Son't be ashamed. So many of us have experienced the same thing. I must confess, even with eating a piece of Butterfingers every day I still loose my weight. Perhaps you should have another surgery. He may not have made your pouch small enough. Don't sweat the small stuff. I'd do it again to be sure I'd have my weight loss. Warmest regards, Cindy

I went to my surgeon today and he told me that I have gained 11 lb since last march and if I dont lose it plus more, that he is going to have to go back in and operate again. Does anyone know why he would do that? I have been put on a low glycemic diet. No more kisses (candy). Advice would help, Im blue. Huuggs to all

HI Mary Ellen! Congratulations on all of your success! I too have days like you've described~some days I eat very little, some days seem "normal" and there are those days when I'm a bottomless pit! Its weird and a little scary! I love wheat thins too, LOL! Let us know when you post a new pic so we can check it out!!!!! Hugs, Tracy B

Hey fellow January buddies! My 2 yr anniversary is the 31st of this month and I am doing good. Highest weight was 280, preop was 255 and up until a couple of months ago was staying between 157 - 160 pounds. I did go up to 164 pounds after starting antidepressants in October and then holiday snacking, but am getting back on track and today weighed in at 161 pounds. I weigh at least 3-4 times a week and that helps me keep track of where I'm at. Due to a lot of work stress and travel I really slacked off on exercise but am recommitting myself.....started water aerobics this week and need to add some strength training. My surgeon was pleased with my weight at the 157-160 range and doesn't want me to lose anymore, but of course I'd like to get down to 150. Not sure my body will agree with that, but hey, a girl can dream! I'd love to have a tummy tuck as I've got a lot of skin & underlying fat in my panni, but insurance won't cover it. Sometimes I still feel really fat because of that panni...it's a constant reminder, but when I get in those ungrateful moments I put on the jeans I wore the day of surgery and that helps to put it all in perspective. I sometimes get a little scared about the amount of food I can eat now. Some days I fill up really quickly and other days I feel like a bottomless pit. Anyone else have that? Still do 2 protein drinks a day and continue to have problems with fibrous veggies and foods. Why are Wheat Thins so much easier to eat than broccoli? lol I need to post a new picture as the one on here was 6 months postop!! Mary Ellen

Congratulation, you look fantastic!!! Hugs from Germany Vanessa
