Hi Alice, I am down to 190 and wearing size 14!!! Smaller then Ive ever been. I still wanna lose another 45-50 pounds. Im loving my new LIFE!!! Charl

Hi Charl~~WOW --a size 14!! I know that feeling of being ""smaller than I have EVER been"" and I love it too!!! You will lose the rest of the weight you want--it will just come off a little slower now!! Enjoy your day~~~

Goood Morning Alice, It's good to hear that your doing great 28mths later !!! I'm now down from 260lbs to 179 last month has been very slow I lost 5lbs last month I'm hoping to go down to atleast 150 or 140 !!! Life is so good right now I been going dancing alot and I love it the attetion is also good the only thing sometimes its alittle to much !!! Yesturday I went to see my fabulous doctor Silva he is so pleased with my results his goal for me is 160lbs but I told him that I wanted atleast 150 and he said I should be able to hit the 150 with no problem !!! Take care everyone and have a blessful day !!! Celena

Nice to See You Celena~~~ So you have been dancing and getting lots of attention---I say--- Good For You!!! I am so happy for you!! We tend to hide before we had WLS and now there is no stopping us!!! Please do not get discouraged about your weight loss slowing down. Your body needs time to adjust to that tremendous loss you have accomplished. You will get to your goal of 150, it just will take a little longer!! Just keep that protein and water going!!!

HI Alice I am little over two weeks post op, struggling a bit with what works, what doesn't, not wanting to eat (believe it or not), should I have done this etc. But it's done now and I am down 30 pounds already and should be ecstatic. I am sure that will eventually kick in. It's people like you that inspire people like me to keep me going! Thanks Tina

Tina~~~ Sending you lots of {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}} CONGRATULATIONS on that 30 lb weight loss It will get better-I promise you!! What your feeling right now is very normal--you just had major surgery. It does take time to see what sits well and what doesn't!! Just make sure your getting in enough water right now---SF ice pops are a great way to do this. Have you tried some hot tea or broth yet? Each day you should be able to get in a little more of the protein that you need. Just follow your drs food plan and post any and all questions that you have. You will get lots of suggestions here. Try and get outside today and just take in the sunshine!! Walking really does help with everything!!!

Good morning Alice I so happy after 28 months you are still loving it, but for the little pouch trouble we all know that it is a life long change.....so it is to be expected.... As for me I am getting no where but I am hanging in there.....as you know Monday I will see a new pcp and I have to go for a stress test with all that has been going on.....but My angel Evelyn is always right there by my side helping in many way....she really is great.... When I have something to report this will be the first place for me to go and tell.... Have a great week-end..... Christine

Christine~~ Your so right--the little pouch trouble--is a blessing in a strange way!! Pouch is still working and letting me know who the boss is!! You are getting somewhere ......you have a New PCP and an appointment on Monday. I wish you luck and I know you will be here and let us know how it went!!! Hang is there.....we all care about you!! I have a feeling that your BIG DAY will be here before you know it! So stay strong and I know that you will do whatever is necessary!!! Enjoy this beautiful day~~~

Hey Alice Good to hear from you. I have been very busy here @ work and at home. I am 7 months po-op now and I am 3lbs from my goal weight. These are the hardest 3 lbs that will not go away it has been weeks since I have lost anything but as it is said when we r not losing weinght we are losing inches and I believe this to be true I can now fit into a small (4-6) pants HURRAY down from a 22-24 pants. Also when Monica from Obesity Help posted a few weeks back about being a Support group leader. I answered her and she sent me all the info and I have done the required training I was supposed to with her in confrence calls and now I can do my own support groups. HURRAY I am most likely going to start them in January sometime and I will be posting about it soon on the board to see if some people would like to come. I will be holding them in my home. I was thinking of doing them on a Saturday (we will see) I hope this really goes well. I really would love to give back if ya know what I mean Well I hope you have a Wonderful Holiday Season {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} Evelyn
