Are any other Junebugs having trouble?? I can hardly keep anything down. I sometimes even throw up water and my protein drink. I can't keep the vitamins down, but have been able to tolerate my regular meds for the last couple of weeks. It is very discouraging to read of people eating "real food" when I am still struggling with liquids!! I have called the doctor and they are supposed to set up an endoscopy. I just need some support!!

Hi everyone I had my surgery on June 8. and i am loving it!!! I lost 87 LBS all together since I started back in Oct. I lost 45 LBS since surgery. I was 280 LBS , and now i am 195 LBS. Here is My question: is 45 LBS since the surgery , too little to lose since JUNE 8th ? because I see MANY people loosing ALOT since THEIR surgery. it is totally making me nuts and depressed. is 45 LBS too little to lose? I am so confused. I am excrising ALOT ...... walking and doing everything i am suppose to do. I have my protien first and then vegies and fruit afterwards. I eat 2 -3 times a day .... if I am hungry i eat 3 times a day I do not snack between meals. I drink my water , herbal tea's and crystal light's This girl I know on another board lost 90 LBS since June 8. is that possible ? or what ?? I say to her , HOW did you loose so fast ?? WOW , but anyway , i am so happy that I had this surgery , i am so soooo lucky ..... Ohhhhh I can't wait to be THIN!!!! My dream is coming TRUEEEE Thanks for reading my post Hugs & kisses Lizzy

Patti, You are not alone. I can relate to how you are feeling about everything you posted. I had a two and a half week plateau recently, then managed to drop 6lbs in three days. I was so worried I had stopped losing weight. I think your body just needs to play catch up. I think setting realistic time frames and doing our best to not beat ourselves up is the only way we can ride out these hurdles yet that isnt as easy as it sounds. Let us know what you think of the Dr. Phil book. I dont mind him too much and have also heard good things about his books. Amy
