Welcome back!! I to had surgery right before a bad hurricane in 2005. It was a 2 level cervical fusion and the hurricane was Rita. Evacuating after a major surgery is nothing short of HELL!! At least I had a home and a hometown to come back to. I cannot imagine something as life altering like the gastric bypass surgery and going thru hurricane katrina at the same time. Sounds like you are a very good inspiration story! I mean, you couldn't even find your dr, Nut, or anyone. I sometimes get discouraged at the smallest things, but you have shown me that if you keep pushing, you can do anything. GREAT JOB!! Thanks for coming back and sharing.

I am sorry that you are unhappy with your progress. I had surgery in Oct 2010 and have only lost 42 lbs, but I have lost over 40 inches and several pants sizes. I was very upset a couple of weeks ago, and posted that on another forum. They reminded me that everyone loses at a different pace. You cannot compare your weight loss to someone elses. What surgery did you have? I had RNY and on the Oct RNY forum their are many people that have lost 50,60+ lbs. Their are also others like me that have lost the weight at a slower pace. It depends on the types of food you are eating, the exercise you are doing, water intake and on your metabolism, etc.
Don't get to discouraged, remember every pound lost is a victory!! I know that my expectations were a little over the top, I wanted to be one of those that lost 100 lbs in 4 months. Well, my body said.. I don't think so! 
Just keep on going and remember that you are getting there, just not as fast as you would have liked, but you WILL get there!!
Good luck and God bless!
