Hi Molly!
Welcome back!! I am stuck at around 148-152....I bounce back and forth.....I can eat just about anything as well....including sweets! But, most of the time they don't taste as good as I thought they would, but I still eat them! This is a life long journey....Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Molly! Welcome back. This forum has gotten really slow lately, as you can see. Many of us check in from time to time though. Sorry to hear that you are struggling - this is a lifelong journey, isn't it? Let us know what your challenges are, and I'm sure that at least one of us will be facing the same thing and can talk about it!
Hope you have a good Monday!
Topic: Hello Fellow 10/06-ers
Hi Everyone! I thought I'd drop in and see how everyone is doing. It's been a long time since i've been here. I actually deleted my account, but found that after a few months away, I need more help.
I am struggling to lose any weight at all because I can eat just about anything. I know I have an issue with eating when I'm bored, and I'm doing well with not snacking, but it's eating more at each meal than I should.
Just thought i'd stop in to say hi. Talk soon
Molly

Right there with you, Holly! I am two pounds from my original goal and just keep gaining and losing the same three pounds...have been for about ten weeks or so! When I hear someone say that they just can't stop losing weight, I want to scream!!

Hey holly,
I know what you mean, stuck that is. Like you I've been at the same weight for a few months now and it's making me nuts.
My personal goal weight is 150 and I'm hovering around 160 - 167. I haven't seen my surgeon since feb of last year. The reason? #1. My pcp can follow my progress and labs as well as the surgeon. #2. The trip to the surgeon's office is 5 hrs round trip, that's right 5 hours and w/ the price of gas you can forget it. Especially since he only spends about 5-10 minutes on the visit. The nutritionist never steped foot in the exam room any time i was there, so I speak w/ the dietitician at the hosp. I work at since she's worked w/ bariatric pts. in the past.
You're in a size 8/10? Girl, I am so envious, I'm in a 14/16, which by the way is a whole lot better than the 26/28 I was in almost two years ago. Everyone I know asks when I'm going to stop lossing more weight, I tell them they're nuts, haven't lost in a few months. My pcp, who I see almost every day at the hosp called me skinny yesterday, I don't think so. I guess I'll always see the old fat person that I was.
Hope everything is well w/ you and and your family. Have a safe, wonderful summer and keep in touch.
Donna, sfy

Hi Holly! Your pre-op and post op photos with Raven are remarkable! You have absolutely transformed yourself! It's hard to believe that you are "overweight" on the charts, since you wear an 8-10 and look so great!
I don't know how the end of the weight loss phase goes - I have kind of stopped at 150-155 myself.(I'm 5'9, and wearing 8-10 too). I'm increasing exercise, staying with good eating habits and seeing what happens. If this is it - I'm happy. If I can lose a bit more, I'd be thrilled.
In any case, you look wonderful. Just think what a different experience you will have with Raven, as she grows up seeing you healthy, happy and slim! You are setting a great example for her.
Best wishes.

I have posted a couple of pictures of me and Raven. One was taken in March 2006 (a month before I decided to have WLS) and one was taken in June 2008. Take a look and let me know what you think!
Topic: I seem to be stuck......
I seem to be stuck between 150 and 152.......even after my plastic surgery....I feel great....am in a size 8/10, which is fabulous considering I was in a size 26/28 when I began this journey....my family doctor and surgeon have told me they don't feel I really need to lose anymore, but is this what happens? We just stop? No way of losing that few pounds??? Can you believe I am still considered overweight on the BMI chart?????????? I guess I am just having one of those "feeling sorry for myself" days when in reality I really shouldn't be feeling sorry for myself considering how far I have come in the last 20 months!!!!!!!!!
I miss you all.....hope you are doing well!
