Topic: RE: 5th Month, How is it going for you?
Hello,
All I am down to 193 from 259 pre-op 249 day of surgery. I have been at 193 for about 1 month or more so I am officially on a plateau, I am going to start the protein train after cycle time.

Topic: Plateau Buster Needed
Any ideas? I've been stuck for over two weeks now. I started Pilates a couple days ago - and have actually gained a half a pound. I'm trying to contribute that to muscle building exercise (btw, I was cleared for that early, in case anyone is wondering). But I really don't know. I've been a week, week and a half before without losing, but I'm getting close to three now and going the wrong way. I'm getting extremely frustrated. I could really use advice, prayer, or just some positive thoughts. Thanks everybody...

I'm down 71 lbs since January. I lost about 12 lbs before surgery. I had a revision from an VBG (1982) to the RNY and I'm told that with a revision the weight loss is usually slower. I'm exercising 4 to 5 times a week and for once in my life I can honestly say "I enjoy exercising"! I really don't know what size I was in before surgery because all my cloths were the kind that would streach alot and I was streaching them to their limit! Now I can wear a size 18 pants and some 16s. I get in anywhere between 80 to 120 g of protein in daily, all my water and all my vit. I have been getting a B12 shot since 1 month before my surgery and this past month I have begun supplementing with the B12 VitaMist.

Hi Jeannie and all Feb. friends.
I am down 100.5 lbs as of yesterday and what a day it was. I started with my surgeon on January 14th (6 months today), had surgery on February 21st so down 79.5 since surgery, 21 lbs. pre-op.
My daily meals still consist of mainly lean meats and green leafy vegetables. I do sometimes eat cheese, yogurt, fruit, and such but I do keep my carbs down to a minimum.
I just added B-12 sublinguial 2 times a day and a B-1 vitamin because I was tired all the time and it has definitely help. I haven't really lost any significant hair, thank God. Keep waiting for the day and hoping for the best.
I haven't had any problems with foods, just some I don't like -- eggs, sausage, and hot dog weiners, can't even swallow it, can't tell you why except the taste isn't good. I haven't tried any bread, rice, potatoes - scared they make me sick and I'm not missing them so why test the waters 
Wow great to hear your mother is enjoying life and is happy. That is so sweet.
Hugs,
Dana

Thanks for the post Jeanie!
I am down 70 pounds and 47.5 inches from the day of surgery, and 90 pounds from the start of the process (20 pounds pre-op). I am able to do more things, my house is cleaner, I can play tennis with my son for longer than 5 minutes and, the only thing that does not agree with me is white bread and pork. I am down from a size 3X top / 28 - 30 pants to a 22 pants and 18 - 20 (1X) top. Do I regret my decision? Much the same as everyone else, my only regret is I had to wait until I was 45 to do this!

Hi Im down 77 pds. feeling great, finally not as tired as I used to be. I too can eat just about anything which scares me. Hair has started falling out the last month but Im not too worried yet. Still cant get in all the water. I have been stuck at the same weight for about 1 month now but figure thats my body just trying to catch up to all the weight I already lost.
