I find that if I change my routine, I eat better. If you have a schedule, change it. Just like exercising, you do the same routine day after day, and you no longer see results. Try a different item. Something you haven't had in awhile, or something you never thought that you would try. Spice things up. I wanted lasagne, so I made a squash one. No meat, but cheese, sauce, and lots of squash. You will get out of the funk, I had mine at month 4. So I can feel for you. It takes a few weeks to get passed, but you can do it. You have come so far, what is a few weeks. Good luck to you, and have a blessed day. CONGRATULATIONS....76 lbs, you are doing wonderful

I am 5 months post op and have had no complications. I have lost a total of 62 pounds and I only have about 50 more to go until I reach my goal. My BMI has went from 45 to 33. I am greatful for all of you who gave me words of encouragement and understanding. Thanks to all.

"Finally seeing some light at the end of this LONG, DARK, tunnel." I have lost 150 lbs in 5 months. Thank you God, the freedom is wonderful!!....Cindy from PA 555/405/?

I had surgery on 6/26 as well. Seems we are having the same kind of luck. I have lost 95 lbs. It has been kinda slow the last 2 weeks and I was afraid I was in a plateau then yesterday 5 lbs were gone. I was elated. I started off with a bang and exercised as soon as I could. Then I got sick and it got colder outside and I stopped walking. I started walking again Tuesday of this week and I firmly believe if I keep exercising it will keep coming off. I too have had my hair falling out in drones. I have very thick, curly hair and to see it falling out like this is really freaking me out. I don't eat the amount of protien that I should and I don't drink the amount of water that I should either but I work on it everyday. I am so proud of you not being on any medicine anymore. It is such a relief to hear success stories. I just had to let you know. Keep your chin up...and keep us updated.

WOW... so hard to believe it has been so long... don't seem that long ago. Well I have been fortunate in losing the weight... and for the most part I am sure the loss is due to surgery. I have not had any complications from the surgery except that I have a hard time getting the protien in daily but getting better... and I did begin the loss of my hair.... but now I have other problems not at all related to the surgery and dealing with that is hard. I was at a size 28 and 30 before surgery and now I am finally back into my size 20's which is great!!! I feel so skinny already and still have 60 or so more pounds to go. I am glad i kept all those old sizes so I don't have to buy much till I actually get down to a normal size! Well hope everyone is doing well ..... thanks for reading my message! Good Luck!
