Hi Rechelle.... My weight loss had slowed way down also and as it turns out I wasn't eating enough. I had my 6 month check up last week and my nutritionist told me I needed to up my calories to 1000 a day. I did that and I've dropped 4 lbs in 5 days......finally! Last month I only lost 6 lbs for the entire month and I was eating 600-800 calories a day. I eat mostly lean meats and cheese. My nutritionist said we should eat some good carbs like whole wheat bread because it helps control your hormones and gives you fiber and energy. I am also supposed to have a serving of fruit every day and some vegetables. I don't eat sugar or "white" carbs. I hope this helps. I drink 5 17 oz bottles of water a day and go to the gym 3-4 times a week. My one indulgence is that I have to have a cup of coffee to wake up in the morning..... with caffiene My nut told me its okay because the rest of my diet was good... phew! I can't function without it. Scarlette

Got to love this surgery.Best of luck to you.I am still taking the pounds off.. Shelly

My Fellow Marchers! Almost all of us have completed 6 months now. Is it what you'd thought it would be? Has it meet your expecations? Are you still on a weight loss roll? Me personally, I would say it has surpassed my expectations! Who would have "thunk" it that I would be wearing size 6/8 clothes right now after wearing 18's. I am so close to victory I can almost, dare I say "taste it"! LOL The compliments are coming at me all the time now. Some have even said they didn't recognize me at first. Yippee! I am still on a weight loss roll thank God. I need to loose about 20 more pounds and then I am done. Hang in there with me everyone. Some of us are closer then others but we are all here tosupport one another no matter how long it takes! So. . . . . . .Lets roll! Melanie 232/250 130

WOW..... that is so Congratulations! I have 6 more pounds til I get there and its driving me crazy! Keep up the good work! Scarlette
