! You can do it!

Wow! My surgeon would never have done it unless there were some other serious health factors involved.

Clarityseeker. Congrats of breaking 50! You go girl!!!

I'm with ya Molly. My body goes through phases.

Amen to that! LOL!!! Good for you for handling the stress and not turning to food!
