Traci, Hi looks like you have done great, and you sure don't want to go back to the fat person we have all been,you have come too far and been through too much, you gave yourself the answer in your post go back to what you know you are supposed to eat, maybe you should plan and allow yourself a treat once or twice a month only, put your before picts on the fridge, even those who have never been heavy don't overindulge often,do this for your own mental and physical health, I think you are still in the (window of oportunity) they talk about so, get with it! you know what to do,signed MOM LOL, Seriously, do what you know, excersize,water, protein DO I HAVE TO COME OVER THERE!!! take care Marcia

Hey Traci, Well I feel your pain cuz when I hit my year I had not lost a pound in months and was juggling between 158-161. (about) I wanted to be at 150 for my TT and thought that would never happen. Well out of the blue I just weighed in at 151. I dont know how or anything it just happened. I am bad with excersice so I feel your pain. I say you are still loosing and just going in a plateau. This can still happed for us. So hold on and be patient. I would recommend you getting in more water. I hate water and I remember that I drank more water that week. I dont know if it was the trick but hey who knows. Good Luck, NAT and by the way you look great!!!!!!!

Hey Traci!! You are doing great!! Everyone hits a plateau now and then and my surgeon told me I would still have another year to lose weight after I hit my one year anniversary. And he was right!! I thought I was going to stay stuck where I was and then out of the blue, I started losing again. I don't now and have never exercised, I am just bad, bad, bad about it. Jus****ch what you eat, make SURE you get your protein and water in and you'll be surprised!! Also, don't be too hard on yourself, because it just sets you up to go back to your old eating habits. Keep up the great work and take care!! Laura

Sweetie, I know it is hard. I havent lost anything either in ages. From what I hear, you can still lose nicely up to 18 months post op. I feel like I cant eat way too much, and exercise is not one of my specialties. I am thankful it is summer and I love to swim. I hope you get back on track, you look amazing- Melissa
