Follow the Plan and Don't Get Discouraged with Road Blocks

[Texas Red 1]

I had my surgery on 3/2/11 with BMI of Texas in San Antonio. I went into surgery at 322 lbs and as of this morning I am 257 lbs. I have had one stall a week after surgery that lasted nine days and another this past week of 7 days. The two stalls really bothered me, but just as I read on this forum, they were temporary.

I also had a three week battle royale with the gout in both knees and ankles, so my exercise has been limited until last week. This surgery is a great tool and I am still getting my 'sea legs' as far as broadening my food choices. I got overly ambitious on two occasions with poor outcomes...

Hang in there and you will be successful. With the road blocks I have had, when I look at my results so far, I realize these are just slight impediments to a healthier way of life.

I wish the absolute best to all of you.

Wow! You've lost a lot of weight- and with some "roadblocks"! Good for you!
