April I had my surgery on 2/6/2007--I have lost 87 lbs since then and 68 before surgery a total of 155 lbs.. I have had several Plateaus where i stopped losing weight and then had a big loss afterwards--i have gotten a little down about it..-I have never gained any weight tho-- But i see that alot of people have hit plateaus where they did not lose for a little while then had big losses after--I did not see anyone who had gained--i do not understand if you are saying that you have gained and lost the same over and over thats what it seems.. I have consistently been losing--I am tall and my goal weigh tis 198 lbs.. So i would love to be 200 lbs! i started out at 448 lbs when i first started the Gi Nutrtion program in Danville PA lasy year in feb 2006 and now i am finally under 300 lbs!! I am soo happy about that--So now i weigh about 293! i still have 95 lbs to go-- Don ot get discouraged too also you are gaining muscle more than likely from the exercisint you are doing and that is good.. I cannot exercise much cause i have diabetic complications and am not very active--I think i am doing very well for a person who can barely walk--and i keep praying that the neuropathy in my legs and feet will get better.. But anyway--do not get discouraged and do not get obsesed with the scale.. I am praying that you have a big loss! What is your goal anyway? Are u tall or short? I am tall and big boned so it works to my advantage.. Blessings--SUSIE Smith from PA

I had surgery Feb 12th and i have been losing the same 5-6 lbs for the last month.. I am getting very discouraged. I have lost 66 lbs since surgery and 95 since January.. I just hope that this is not it for me.. I don't want to be stuck at 200.. I am not perfect and i do have my moments but i don't go over 1000 calories in a day. I drink all my water and protein and i exercise at least 3 times a week.. I am trying to stay positive but it is really hard. Has anyone else experienced the same thing??? April

Yeaaa for you. I know we wish the weight could be gone over night. I know I did. I had surgery on 2-7-7, started at 260, and am down to 170. Somedays a few pounds less. Thats 90 pounds. I was wearing size 24-26 pants, and now yesterday I put on a size 14. I had to grab my heart, I could hardly believe it. I have a tummy too. I know I will need plastic's, but I am going to try and do what I can myself first. Keep up the good work yall !!! Deb

Thank you Judy for telling us..I have a Calcium deficiency and i am out 6 1/2 months and my Nutrtion doctor (Dr Still) gave me a prescription for Vitamin D and i have to go back for more blood work in 2 months actually my visit was on July 18 so i have to go for more blood work in like 3-4 weeks now.. And i have to take an extra calcium citrate chew so i take 3 calcium chews and the extra vit D capsule which i have to open and put the liquid on my tongue--I do give myself my own B-12 shots monthly as i am anemic and my prime doc insisted that i take enough of B-12 and i am diabetic and i have neuropathy so i do not need any more nerve damage.. I pray that the next blood work comes back better--it is so hard to keep up and i do my best to make sure i remember my things--I pray everyone else does too.. Blessings--SUSIE Smith from PA
