Morning everyone

I'm sorry you are all so frustrated, and trust me I know the feeling - I only lost 25lbs after the first year of rather quick weight loss. I gained a few because I got comfortable and just lost 18lbs and not an ounce in a week and I am still on mushie food and exercising.

Wish I had some good advice other than don't give up and Take measurements! Sometimes you see the difference even if the scale is not moving

Lydiafree - we used to have a group walk in Delaware Park on Saturday mornings but it kept dwindling. When do you walk?

I'm there from 8 a.m. to about 9:30 a.m. Like to get there early so there's parking and it's not too crowded.

When are the support group meetings at BGH? I think that's something I should be getting into. Going this alone is not easy.

Hey everybody - we missed you at the meeting. They finally had someone there to talk about the issues we all face with overeating! It was excellent.

Vicki, can you come to the support meetings? I was tired, depressed and just didn't want to go last night but since I said on this site I was going to bring the pb samples I felt I had to go. Boy am I glad I did! It always makes me feel better to hear I am not the only one struggling.

you know Linda, I always say I'm going to go and then when it comes time I either forget or just don't feel like going...

I too am depressed and have no motivation. I just can't believe this is soo hard, I thought I'll get the band and lose the weight. Ha! Oh well dont want to discourage any new comers, so I will shut up now.

Who was at the meeting, and what did they share with you guys. and what is this pb surprise, I want to try it..:blink:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
