I am 9 months post op and I am in a full on 4 month stall. My weight has been 160-165 for 4 months and I just cant break into the 150's ! My goal weight is 125 and I am not that far away from it.

Can anyone give me any guidance?

 Hi everyone, I'm hoping for some insight into visiting Canobie lake and being overweight.  I currently weigh 255, maybe a little more with clothes on.  I am currently wearing a size 20 or 22 jeans and I'm 5' 7.  I can comfortably fit in any chair I've tried recently and even though I haven't been on a plane I've comfortable ridden in one before when I was slightly bigger than I am now.  Can anyone give me any insight as to how comfortable I would be at Canobie lake.  Are there any weight requirements I should be aware of before I arrive?  Also, I am planning on visiting Six Flags later this summer so any advice on that park would be useful as well. Thanks in advance.

Glad to see the scale finally moved , that is always stressful!  I have found throughout this journey that when I got into a holding pattern and wasn't losing any weight, it was typically because I needed to take in more calories.  I know it seems completely backwards, but your body needs that extra fuel to burn calories.   Your body is working so hard to burn calories and won't if it thinks it's not getting enough.  With our new small pouches, it's easy to take in too few coalries.  Good luck on your continued weight loss.

I am have the bypass... wanted the sleeve but my insurance will not cover it as they feel it's too experimental!

My eyes are very wide open about the "after" part of surgery, I am scared to death of putting anything into my body that will cause dumping or throwing up.  I am very keen into the thought of pain and of how slow the process is going to go or how I can fall into the same old habits.  So focused on the future that I am READY for it!  Its this week leading up to the surgery and panicking that I will be turned away on Tuesday when I get there!

All normal fears I know, but I am so damn determined to be on the losers bench FINALLY!! To feel healthy, to shop in the NORMAL woman's section, to wear normal sized clothes!

Thanks for all the pep talks guys... so ready... tick tock, tick tock!!

Hello Ladies & Gents,

I am looking to see if anyone would be interested in a Pre or After WLS Pampered Chef party... We don't have to tell anyone that is what we are calling it.... hahaha  Though our family and friends would be surprised to see how good we can eat.. (in small portions)... O

Give me a line or a hollar.
