Deb, I'm in the same funk you are, I have lost almost 30lbs (went from 230 to 203) and my clothes are just baggy, not falling off, and only one person has noticed my weight loss, my oldest son. Geesh, you woul think 30 lbs would count for something! Its a little frustrating, to say the least, especially when I think I have lost about 1/3 of what I need to lose. Oh well, I must keep plodding along. Jaime

Hi Deb, I've been in a funk as well. The scale isn't moving as fast or as much as I thought it would. My surgery was 7/7/06 and I've only lost about 24 lbs. I know that really is a lot of weight, but it seems like it should be coming off faster. I've been going through some horrible mood swings too. From everything I've read, it's normal. But, that doesn't make it any easier for my husband or anyone else I come in contact with. Anyway...hang in there. It sounds like you've been doing really well. It can only get better...right? See ya! Deanna

Wow, it must be pretty normal to be in a bit of a funk at this point, since so many of us seem to be there! I've lost 30 pounds, too, and I can't tell a difference in my clothing at ALL I am tired much of the time but not sleeping terribly well at night. I am cranky. Some days I can eat pretty well, others I can barely choke down my protein shake (yes, I am still making myself eat, it is just an effort - who would have EVER imagined that I would have to force myself to eat???). I go back to work on Wednesday and I am petrified I will fall asleep at my desk. The good thing is that "cheating" really isn't possible! I decided to have some potato chips today because I have been feeling pissy and I just wanted to. I ate about 6, and that was all I could manage. They tasted ok (not as good as they used to) but I just could not eat any more! Thank you, WLS, I'll take it!!! In the past I'd have finished off half a large bag of chips without thinking twice At least I can still laugh at myself! Jezia
