I did bring it up with my medical doctor. She wasn't overly concerned but gave me Prevacid and suggested acid reflex. I looked it up and I think thats a correct diagnosis. It fits whats happening. I'm feeling a little better. Hopefully this med will help. I actually ate 2 chicken nuggets last night and didn't get sick. She wants me to not try eating 3 regular meals but go back to dividing it to 6 meals and chop my food more. We will try. Thanks

Hi Kiki.. I would almost say yes that if you are bouncing back and forth with same 5 pounds then yes, weight loss is over BUT... I would be wrong.. I sat still for 6 months and then lost 7 pounds almost overnight and its still off. I was in maintenace so it was a shock. I was at goal by my 9th month. I am ready for plastics but too afraid to submit the paperwork. Keep at it. Exercise and lots of protein will get you there - WATER WATER WATER if you can tolerate it. I cant do the water thing but if you can - drink up.

I do not think throwing up that often is normal at all. I am no doctor though and if he says you are okay then I would go with it and just try to slow down or change eating habits. I have not thrown up 1 time since my surgery except the very first day I ate real food.

ok - its good to know I am not alone here... I had my surgery 10/25/04 at 389 pounds, and have lost 177 pounds.. so I am 212 now.. but I get soooo depressed cause I so desperately want to be under 200. I could have sworn I would have seen that by last sept!! so here I sit.. bouncing up and down and up and down lucking I just had a bit of a drop to get me to 212.. but I was 217-220 for SOOOOO LONG. I was wearing a 34 clothes and now 12/14.. and goal weight is really 175, anything under will be icing on the cake... but right now I feel like a failure because after 15 months I am still over 200 pounds!! So it is nice to know I am not alone and others are having struggles like me... we can do this guys!!!

my doc from the beginning said to keep fat below 20 - for the rest of my life.. and I do... when you keep your fat under 20 - you dont have to really worry about calories - just carbs and of course keeping protein up! but I have been doing it for 15 months with no problem!
