I finally went over the Century mark!!!!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOO!!! 105 lbs gone forever and my future so bright I have to wear shades. Just went over 10 months and feel awesome. I have had my problems and downfalls but got up and dusted myself off and went forward again. If I can do it I know everyone here can. My next goal is 210 and I am 19 lbs away. That was my goal when i had the surgery and it is still my ultimate goal and I will get there no matter how long it takes I keep on keeping on. I am Successing everyday. Hope this helps someone new or someone who may have fell off and to know you just have to get back on and ride. Take care Robert

Hello, It will be a year for me on Feb. 28th, and I have not lost any weight in about 3 months. I've lost about 80lbs, but it seems Ive been stuck for the past few months. I'm surprised at the fact that in less than a year, I feel like I never even had the surgery. I eat regular sized meals...and I can eat pretty much anything I want. It just feels strange that I would feel so normal now. I know I need to change my workout routine, to maybe jumpstart my weight loss again, and I probably need to get back to upping my protein. I dont do supplements anymore, but Im thinking maybe I should go back to them to boost my protien for a while and see if it makes any difference... It is frustrating, because I thought I'd lose more than 80lbs, considering I was almost 300lbs when I started! Anyway, I guess all kinds of odd things happen at one year out, right? Good luck with your bloating issue, Im not sure what we can do about that...other than keeping a close eye on everything you're eating...I know I had to switch to Lactaid recently, because regular 2% milk was killing me. Maybe it's something you're eating or drinking causing the bloated feeling? Just a guess...sorry I cant be more help. ReggaeDJ

WOW! You are 95 lbs lighter than a year ago! That is a great thing.. you will lose more.. just believe in yourself, your pouch and if you do fall off track just holler and I will hold out a hand to help pull you back up..deal?**smiles** I wish I only had 20 more to lose, alas, I have a lot more to go. Hang in here .. it will all be fine. ((hugs)) RainSpirit

Thank you to all that responded. Don't laugh, but I lost my post... couldn't remember where I had posted it (Blond moment!!!!) I am feeling better about my weight since I have started having coffee with some other RNY people. It's nice to see that I am not the only one still struggling. I am actually exercising more now then I was last summer because I had messed up my left leg with a fall. Now I'm doing curves, and walking again when weather permits. I will keep on, and hopefully, eventually, I will see closer to goal.

Wow Diane, Guess what; you are not alone. I have only lost 97, and my surgerversarry is Feb 5th. I have hit the mother of all platueas too. My family doc said my body is still adjusting and has gotten to comfortable with this. His suggestions were increased exercise; and add weight trainning. We all feel as if the mighty weight monster is still just chasing us! I have even thought that my surgeon didn't do a good enough job. Sometimes I think I can still eat too much?? I had RNY; what do you have? I wish you the best; and hope you find more sucess. Keep the faith and don't give up. Sincerely, Judy R
