Topic: RE: can rouen-y take phentermine?
I took it pre op and it never helped me. It just speeded me up. I was on 35 mg in the morning and 15 mg at 6pm and STILL was not looseing weight. Post op, medications seem to affect me differently. I would be curious to know the answer to this one myself.

Topic: RE: Seriously, how much can you eat?
Hi Julie, I am like you, never made it to goal and have put on 20 [pounds since October. I need help. I tried just cutting out carbs and sweets and eat just protein and water. I have been exercising more, but the weight is not going down. I am sick with worry about it. Of course, I have gotten off track the last few months. BF buys sweets and no-nos and I have had a bite of two, not usually the whole thing. He likes bagels and english muffins, which I try to stay away from, but sometimes so hard. I figure a piece off of his can't be so bad, but I am just not doing well. No food bothers me, I never dumped. I could always eat anything from the beginning. (Diane from Dr.C's office, if you read this, HELP ME!)

Topic: RE: Having Trouble~~~~Losing TOO much
I,too, stopped losing at 1 year out and only lost -90 pounds. I have put on 20 pounds since October and can'tseem to lose it. I am beside myself. Any advise. I needed to go another 30-40 pounds after the -90 loss. Tell me what you are doing.

Jan,
I see old eating habits sneaking back as well. I don't have any ideas for you--I'm still working on them for me. But at least you know you aren't alone. I've always been a stress eater; I don't know how to change that.
Best of luck; you will pull through. Just remember that taking care of yourself must be a priority.

Topic: RE: Having Trouble~~~~Losing TOO much
I lost too much too but was able to stop it by eating more sugary foods. Now that I'm where I want I eat regularly (with some junk thrown in).
Did your doctor mention enzymes? My surgeon mentioned this to me when I was getting too low. Apparently, taking them can help slow/stop the wt. loss (at least for the DS). Perhaps it'd be worth calling him and mentioning it.

Topic: RE: I'm just a loser
Hi Alice,
I am in a rutt with grazing. I eat a little bit but it seems like I am doing it all day long. I finally sat down and made myself a schedule with 3 meals and 3 snacks and the times that I would eat them and MAKE myself stick to it. The scale is headed down again for me, now that I have the grazing under control ( well, for TODAY it is under control...)
try making yourself a meal plan for the day and include snacks, but limit yourself to what is on your meal plan. I know how hard it is.
