Topic: RE: Little worried !!!
Hey Sharon, I have been worried too! I have lost 94 pounds and seems like now every pound lost is like crawling. But we all seem to be at or about the same with our weight loss totals to date...so I'm encouraged that we are right on target! Good luck! And I wear a smaller size at 150 than I did 30+ years agos at 150, isn't that weird!
Topic: RE: Feeling down...Weight has STOPPED
Hi Elizabeth,
I can wear smaller sizes now than I did the last time I weighed this too. And everybody thinks I weigh a lot less than I actually do. That makes me feel good.
Have you been taking your measurements? When I get down about not losing like I want, it always helps to look at my inches lost. When I really got gung-ho about the gym my weight loss dwindled to almost nothing but I lost more inches in that month than I had previously. It really helped to boost my ego.

Topic: RE: 6 MONTH BLUES
Let me tell you a little trick I do....when I really have a temptation for something..cookie(sugarless**** cream(sugarless) fries(honey..never fat free!!)I eat it!! BUT ONLY IN SMALL AMOUNTS......3-4 fries, 2-3 sugar free cookies. I also try and kill the cravings with something sweet but healthy..popcorn, sweet pear or plum...every now and then****ep it under 2x a week)..I give in to the crave!! You wouldn't be HUMAN if you didn't give in a little..but that is it...a LITTLE if you find yourself craving and uncontrollable at stopping it..even with alternative foods..then talk to your Doctor maybe he has a suggestion. But don't feel guilty of these cravings..guilt and depression equal HAVOC to the body and mind..Good luck and God bless!! 
Topic: Feeling down...Weight has STOPPED
I have lost about 92#. The weight had slowed to a crawl, now a complete stop. Okay I can live with being 5'5 and weighing around 170. Guess I was just hoping to finish atleast in the 160's. I keep losing the same 5 pound and gaining them back. I am going to the gym now and lifting weights. I keep telling myslef its all muscle-thats an excuse from the old (fat) days.
One good thing is I can wear a 10. No one beleives I weigh as much as I do. My TINY sister laughs knowing I can wear a 10 at 170, because her friend wears a 10 at less than 150! Anyone else find our wieghts are higher, but wear smaller sizes than others? Is there any hope that this weight loss will pick up again? I had hoped to be -100 at my 9 month check up, but its is apperantly a lot harder than I thought it would be.
Topic: RE: Weight loss has stoped.
Me too. I haven't lost anything for about 2 months, well to be more accurate I keep losing and gain the same 5 everyday. I just keep telling myself its because I have joined a gym. We gotta hang in there though.

I thank you for your response and appreciate the encouragement. I am definately happier now that I am almost 100 lbs lighter I just get discouraged when I dont lose weight sometimes...but my biggest problem is when I look at the scale twice a day. I need to stop...lol...but its hard. Good luck with your weight loss as well. I hope all goes well in the future for you.

I send you prayers regarding your liver and health issues. I also send you encouragement. I have lost that fast either, but as long as we don't eat too much or the wrong things and we exercise, we should still continue to lose as per my Doc. I had surgery on June 27, 03 and have lost about 90 to 100 lbs since surgery (I haven't weighed this month yet) and haven't really been able to exercise due to a hernia and having it repaired.
I'm sure that once you heal from your Gallbladder operation and your doctor makes sure your liver is working correctly, the weight will start to move again. Chin up- every pound is good, as long as it isn't one gained- dont you think?
I bet you still feel better than you would've with all the weight you've lost still on your frame. Good luck!!!!!!!

I can understand the frustration. My mother has a lot of plateaus and even after a year and a healthy appetite, she will suddenly lose a few pounds. You're still in the honeymoon period, so I doubt it has stopped completely. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Topic: Little worried !!!
Hello all. My name is Sharon and I am 7 months post op. I am writing on here because I have been having some complications...such as I just had my gallbladder taken out because I was diagnosed with Gallbladder Pancreatitis...(I think thats how its spelled)...while they were in there they said my liver looked discolored and come to find out that my liver wasnt getting proper oxygen and blood flow. The doctor said that he thought it was because of my gallbladder being inflamed but Im still worried. Plus, I feel like my weight loss it taking forever. I have 94 lbs, but I just feel like its taking awhile...besides all of the excess skin.
