Thank you! Glad to know I am not the only one. The hungar is worse some days than others, I have been doing great, but it seems lately the water retention and constipation get me. I was up 4 lbs this morning, there is no way I ate enough to gain that much. I drink 100oz of water daily so thats not it either. The support here is priceless!
Most of the time the scale is slowly creeping down , my next goal is onederland - woohoo

Yes Happy Friday!!!

PS - I am able to eat 1/2 - 1 cup of something (stirfry, soup etc.,) how about you?

I am so jealous.  I had lost 68 pounds at my 6 months and as of 8 months I am only down 74.  I cannot believe how slow the weight loss is going. I weighed 319 at surgery and am down to 245.  I have lost a lot in size I went from a 30-32 3X - 4X top and 30T pants to 14-16 top and 11-13 pants.
I am concerned about the amount of food I eat mostly protein three meals a day I have trouble getting enough protein and blame that on the reason iI am so tired all the time.  I have no energy. I eat fish mostly - tuna salad - celery, onion, pickle egg and tuna w/low fat mayonaise or Crab with celery and low fat mayonaise.  I crave variety, but focus on the protein foods. 

Suggestions????

Hey Bonnie,
2 weeks ago I had my 3rd fill & last week had my 1st PB...not nice !! Prior to this last fill I was able to eat anything & didn't matter how much, it all went down, now , not so much.  My Dr. reminded me of the rules, only 1/2 - 3/4 of a cup of food & to excersize (  i'm just starting ), so i hope that kicks in the weight loss.  I am grateful for not gaining... that's a miracle for me !!!!!
I also thought i had a leak, since i could eat anything, he assured me he pulled out some saline,before he injected, therefore,no leak.  So I think we need to  just get with the program.
Good luck to you & don't compare your weight loss to everyone, we all lose at different rates  !!
Take care,
Jan

I have an update to my update!  I went shopping today and now I can fit comfortably into a size 12!  YAY ME!  So now I am down from a 22W to a 12!  I still wear Large tops though.  Haven't moved into Mediums yet. 

I figured I would more lose weight in my breasts than I have.  Before I gained all this weight starting in my early 30's, I was a B cup and now I am down from a DD to a D.  I just thought I would lose more up there.

I am pleased with everything also - I have lost 123 since beginning this journey - 30 on the pre-op diet and 93 since the surgery.   It seems to be slow now but I know I am doing what I am supposed to, but have my moments - who doesn't I guess.   I have gone from a 3x top to a ladies large or Xl depending on the style.   Pants are now a 16 from 26/28 so its all good! 

My labs came back great and best of all no more diabetes - woohoo

Where has the time gone since February?
