I know I thought the same thing!!! I have been in the dumps lately too so it must be the 1 yr blues! Who would have thunk! Well I got my "friend" also this week. Not due for 2 more so I don't know what is going on. could be something to do with my quitting the nuvaring. Didn't like it because of breakthrough bleeding but would rather that than every 2 weeks! Geez! Guess if my "friend" didn't show up I would be even more worried!!! Yikes! Twins is enough for this chick! Okay so let's get it together and look at all the good things that have happened in the last year. We have to get over the evil scale!!! We have all come so far! I do have a happy note! Today is my 11th wedding anniversary (10 was anti-climatic since I was drinking broth for dinner and had a jp drain in) and my husband left me a nice care this morning plus sent me a beautiful flower arrangement at work. I don't think he has ever done that! I think I am still in shock! Dawn

Give yourself a break! You ARE NOT A FAILURE! I started at 274, this morning I weighed in at 190! Sure I'm dissappointed, I too wanted to be at 150 by now, but I am trying to remind myself that I did this for my health, not the number on the scale. Good luck!

Hold your head up don't give up... It will come not as fast as you would like but it will come.. I though forever I would never see 130.. But I think it might happen after all.. I've started walking again for about a month now and the scales have started moving again.. I lost alot before when I was walking and able to swim before it got cold... Thats what I miss being able to swim.. Maybe it will warm up and stay soon... Keep up the exercise and you will see the numbers drop.. Crossing my legs for you... GOOD LUCK TO YOU.....

ok my preop weight was 300;bs, today i am at 194. I feel like such a complete failure. I thought for sure i would be at 150 by now. I didnt start exercise until about a month and a half ago. I know I know that was a huge part of my failure. Since I have been working out still no difference on the scale. I know i have lost some inches, but dang I wanna see 150. Help guys and dolls, im very very sad hugs amy

Maybe this is year out syndrome! I too have been dealing with old demons in the food world. Ugggh. I needed a "change". This weird life of a post-op RNY person is too normal for me now. I am enrolling in college, once again and will hopefully be attending at least part time in the fall. I switched offices with a girl from work, hoping a change of scenery would improve my boredom at work. I like the job, the people, the pay, but I'm bored out of my mind, there is no challenge. Now I'm considering cutting my hours from 40 to 30, so I can spend more time at home or working on school. I guess I'm bored with my life, so little things annoy me more, then I "nibble". Suppose we'll muddle through!
