UGH

Kate, Just know that we here on this board are with you!! I hope that they can help you! It would be very scary to not be able to stop losing weight. We do this surgery to be healthy. Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!!! Take care and keep us updated!! Becky P.

Kate, Hugs, Hugs, Hugs. You have been through so much lately. You are such an inspiration! I also want to say thanks for your post. We are living the exact same situation. Surgeon and nutritionist are concerned about the speed of my loss and want me to stop, I was comfortable enough to stop 5 lbs ago even though my original goal was lower. I now consume about 1500 calories per day and have cut my exercise drastically. I feel like I eat all day, one shake, melted protein bar or piece of cheese after another, I have also been adding alot of crackers becuse of the calories and because I can disolve them in my mouth and get them down. I am still losing about 2 lbs per week. My stats are a little different than yours, I am 2 inches taller but started out 47 lbs higher than you. I have cut my running from 5-7 miles, 5-7 time per week to 5-7 miles 3 times per week and I do Pilates most days, probably 5 days per week but I do that because it is helping with the skin issues some. I have a scope to stretch me scheduled for the day after Thanksgiving. I need to be stretched because I have a stricture. Just remember you always have hugs here, we love ya' and are here for each other. And thanks for making me feel normal. Hugs, Becki 1/18/05 297/135/130???(Original Goal) 5'8"

Oh my sexz beast I will say at 5 foot tall and 122 I know what you are sayin and I think two months ago doc said I wont get lower than 130 135 so I dont know whats goin on here eighter but... I hope you soon fig something out or they big man upstairs fixes it all for you!!

Hugs Kate! I don't have your problem, I've still got 13.5 lbs to get to the surgeon's goal of 150 lbs. but I started 22 lbs heavier than you (same ht.) My weight loss has slowed down to 5-6 lbs a month, so I'm more worried about not getting to my goal (MY goal is 142 lbs). But I can't imagine how scary not being able to stop losing must be for you. I hope the docs figure it out soon and that the "cure" doesn't require medical intervention. Hang in there! Vickie J. 277/163.5/150...142

Good luck Kate Many Hugs coming to you God bless, Syndi

I am sorry you are going through this Kate *BIG HUGS* Take care and try and keep your chin up!! Deanna

Waaahhhhaaaa... my Kate is in distress! NO!!! Not fair! OK Kate, you know I would give you huge hugs right now if I was closer to you! We'd just sit on the couch and cuddle your blues away... I am sooo sorry that you are going through this. Going from one extreme to another has got to be the scariest thing in the world. I hope that they get your referral and dilation done ASAP instead of this who 4 week wait thing. You should be priority, this is absolutely rediculous. You are right, at your current rate, you will not make it to their appointment! WTF!?! I need to come cook for you! I can guarentee that I could "fatten you up" with some southern cooking! Where's my bacon fat? LOL! I have not been able to cook like that in years! LOL! OK, come on... laugh dang it, that was funny! If you need to vent just send me an IM! I love you girl! You can make it through this nightmare! You are stronger than you let yourself believe girl! BIG CYBER HUGS~ Jamie
