Had surgery April 19th 07, weight loss now non exsistant

I have basically stopped loosing weight and did like 8 months out, i have lost about 100 pounds but still about 40 pounds over weight, im bouncing around between 172-178! anyone else having the same prob? Anyone heard of have the revision to have your pouch smaller again?

Actually I went to a obesity help seminair and they were talking about revision and their is help out for those who stopped losing weight and u do have options and all is not hopeless. I sure wish i was 172 but for now I am happy being under 200 something i still cannot believe I REALLY am Lisa

It's called stomaphyx. They make your pouch smaller. My doctor does it here in Las Vegas. Jan

I have been 210 forever.. since before a year out. I've bounced up to 218 and got as low as 205 but never anywhere else. I don't eat much and keep my cals around 1200 a day. (some days a little more some days less) I also have about 40 lbs left to loose. I feel great though and even though I'm technically still obese, I'm still thankful for how far I've come. But hey, I would LOVE to loose the last bit and be 'normal' on the BMI chart. I'm with ya in the battle for sure, and your not alone! -Shakeira

I could have written this reply exactly as you did.

I weight exactly what you do in the same weight bouncing area.

I eat the same cals as you.

I also feel great.

I thought you should know that you are not alone also.

Yep, I'm in the same boat. My pouch isn't any bigger-my problem is that I had started to graze on "slider foods" all the time. Now that I can tolerate them, bread and other bad carbs had come back into my life in a big way. When I discovered I could eat an entire english muffin sandwich, I knew it would be way too easy to go back to my old habits. Last week I finally realized that I needed to cut out ALL grains, and the scale has started to move down again. Basically, I'm eating meat, protein drinks, fruits, dairy, and veggies. That's it. 100 gms of protein a day no matter what. I never wanted to have to "diet" again, but I'm just one of those people who has to. Have you tried cutting back on carbs? Or, are you strict with your plan and still can't lose?
