It looks like you lost 105 lbs. Both my son Andrew and I had surgery on 5/13/04. I have lost 115-120 lbs. Andrew has lost about 160 lbs. We have both stopped losing after 15 months. I go to gym and work out and watch my diet but this still stays the same. He eats whatever he wants and does not work out at all and still stays the same. You must be doing really good if you only weigh 150-155 lbs. I started out at 332 and only made it to 210. Andrew started out at 356 and is down to 194. I think it gets harder to lose after 15-18 months and I have not been able to lose much more either. My doctor claims that the window closes at about 18 months. Blessings - Lisa

Hi Chris. I dont have any adivce on how to lose those pounds but I did want to wish you luck on your TT. I dont know how much you eat or how frequently or what you eat but look into less carbs of course. Take care and good luck with your upcoming surgery. I can't wait for mine.

I had my WLS one year check up at 14 months. My WLS Doc said there would be no need for me to have 15 month check up (because I was doing so well) and he would see me next year at my two year anv date (May 10, 2006). He gave me the green light for PS. I am at goal BMI (23) with a body fat of 23%. As you know everyone recovers diffrently from WLS. When and if you have PS will depend on your individual results.

Hey Nat, I'm down 128lbs with approx 37 to go. (I still can't believe it's under 50!) I've been having some major issues with food, water, vitamins, suppliments, etc.... I've been depressed I think over the past couple weeks and as a result, I've been eating bad foods, not drinking like I'm supposed to, not taking my vitamins or suppliments, and not getting much nutrition in my food choices. No doubt all of that is why I'm feeling so down in the dumps and then I feel even worse when I think of how bad I'm being. I've been throwing up a lot more lately because of my lack of liquids so that has been a wake up call for sure. My DB and I talked last night about it and he's going to help me start eating better, working out, and getting back on track. I just need to have a place to vent and cry to when no one else understands what I'm going through. I'm glad I have you guys!! Ciao, Jessica

Life has finally settled down a bit. I was very ill and in the hospital August 1st-11th (non-gastric bypass related) I have been diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) www.potsplace.com Anyhoo..I'm back to work and after loosing 14 pounds while hospitilized I am happy to say I'm back to 150 and holding steady. I was down to 137 in the hospital and I felt "gaunt" at that weight. Mngal 254/150
