Simply put, tried to cross my legs in public, I knew if I could just pullllll my leg over the other one I could do it. But now it's so much easier!! and my leg doesn't fall asleep L 254/190/150 p.s 4-8-05

Hi - I'm looking for advice for my husband. WE both had GBS and today is his 1 yr anniversary. He's done well up to a point. He stopped losing wt at 80 lbs off. Seems like no matter how little or much he eats he just doesn't lose. But then he doesn't gain either. Do you all find that by increasing the amount of protein helps? Is it more water? How about activity. He's joined a gym but can't work out well due to the hanging belly creating numbness and pain in the tops of his thighs. I've started him on Whey Protein shakes at work or a protein bar so that he gets protein in rather than grabbing a carb from the vending machine between bkft and lunch. But he's only just started them so no results yet. We have an appt today with the surgeon for our regular check up. I'm going to ask some hard questions and not let him put us off anylonger. I think perhaps an upper GI is in order to see if the stomach is still pouched properly. Any advice or insights you can give us would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance from a new member!

Hi David - Congrats!! You've done wonderfully. You should be proud of yourself. Today is also my hubby 1 yr anniversary. He's struggling but hopes to continue with his wt loss. My anniversary is next month on the 5th and I've done well also! I'm so excited. Isn't it amazing what difference a year can make?! Melissa
