Please don't get down on yourself. Everyone has times when they feel they could be doing better. Since my nursing exam is coming up, I have been eating pretty poorly, not working out, and not getting all of the fluids I should. But I try to remember that each day is a brand new one and a new opportunity to get back on track. Yesterday I swam laps AND went to hot yoga and got 3L of water in and felt really good about it. The point is that you have to take each day as it comes and not get hung up on the days before. That's when you start to get depressed and start sabbotaging yourself out of hopelessness. I'm sure you remember that feeling from dieting before WLS.  So Chin up! You are doing awesome and need to give yourself credit for the strides youv'e made not regret those you could have.  Blessings!

 I am starting my 4th week have have been STALLING for almost 3 weeks!  I go up and down 2 lbs.   It is soooooo frustrating.  I didn't go through all this to lose 29 lbs.  argh!  Only my close family can even see a difference.  Does it get better?  Does more cardio help?  I am following all the drs orders for food intake.  It not like a can cheat and go to a fast food joint. 

wow... you look amazing Kimberlin.  Did you call your surgeon or doctors and ask.

THanks! From what I understand my inusrance will only cover "reconstructive surgery" Dec. 31 on the year following the initial surgery. So that means I dont have 18-24 months! Dec. would put me exactly at 18 months and if anything were to go wrong or I needed extra they wouldnt pay for it. So I am in a bind as too when to get it all done!

I had my surgery June of 08, so I am just about 7 months out. I am about 6-10 pounds away from goal weight. I want to start looking into getting skin removal done. Is any one else here with their surgery date in June 08 getting thiers done already?
