Awe thanks so much! your doing fantastic too! I just looked at your profile and new picture and my goodness what a big differnce! you look GREAT!!!!! as for the whole change over,Geisinger has several Bariatric clinics,their clinics do the same thing with visits to Nut,blood work,and such too,the clinics are located right in the hospitals and it is very convienent,the reason I didn't get my bloodwork friday is that the lab was so packed and I didn't feel like sitting there for a hour or so,so I decided to wait until monday and have it done.I have no patience for waiting for stuff like that! lol.... My surgeon's office is actually down 2 floors from the clinic! The clinic I am going to is the same exact way so it is no differnt that what I am used too,I actually started there at the beginning of the journey,lol...now I am ending up there! I just decided to go to the Wilkes Barre clinic beacuse it is closer,the only concern is that I just need to adapt to the new Dr. I 'll adjust!!! Nancy

Thanks everyone! It's great to hear encouragement from people *****ally understand. There is no looking back and I will to continue the journey with a smile!! Romey

Hi Romey! I am SO GLAD that you posted! you are VERY WELCOME here and hope that you will stick around with us! this board has the greatest bunch of people you will love to get to know! To answer you questions best I can: Best thing you can do is not compare yourself to others Romey everyones weight loss is so differnt,we all have started at differnt weights and heights and metabolisms and surgery types. first off A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!!!!! 57 pounds is AWESOME!!!!!! and you should be very very proud of that! as for the scale not moving,it is NORMAL,I went through a major drought too for almost a month and I know there are several here that are going or have gone through this as well. It is your body catching up! and I assure you it will move again! usually when you least expect it!LOL...just be patient,it is hard because it is a very annoying and trying time but just hang in there! as far as what you are doing sounds like you are doing exactly what you are supposed to! If you are in question I would call your nut and go over your menu with her/him and make sure that you are eating the correct carbs and fats in your calories. I honestly think you are just in that funk stage of catching up. Please keep us updated!! ((hugs)) Nancy
