Topic: Made it under 200# mark!!!
YES!!! Made it to under 200 pounds 370 to 198.5. Didn't seem like it would ever happen.
Am dropping more weight from high protein intake, low carb and plenty of fluids. Words cannot express the feeling I have right now - one would think I was at 125#s. 
Topic: RE: Any Advice? Stuck at 212 lbs.
Hi 
I am over two years out and if I don't exercise I gain weight 
If I want to lose some more weight I have to diet as well. I would advise that you put protein first and then complex carbs. Also remember plenty of 0 calory fluids.
This surgery isn't a magical solution and *unfortunately* we still have to put in a lot of work if we want to reach or goals 
Good luck

Sounds like you tried this, but since I started having hypoglycemia problems, I've cut down on refined carbs, am getting more protein with protein first and lots of fluids. The weight loss has come down from 212 to 201 in the last 3 months. Hope that helps, I know it is the same old advice, but something is working for me doing this. Hang in there, it should start moving again. Maybe you are at a set-point and when your body is ready to release weight it will if you keep doing the right things. I still want to get to at least 160 at 5'5". Have heard of people losing weight into the 3rd year especially if starting out at higher weight like we did. I started at 370#s.
Topic: Any Advice? Stuck at 212 lbs.
I had my surgery on October 24, 2006. At the time of surgery, I weighed 365 lbs. I lost to 199 around September 2006. My weight has crept back to 212. I am frustrated because I have not reached my goal weight and it has been two years. I am only 5'1" and should be down to at least 130. I still have over 70 lbs to lose. I try to exercise, but I have a new job that requires a lot of traveling. I am getting very discouraged. Is this as small as I am going to get. According to the BMI chart, I am still obese. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried low GI diets and diet pills. Help!!!
