Topic: RE: Looking for other slow losers!
Thanks for the responses!!! It's nice to hear I am not the only one out here moving bit by bit to lose weight. Like some of you I have had no complications and nothing, including sugars, bother me the least. I know I need to be extra careful since Iam so tolerant. Well, I am off to the gym now. My 6 month appt. is tomorrow. I am going to hold my head high and be thankful for all I have accomplished so far!

Topic: Cheetos
I don't know why but I started eating Cheeto's this weekend while we were staying with friends and I couldn't seem to stop. It wasn't like I ate a whole huge bag like I used to do, but it was 4 or 5 here and then 4 or 5 there ... finally I had 4 or 5 more and got a very sick feeling in my pouch. thank goodness that's all it took and I'm now staying away from Cheetos! This is why I won't buy anything like this to keep in the house ... I can't stop myself from eating it!
Isn't it amazing how easily we can slip into those old ways?

Hello Everyone!!!
You're definitely not alone. I haven't responded much to the posts either because I was embarrassed that I wasn't keeping up with everyone else. I'm also a slow loser. I've only lost 51 lbs since my surgery on July 7, 2006. I started at 204 and am now at 153. However, I know the slow weight loss is my own fault. I don't always eat like I should. I have a hard time getting in the protein. It seems like everything I love is a Carb. (my weakness is chips and green sauce from Gringo's Mexican Food!) I'm also having a hard time getting in the water. Before surgery, I could easily drink 6-7 bottles of water a day. Now I'm LUCKY if I can get in 3. But, my New Years resolution is to get myself on track and strive every day to do the best that I can. It'll come off, eventually. I'm determined to get on a regular exercise routine, drink my water, and get in the right amount of protein.
Good luck to you all! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. 
Sincerely,
Deanna

Hey, Julie
I'm right there with you, slower weight loss than most. But it IS coming off, even if it is a little slow. Since I've never lost 65 pounds in 5 1/2 months before in my life, OR lost weight over the holidays even if it was just a couple of pounds, I'll take it! And so far I don't have skin issues, or hair loss, and have had no complications.
Size 28 to size 20, how terrific is THAT? Sounds like you are doing GREAT!

Hi Julie,
I'm also a slow loser. I'm 5' 7" and started at 290. I'm down 70lbs to 220. I'm grateful for each and every pound I've lost, but it gets hard not to get discouraged when other post ops from July are losing much more weight than I have. I don't have any problems tolerating food, and I think if I'm not really careful this could be a problem. Best wishes for the new year.

Hi Julie...first of all CONGRATS on the weightloss....I had RNY July 26, 2006 and I am a slow loser too...I have only lost 60 lbs to date...I started out at 315 (before surgery) 309 (day of surgery) 247 (currently)...I have been working out since before surgery just doing about 15 min on treadmill because I would get winded real easy but now I walk at a 3.5 for 1 hour and I listen to or watch tv and on the comercials I actually run...I have gone from a size tight 28 pants to a 20 - 22 depending on who is making them...I have noticed that I don't get in all my protein or water, water hurts my tummy...but I am trying....and the protein is tasting really icky to me right now....but eventually we will reach goal and be proud of ourselves...
Topic: Looking for other slow losers!
Hi everyone! I have avoided coming to this website for the longest time because everytime I come here I see people that have lost TONS more than me and I don't want to get discouraged. I am 5 ft 5 and started out at 260. I had been up to 275 the year before. I now weigh 200. That's only 60 lbs. for 6 months. I know I haven't been perfect but I also know I can improve so much more. As always in my life, I have found I need to exercise in order to lose weight. Believe it or not I worked out more in December than I did in October and November! I am going to work my booty off now more than ever since I know things are slowing down. I do have to say that the sagging skin is not that bad at all and I haven't lost hair. Oh, and I have gone from a size 28 to a size 20!! Woohoo! No more diabetes or high blood pressure either! Now I just need to get rid of the sleep apnea.
Ok, so are there other people out there with slow results like me?? HELP.... we need to huddle and support each other on not giving up and believing we can still reach our goals!
