Topic: RE: Please HELP!!!
Hi Dania, My lap RNY was on 12-2-02. I have lost 95 lbs. and I too am feeling hungry now. Although I haven't gained any weight back, I am concerned about it. I seem to have come to a halt with the weight loss. I am hoping it is just my body's way of catching up and I will be able to get back on track soon as I still would like to lose 15-20 lbs. Keep your chin up, and just start over today, don't dwell on the 10 lbs. Maybe you can try eating a little more protein and drinking a little extra water each day. Please post again and let us know how you are doing! Jen

Dania, dont freak out yet. Are you retaining alot of fluid? You may want to have your blood levels drawn and a UA done to rule this out. Being hungry all the time may not be nerves it may be an imbalance of protein. Have your PCP check you out. I will help anyway I can. I am 6 months post op and I have lost 112 pound pretty healthfully.
Keep up the good work email me if you like at [email protected] Heidi Walters

Topic: RE: fatigue
I try to make sure I get enough sleep (8 hours each night). I also walk 1 mile to work and 1 mile home from work every day, as well as walking the dog 1-2 miles every day. I believe that all of the walking is giving me energy. I don't usually feel tired.

Hi Dania,

This has excellent advice for using your pouch to its potential.
I had my surgery about a week before you did, and I haven't gained 10 pounds, but my weight loss has come to a screeching halt. I hope that it is because my body is going through some adjustments, because I still want to lose another 50 pounds or so. I weighed 187 today -I weighed 184 a month ago 
Still, I am happy with my results so far.

Topic: I am 11 months post op, s...
I am 11 months post op, still trying to hit the century club (5lbs away). In July, I started having major problems with my back and now I have to have surgery to fix my...get this...spondylolisthesis, (don't ask me to pronounce it) and a slipped disc!. It's affected my ability to excercise and it really put the brakes on my weight loss. I try to do some walking everyday, but the pain can be excruciating. My poor 7 y/o daughter can't understand what's going on. She asked me to gain my weight back so we can have fun again. The poor thing, I kept telling her after my wls that we would be able to do so much, and she's just not seeing it. Now I'm telling her after my next surgery we ought to be able to do things together again. All in all, I have no regrets about wls, and I guess it's better that i'm minus 95lbs going into this next surgery
Topic: Please HELP!!!
I had my surgery on 12-30-2002 and I have lost 97 lbs, but in the last two weeks I have gained 10 lbs. I am very scared. I did weigh 284 lbs. What can I do to lose more weight. I am hungry it seems all the time, I don't know if its my nerves or what. If anyone has any suggestions I will happily listen.

from what I have read in other forums increasing your protien and water may help. I am scheduled for surgery on Monday.
Topic: Plateaued Out at 7 Months
I had my surgery on 12/12/02 and my starting weight was 266. At 7 months I plateaued out at 180 pounds.
I have tried everything to get more weight off with no success. I eat my protein, drink my water and excercise.
I have been a member of Curves since 10/02 and to date have lost 71 1/2 inches.
Because of not losing any more weight, I have already seen a plastic surgeon about getting the excess flab off my belly and a breast reduction.
I really would love to lose at least 20 more pounds, does anyone have any ideas?
