hi Cindy, I'm not really nervous but I am kinda disappointed that I have hit a plateau and am stuck there. I have lost 127lbs with 26 more to go. On the 18th will be my year and for some reason I just assumed I would be at goal. It took years to gain all the weight so I keep telling myself its gonna take a while to lose all of it. Wont happen over night. I hope this plateau passes soon, been there couple of month. Take care and you are doing awesome Gerri

Hi Cindy... You and I had the same surgery date....I've lost 108lbs. I went from a 26/26 to a 16/18. Now, I started off at 304lbs, so I'm very happy to have lost what I did...but I'd really hoped to get to my goal weight of 150 by my "rebirthday." I'm trying EVERYthing to get the 46lbs left off, but I'm working on not being so neurotic about it!! I've read that the weight loss slows considerably after the first year and that it may be another year before the rest comes off and we're at a fairly stable weight. If that's what studies have shown, then that's where I have to be with the WLS journey. My 1year is on 8/24 and I've got lots of questions to ask my surgeon about the progression. But, to answer your question....sorry, sometimes I ramble NO, I'm not nervous at all. I'm so grateful that my two sons encouraged me to have this procedure done. I'm grateful that my health has improved tremendously. I'm grateful that I now have the energy to play with my 22 month old granddaughter all day. There will always be bumps ahead during this WLS thing and I'm OK with that. The more I worry about it not happening, the more it won't happen!!! Hang in there, chickie....we'll make it!!

I feel like I am in the same boat as you. I have lost my 100 lbs and don't want to lose anymore. I am thin too. I am not complaining but it concerns me. There are people that think I am anorexic too. I am weighing 140 lbs but I am a size 4-6. So it isn't the weight number. My ideal range is between 130-135. I don't want to see 130. I will be a size 2. My Dr has me taking Pancrease to slow down the weight loss. I take it in my shakes and am mixing it in my food. I have been told that after we lose it and stabilize we will start to gain some back. That is what I am counting on. I will be happy with 10 lbs back or no more lost. I don't want to look like a bobble head either.
