Hi everyone! I have been away too long?

Hi everyone, I have missed all of you very much! I have been with my weight loss for almost 9 months and I see that there are a lot of people that are 9 mos. post op like me and they look so thin! I am getting so because I am still in the 200's and I just feel like because I didn't go down a few dress sizes like most of them did. I am going to talk to my doctor about Lipo and lose some more fat. I will post again when I get a chance! I love you all and for those that lost a lot of weight, I am extremely happy for you!

HI Marie, Please don't feel bad about your loss. You have done so good. Everyone loses differently. Take my mom for example. She is 2 years post-op, has lost 210 lbs. She is only 5 foot tall. I am 5'8" lost 152 and I wear the same size pants as her, size 6. I can even wear pants she cant fit into. She started to cry and said she was going to stop eating. I tried to explain to her that she started out at a higher weight than me, and she is 8 inches shorter. I hate to see people come down on themselves for not losing enough or faster than anyone else. I got lucky, but I haven't lost more than 5 lbs in the last 3 months. It's driving me nuts, but there isn't much I can do about it. Let it take it's course and it will all work out. Remember it's only been 9 months, not a year or 2. You still have all that time to get to your goal. If you ever just want to talk, email me, that's what we are here for!! Your Friend, Erin

Hey girl, I didn't go down as many sizes as other folks have either!!! I try not to let that get me down - I keep reminding myself that I have a lot more weight to lose than they do, so it will take me longer. I'm also still soliding in the 200's, so I'm right there with you on that. Keep working the rules of the pouch - lots of protein, good fruits and veggies, good carbs in limited amounts and lots of water! With those rules, you'll find success Kellie
