Woo Hoo Steph, congrations on the good blood work and the awesome weightloss. Best wishes to you. Dana

Woohoo!!!! Way to go.That's awesome

hi carrie: i remember three months as being a transitional time, too. you get to hang in there and remember to drink all your water. you may actually need to raise the protein intake so your body gets more nutrition and can function more efficiently. it may help to fiddle with your vitamins as well. but most of all, drink your fluids, eat your protein - never at the same time. good luck dorthe

Hello Feb 05 babies! My name is Carrie and I had my surgery in May 05. I have struggled and struggled for 4 weeks now with a plateau and have not lost a single pound. I have lost 38lbs in the first two months , but nothing in my third month. So I thought I would see where all of you were at 3 months post....... Did you struggle emotionally? Struggle with plateau's? Calorie intake? If you had to advise someone that was 1-3 months post, op what would be the TWO most important things you would share with them? Our May 05 board is such a great support, but I was wondering if you had anything to say to someone that is struggling emotionally. No regrets, just wishing the scale would move! Thanks for letting me post.....I soooooo look forward to hearing what you all have to say!!! Carrie 5'9", started at 291, surgery 05/18/2005, lap rny

Keep up the good work everyone. Keep talking and supporting each other. I have been blessed to have lost 185 pounds in the six months.
