Elle: I am 2 1/2 years out as well. I, for the past 6 months or more keep fluctuating between 182 and 185. I can't seem to get that last 10 pounds off which is all I want to loose. I haven't "gained" weight permanently but the fluctuating is frustrating at times. I recently joined Curves in hopes that a little more exercise will help. I find that I seem to eat more frequently than I used to. I don't seem to drink as much water and I did from the beginning. Do you have any of these issues to deal with? Any suggestions? Darlene

well, its been 2 years since surgery... and the past two months ive stayed exactly the same. not a budge at all. so, i decided to join weigh****chers, im on the point system.. today is my first day counting points, and its not too bad... im very excited. i really cant wait to start losing again... its the best feeling in the world.. im very motivated and focused... IM GOING TO GET TO GOAL! i want to lose about 60 more pounds and ill be happy. my question is... has anyone else seeked out other weight loss plans to get over the hump.... since the first year or so the weight just flys off... im interested in your feedback

im the same way... when i get home from work or school i just want to eat... most of the time im not even hungry.. i just try to do something else. if im occupied im not thinking about food.... it usually helps.

Hi Elle, I havent gained weight but have been the same weight for the last year...It's depressing but at least I'm not gaining and like so many others I can eat what I want and believe me I prayed that I would get sick on anything because I was so scared of gaining the weight back! It will always be a struggle but you can do it! Keep the faith!! Julie

Me too! i would do this again in a heart beat!! and i tell ya i eat all day long too!! people who dont know that i had the surgery cant belive im not fat from eating all day.. but the thing is i dont eat crap i eat healthy foods... this month im really into fresh fruits and vegs big time! and i just love salads... people ask me why im eating salads when i dont need to ?? i cant get them to understand i love salads ... oh well im glad your doing great too!
