Hello everyone ... NEWBIE HERE!!! I can not believe that I have not found this board earlier!!! My surgery was Oct 29, 2003 and I too am on a MAJOR PLATEAU !!! Can we say frustrating? Although it is really good to read that others are going through the same thing which helps to relieve my mind that I may be doing something wrong. Guess I just need to relax about it and continue plugging on! Continued success to all of you ... you are doing wonderfully! Hugs, Tammy STATS: 303 (highest weight recorded) 277 (surgery) 212 Current weight 91 lbs lost from highest weight 65 lbs lost since surgery 53 lbs above the "norm for my height, age" (Docs goal weight for me) 69 lbs to go to my personal goal weight Started out in a size 4-5X (28-32) Down to 18-20 petite

Topic: RE: March 04 Roll Call

Hello October Siblings... I am on the plateau with several of you and can't see an end yet. I have lost a total of 54 pounds since surgery on 13 Oct. I have lost 65 in all. I now weigh 168 and fit into a snug size 12. I have only lost 3 pounds since 2/16 and am feeling the pressure to get on the protein train and to the track for exercise to jump start this thing again. At least I will not be "quitting" the diet as in the past. I have found, you can't quit WLS. It wont let you. I feel so much better now that I am less. I can play and work with ease... NO pain. This is a blessing that only WLS patients can understand. I feel the need to exercise and get this skin to tone back up or I will never get into a swimsuit this summer (in public that is, DH has secret plans... more when I figure it out...LOL). Any suggestions on the skin toning??? I have been on this fruit kick for about 1 week now... Can you say Fresh PINEAPPLE and ohhhhh ... Just love those strawberries from Plant City, FL... Mmmm.... Do ya'll think they are the culprits in my plateau? I have eaten about 1/2 carton (7-9 berries) per day this week. I don't know... just thinking about what I can do to get back in the loosing mode. I still have 40+ pounds that I need to lose to get to goal. Take care and happy loosing to all. Judy Guay 233/168/130

I'm down 73 pounds as of 10/31/03. I want 5 more pounds by the 18th. Why? Because I go on vacation and really want that magic number - and the "over weight" status vs. obese.

Hi everyone. Down 52 pounds and feeling great! Added up the inches and down a total of 35 inches (arm,chest, waist, rear-end and leg- 9 in the rear end alone-yeah!!!) I have been on the plateau for about 3 weeks, but just dropped 2 pounds today so hopefully it is over. I am losing a bunch of hair even though I have upped the protein and am taking biotin. Oh well, I know this will pass. Congragulations to everyone on their success!

I'm doing a lot better since the last scope (my 3rd one) although I started with the vomiting again last week but started taking Prevacid again and it seems to really be working. My highest wt was 397 (April 03) and got down to 362 for surgery and now at 285. I was wearing a 38W pants and now 26W. In tops I was wearing a 5X but now 3X and 26/28. Marilyn

I do daycare for a living and one my little ones who is 2 pushed on my shin bone and said, "What's that?" I laughed. It's something you have never felt on me before, huh?
