Pat, I think you are doing great! I had my surgery same day! I have been at the great plateau for about two weeks now. I hurt my back so its been hard to move about.....so as soon as it heals I hope to start the weight loss again. Congrats to the 77 lbs gone forever. Debbie

I was told to take Biotin... Deb

I think you are doing great. I had surgery on the same day and I have only lost 42 lbs and I went for my 3 month check up and my doctor told me how well I looked and told me I was doing great. I have came to the conclusion that all of us are unique and we lose weight at our own pace. I don't think that it means that we are doing anything wrong. Keep your head up. I am the one that should be down I seem to have lost way less than any of the threads that I have read. I have still went from size 28 to size 22 so I know that I am doing something right. God Bless You and don't compare your weight loss to any one else's it is very depressing and I learned that the hard way. Tasha

I with you! I bummed too! My doctor even told me yesterday that he was disapointed. He thought I should have lost more. I am about -60 from surgery day. He told me to strat weight training and up my protein to at least 85grams. I still can't eat but 2 ounces at a time and meat is out. I hate protein shakes but I guess I will just have to choke them down someway.

Oh wow I just posted a message about What is wrong with me.??? after reading how much people have lost. I have lost 55 pounds and my date was June 23rd and from a size 26/28 to 18/20.. So I guess we will have to encourage one another..... Best wishes, Carol
