Thanks Rebecca--- Your right.......the weekend is over...move on. Hopefully the next time I have a weak moment I can recognize it and ward it off at the pass! Have a great day!!!!!!!

Thanks for your support. I have the plateau buster diet, but I haven't tried it yet. If things don't get moving soon I'm going to.

Ok guys.......here's the awful truth...I ate way to much this weekend AM I NUTS? I didn't go through this surgery and loose 150lbs for nothing....I really am being hard on myself today it is time to get back on track....when I say I went crazy...here is the deal...I ate crap like popcorn (alot, not low-cal either) sugar free cookies, sugar free fudge cycles, chips and salsa I grazed on this crap all weekend long as well as having my regular meals, and drank no water. I even ate some Onion rings. I typically don't do this sort of thing...and I no I will not reach goal if I continue this type of behavior...thats what go me fat in the first place...I am really upset with myself, and how easy it was to fall back into this old pattern of self sabatoge. I think i will try to attend the next support group and hopefully this week will be better....I am 10 months post-op and up till now have been very faithful to "the plan" so I quess I need to keep that junk out of my house and just focus on the goal at hand....I no it could be worse I could have attempted to eat a pizza or something but at this point it is getting harder to loose this last 20lbs. that needs to go. Thanks for listening!!!!

Just remember there are those times during this process that our bodies go through major changes. Things shift within us and water is sometimes retained for a short period of time. If you keep up the daily routine you have set for yourself, you should see the scales shift downward again. Somewhere on the board there is a plateau buster diet that really works if you're really concerned and would like to get things moving again. Not sure who posted this diet but I'm sure we can find out quick enough! Peggy B.

Alas, I find myself on the threshold of the hosptial once again. My surgery is scheduled for September 1st at 7:30 a.m. I'll be in the hospital for up to three days. It's been almost a year since I had WLS and I really don't want another surgery but it's inevitable! I have a hernia that bulges out like an alien baby in my belly. It's driving me crazy. Doesn't hurt but is constantly there, in the way. I want it gone so I can wear pants more comforatably around my waist! At first he was going to do it laprascopically but he's now decided that it would be best to open me up again (using the same incision line as my last surgery). That way he can put in the mesh, reattach something and remove scar tissue from my first incision. Hopefully, he can do a little tummy tuck in the process? Anyhow, keep me in your prayers! Peggy B.
