Congrats!!! I have to ask, how did you keep going?? I started at 266 end of May, I am at 186...and the scale has not budged in two months. Last week, I went back to Protein Shakes and bars and light dinner and still scale has not moved. I am working out 5-6 days a week. I thought maybe muscle gain, because I am at a size 14 and last time I weighed this I was at a size 16. But the doctor seems it should be a piece of cake ( no pun) to loose another 30 pounds. I am soo struggling right now and any advice would be amazing! Keep up the great work!

THANK you!!!! I hit a month long stall too at about 8 months so I decided to try Intermittent Fasting... I ate only between the hours of 12pm-8pm and fasted the rest of the time only drinking tea or decaf/sugar free coffee... I did that for 2 weeks and it worked, the scale started moving again. Don't get discouraged, keep up the good work!

I agree, and I am trying to remember I have lost inches and put on muscle, but the np at the doctors office, had me for a loop! My last visit, she said, "oh you have only lost 9 pounds in 3 months" but never said wow 80 pounds gone! So it through me off, like I should have done better. When she asked what my goal was and I said to keep off the weight I have lost and maybe another 20 pounds, she stated 30 would probably be better. I was at a loss

Don't worry about what she is or isn't saying... People don't realize that you have to be mindful of what you're saying to people. Just ignore her and focus on how good you are doing....

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
