I too am struggling now. I mean at first with no effort the pounds were just melting away. Now it seems I better start incorporating some regular exercise or I won't lose much. My doctor tells me the first 6 months are crucial in trying to lose as much as you can because after 6 months the weight loss slows and you really have to put some work in your diet and exercise. He stated you'll still lose, but you definitely have to make super smart food choices and exercise regularly. I was hoping to lose 100lbs at least by June 1st, but it's not looking good. I got a whole month, but that's still steep. Good luck everyone and I hope all of our stalls and or slow downs change for the better soon.

My scale is driving me crazy too.  I am ready to throw it out!  I am down 80 lbs since my 11/18 surgery.  Down 120 from my highest weight.

I really wanted to be further along than this with my 6 month surgiversary coming up but I am not exercising like I should.

I am getting on the band wagon starting tomorrow! 

Hi there...

I have lost 108 lbs...so far.

How is everyone doing with their scales???  Mine is driving me crazy.  I had RNY on Nov 12th.  I've gone from 240 to 179 but, these last 6 pounds have come off very very very slowly.  I'm trying to be optimistic but, i'm starting to worry I'm not going to reach my goal!!!  I'm working on bumping up the exercising!  I know I'll get there!  I want to hear other stories give us your weightloss updates...

I am here! about 3 weeks late..maybe

 I have not posted here in a while, thought I would start

Today is going pretty good, except for me ruining my Cream of Wheat! Errr! Its okay because I ended up eating peanut butter on wheat bread. YEAH!!!!!!!!!

I started a new BP med yesterday, and can tell the diffrence already. Not sure why I was diagnosed with HB after having the surgery. I have lost about 100 lbs, and still on the HB meds....its okay because my health is alot better than 5 months ago thats forsure!

Having issues with hair shedding ! I have started to take Biotin and Zinc! I am praying something good comes out of it. I hear that it could be months before the shedding stops.  I have been telling my support folks, and family that I think I am Hulk Hogan's sister..... We share receeding hairline.

I enjoy the Support Group in Rockford, IL on Monday! We have a good group of folks.  I just only wish that I could go to my surgeons support group, who have a huge amount of DSERS like myself.  Sometimes I think its nice to share like stories. Dont get me wrong, I like attending the Rockford Group....


Well thats all for today.
