Onederland' date=' yeah. Congrats. I seem to lose a pound every 3 days now. Talk about slow go, I think I've definitely slowed down. I hope fora little spurt of a lose of 3 or 4 before I hope on the scale.

Oh yeah Marla a little secret: I hop on it every morn too, and I've gotten to the point where I try not to a let no lose bother me. That is how I have been able to determine a loss of 1 / 3days. Blah :-P

This is my 4th friday weigh in at 265. I am so frustrated. I went out of town this week. I walked my legs off people every day this week. I did not lose a single ounce and my clothes are still fitting the same. I am going to talk to my doctor today. I have been upping my exercise and watching what i eat. Getting in protein and water and taking all of my vitamins. I am so over this. I never thought I would say this but this is beginning to look like a waste. I have hit the 21lb mark and that is it. I had so hoped this time would be different.

I just got back from a visit to my doctors office. My blood pressure is up and I am up to 268. The surgeon said that was fine that i was doing good. WTF ever. I felt that the doctor did not even listen to me or my concerns. He doesn't not a give a crap if I have lost weight he only wanted to get through the appt and be done. I really chose the wrong group with this bunch. I have not seen my surgeon since the day he did my surgery. I have seen the 2 other surgeons in the office and they don't have clue about me or what I have had done. I am so upset I just don't even know what to do at this point. I tried to explain that I have not lost a single ounce or inch since week 2. I am now 6 weeks out. But he said I have lost 16lbs. yep I weighed 284 the week before surgery. I am only down 16 f*%$^ pounds since surgery. really???? He feels that is just great. But we all know that it is not. I should have known this was too good to be true. I am so done.

I'm sorry for the health problems you are still having. Also, for the lack of weight loss. Did you see your nutritionist? If you're unhappy w your surgeon, is there a way you can switch to another one that is willing to listen and help? I really don't know how that works but there has to be a remedy. Your insurance shouldn't continue to pay for office visits when there is no outcome or plan of relief from the health issues you're having. Those ideas other than speaking to your Nut is all I can think about to offer any helpful advice.

I am 8 weeks out now, and only have lost 20 lbs, now at 190, I wish I could not weigh everyday so depressing.....

Congrats to being in the 100's... That itself is an awesome accomplishment. How tall are you? What is goal for you? I do know that the closer you get to goal the slower it can come off and those of us who have less to lose, lose slower. Just hang in there...

I honestly have no idea. I will see the nutritionist this thursday. I know i may sound like a negative Nelly but the Nutrionist at this office are all fresh out of school. Not a single one of them is more than 22 yrs old. They all contradict each other. It drives me nuts. You can never get the same answer twice. The last one i saw said i could move up to soft foods I said ok. I ask for a few examples of soft food she said other than eggs she really wasn't sure. :/. The doctor told me I could move on to regular food now. I have no clue what i can and cant eat., I really hate that I have done this now.

My goal is basically the same as yours and I'm 40 shy of it. I think I will change the goal when I get closer by dropping 10 more, to 130 or even only 5 to 135.

Congrats Marla and NieNie

Ugh, sorry to hear that. May I ask about how many calories you get on an average day. I'm going to assume you get all your protein. My problem lately is getting all the water in.
