I too feel your frustration. I am always hungry as well. I have lost the majority of my weight the 1st 6th monthes and now none, even gained a few. Very frustrated and scared. Anxious to hear the feedback/suggestions you get.

i have my surgery on august 21, 2006. I am always hungury. I do not get that feeling full after eating. Has anyone else felt this way and is it normal? I have not lost or gained any weight for the last 6 months and i am following the bypass diet. does anyone have any suggestions for me.

I don't check this site too often although I had surgery 8/28/06, but I did today and to my surprise I saw your e-mail. I just wanted to congratulate you on your pregnancy. How far along are you now?

I'm doing good except for eating things that I shouldn't. It seems since Christmas I've been on a sweet feast. I'm kind of glad because I am 20 lbs. under goal, so I needed those extra calories, except that I love sweets, especially chocolate. Did you lose your weight while in the military or before? I can't believe nobody wrote you before. I don't check messages here much, because people don't post as much. It must be really hard to stay on course when you basically have NO control over what you eat. Keep in touch, let me know how you are doing......... Hugs, *Carol*

Well it has been a while, I am about 250 from 476 not to shabby. I have some time on my hands to visit now that I am in Iraq. Downtown Baghdad to be honest. In the IZ "green zone" working. And I get a chance to see the world I just miss Texas and the wife and kids a great deal. So far I have been to London, Gatwick, Dubai and now Baghdad. On the way home in a few months I have a layover in Amsterdam that should be fun. Then I come back for another 4 month period. Oh and by the way it is hard to loose weight over here due to the food you get served but I walk a whole lot so I am trying to maintain. I plan on stoping in and weighing myself on the postal scale today. But I wanted to stop in and drop a line and see how everyone has been doing. I have ate at Saddam's palace more than once. Well his main one here in Baghdad. Lot's of pretty things inside of it still. Well hope everyone is well and we have not lost anyone.
