Kris - Congratulations on your loss. I have lost 42 lbs since March 13, so we are right on the same page it would seem. Remember, everyone losses at their own pace. How many grams of protein and how many calories are you consuming? I understand the discouragement, but remember, this is not a race, and those of us who lose slower, may have less problems with excess skin later on. You just have to keep doing what you are doing and the weight will come off - as long as you stay on track. Have you spoken to your nutritionist? Gone over your daily regimen with them? This will allow them to trouble shoot and find any places that can cleaned up. But remember, you are right on track and I think there are more of us slower losers out here than we know. It's the fast losers that get all the attention, but us slow ones still make it. Take care. Toodles, Robin

Hi March Posties. I feel so discouraged. I had my surgery on March 10th. Thats about 76 days ago. I have only lost about 43 pounds. This is ridiculous. I am getting in my protein. I hardly eat carbs. I played 1 hour of tennis today and that was a big deal..I do hardcore exercise every day at the gym. I dont know what I am doing wrong. Do you guys think my stoma is dilated? I am so worried..help me...

I'm 10 weeks out and I've lost 58 pounds! I'm excited about my results, however I work hard for it. I walk 3 miles a day and I take water classes every day as well. It came off easy the first month, but I found out if I want to see similar results I have to push my body. I also eat six times a day, all high protein foods and I haven't had anything disagree with me. I wish everyone the best of luck..

Hi - My picture isn't up yet. I had my surgery on 3/31 and down 46 lbs. It seems to be s-l-o-w.

Hey there, I had my surgery on March 24th. I am down 41 lbs (as of last thrusday), maybe more now that it is Monday. I feel great. I have gone down 2 jeans sizes. More than that I have gone from a 48DD to a 44D in my Bra. I'm not sure I really want to lose anymore in this area or not but I guess I don't get to chose where it comes from. Congratulations to all on your weight loss and best of luck to those with upcoming surgeries.
