AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH............I am so annoyed. I have been between the same stupid 5 pounds for 9 weeks. It feels like YEARS. It's like I stopped losing at 5-6 months. And I am thinking about food and craving food all the time. I have to WORK not to GAIN weight now. Sorry-I just needed to vent. Between 140-145 on my Home Scale Between 148-153 on a Doctors *8 pounds more than my home scale* I know- denial.

Hi Diann..on my page I have the pouch rules and a handout that a wls surgeon gave to his patients at 6 months out. Reading these things again may help. Exercise is "natures prozac"....I think it does help you feel better overall. I am struggling between the same 5 pounds for 9 weeks....and I still want to lose. It is really annoying.

Thank you so much GG

Hey Terri, Thanks! I just recently got my hair hacked, colored, and highlighted. When I get a photo put in, I'll share. Gosh

Wow Liz, I would have loved to have been there for the seminar. It sounds like you learned a lot. I too am scared of gaining back the weight I've lost. I hear & read of so many who start eating junk or soda, and yeah maybe right now it doesn't affect them but further down it may. I also worry that I will start eating that stuff because it is so tempting & sometimes tastes good, lol. But I am so happy that I can eat so little now and not feel deprived or feel like I need to eat more & more. I hope this continues and that I am able to maintain for as long as I live. Thanks for sharing with those of us who couldn't make it. TC Elisa
