Topic: RE: AFRAID I'LL STOP LOSING
85 lbs lost since 3/24 is certainly an acceptable range. Some do more (as I have) and some less. My wife had her surgery as few days after your and has lost 85 lbs. Doesn't sound like you've messed anything up. Usually, things slow down a bit after 5-6 months. If you have a genuine concern, contact your nutritionist or surgeon, but it seems to me like you're right on track. Meantime, track your calories, make sure you're getting in enough protein, drink your water and exercise. It'll all work out. Greg (342/214/178)

Topic: RE: AFRAID I'LL STOP LOSING
Hi Autumn, I really don't have the answers to your questions. I do know that the loss will slow down after a certain amount of time and I am sure it varies from person to person. Personally I don't weigh myself ever at home only at the surgeons office every 3 months. I know that I am doing the right thing and the amount of weight I lose doesn't matter to me as much as the fact that I am losing. I think 85 lbs since March 24th is phenomenal. Seems to me you are doing wonderfully! I wonder though why you feel that way, have your eating habits changed? Do you feel as though you are doing something wrong? If not, I would relax and enjoy, the weight will come off! Congrats! Jean

Topic: AFRAID I'LL STOP LOSING
OH MY GO****S SLOWING DOWN ALREADY! AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG? MY AUNT HAD A FAILED WLS, WILL THIS HAPPEN TO ME? DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW HARD OR EASY IT WOULD BE TO MESS THIS UP? I'VE LOST 85 LBS SINCE MARCH 24 2005. HOW DO I KNOW IF I'VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG? HOW MUCH WRONG DOES IT TAKE TO BE A FAILED WLS?

Topic: RE: Slooooooow weight loss this month..
Hey Scarlette: I posted about this same thing just a week or less ago. Since then, I've lost 5 lbs! My loss had slowed and I was starting to think negatively. We all know what that brings on - depression and food. But I didn't let it get the best of me, kept on doing what I was doing, and the numbers are going down again. I'll bet there are hundreds of posts like ours on here; this must just be a natural weight loss progression. Just tell yourself that this slowing period will pass! Carole T.
