Hello Tiff, Congratulations on the 67 lb loss!!! That is really Great, over half way to your goal and not even 6 months out. You are my surgery date sister, we had our surgeries on the same day!! I think you're doing fine, we all hit a plateau or two sooner or later, your body is just triing to catch up with all your weight loss. When I've hit a plateau I always increase my protien and try to take out all carbs. Also make sure you are drinking LOTS of water. And if I read correctly, congratulations on your pregnacy!!! I'm sure that make a difference also with your stall. Keep up the GREAT work and don't worry, it willl start coming off again, you've already come a long way!!! Lynette

PREGNANT(only 6 weeks YIPPEE!!!)! I've been loosing and gaining the same darn 3 lbs for a month now. I've fluctuated between 206 and 203 since the mid of Dec 06. I've increased my protein and decreased my intake of all food (mainly because EVERYTHING makes me nauseated). I don't really know what else to do. I walk 1.5 miles a day. So I"m still exercising. HELP?!?!?!?!? Thanks! Tiff

86. To walk by those reflecting windows and not look the other way 87. To hear my father-in-law say, "I can get my arms around you twice", during a hug hello 88. To hear my husband say "oooohhh you're sooo skinny!", or "look at your tiny butt" 89. To no longer fear the amuzement ride will break should I dare to get on one again 90. To never again have the mortifying embarassment of being handed a seatbelt extension on an airplane 91. To no longer fear someone will be thinking "please don't let her sit next to me" on a plane,train, bus etc. 92. To have my co-workers give me lots of credit and encouragement and praise while knowing that I did have WLS, and thinking I'm courageous! 93. I think #84 deserves a second, but I'll add that I now get asked for weight loss advice! 94. To have energy after work to be able to do something other than sit and watch TV 95. To be able to just stand up from a sitting position, rather than shift, lift, push and struggle 96. To be able to get down onto, and up off of, the floor with ease, rather than having to take into account whether once I'd gotten down if I'd even be able to get back up without having to call for assistance. 97. To greatly reduce my fears of having multiple strokes and ending up bedridden like my mom. 98. To soon be thinner than my sister!!! 99. To no longer weigh more than my 6'2'' brother! How embarassing that was! 100. To not have to push the car seat back in order to fit behind the wheel 101. To have met all the wonderful, supportive, friendly, awesome people on this board, at the weight loss meetings, at the hospital, and of course to have met my life saving doctor. Dr. Roye, you rock! And you're gorgeous inside and out!!!!!!!!! I'm new to this forum. Didn't even know it was here until a couple weeks ago. Pam

I slacked big time this week! 3. How much weight did you lose? Total loss? I don't weigh weekly so I cant say for sure. I do know I've lost 77 lbs since surgery and 98 since two weeks before surgery. lol that liquid diet really done a good job. 4. What was your biggest challenge? exercise- its hard to stay motivated 5. Have you started a plastic surgery fund? If applicable, can you help us with ideas on how to make it happen? Gosh No- I sure wish I was able to though. I've heard some people finance cosmetic procedures and some insurance companies will pay for this. *Fun bonus question: What are you Valentine's Day plans? I'm hoping my honey has something huge planned...We'll see.

Hi, Jan! and all! Still feeling kinda crappy, but hopefully by Monday I'll be back on track. 1. What types of food did you eat this week? cottage cheese, yogurt, SF Pudding (tried the new Dulce Le Leche, Mint Chocolate Fudge, and Mochaccino flavors from Jello, YUMMY!), SF Popsicles, SF Angel Food Cake & Strawberry Trifle (homemade), Lasagne (Homemade), Peas, Chicken, Scallops, Crab, Artichoke, Goat Cheese, Green Beans, Shrimp, and Clam Chowder. 2. What types of exercise did you do this week? I didn't do crap. I've been a couch potato for most of it. I'm hitting the gym to do some simple cardio this weekend. 3. How much weight did you lose? Total loss? I lost at least 4 pounds this week, wahoo! Down 84 pounds for sure. 4. What was your biggest challenge? The pain from my surgery. It's been hard to eat. 5. Have you started a plastic surgery fund? If applicable, can you help us with ideas on how to make it happen? I've just recently started looking at PS websites and checking out different types of surgery. I'm working on building my credit, but I don't see it happening any time soon. I don't have that type of money. *Fun bonus question: What are you Valentine's Day plans? Well, I hope that my husband and I will be doing something. I think I'm going to leave a sheet of paper laying around with random ideas on how to surprise your wife for Valentine's Day. Hehe. He's so not romantic and I've never wanted it until now. The doc says it could be weight loss related. Different things are happening physically and mentally now. Who knows. Have a good weekend, all. Amber
