Don't get it???? Extremely frustrated now!
Thank you. I will continue on. In a better place now then i was in July 2014 at 347 lbs! Guess my expections got really high after losing so qucikly and rapidly in the fist two months. I'm sure my surgeon will help me understand that on Friday. Thanks!

Is 280 a weight you've been at before for a long period of time? Could get there but not less? I had a terrible time getting below 250 and I believe it was this reason. I had been 250 for years previously . When I passed it it went quick for a while again.
5'4" SW=285 PreOp=-13 (surgery @272#,1/14/14), 2week=-12 (260#), 1M=-20 (252#), 2M=-9.5(242.5#), 3M=-18 (224#), 4 M =-10 (214#), 5 M=-11 (202#) 6 M=-11(190.5), 7M=-7.5 (183), 8 M=-6 lbs (177) 9M=-5 (172) 10M=-7.5 (164.5#)
Yep. I was at 280 for over 8 years. I did hear something about it could be my Metabolic set weight so my body has a hard time getting beneath it. Wow, I tell you, the wealth of information on these boards are amazing!! Thanks!

I have major stalls all the time that last 6 weeks or longer. My NUT also said that I wait too long to eat. If you wait more than 4 hours, then your stomach starts flowing acid. She also said to keep my carbs at 45. I think we have this great expectation that after the surgery the weight is just going to fall off. Well it does for some and doesn't for others. Our bodies are different and it is going to do what it wants to do. When I am not losing pounds, I am losing inches.
I also think there is better ways to answer people than calling them names. We are all here for the same reason. We all need the support. Being ugly is not being supportive. Even if you feel you are giving good advise...there is a way to go about it.
I agree. Yet I guess we also cannot be too sensitive especially if someone is reaching out to help. I was hungry, weak, frustrated, discouraged and having just a bad day so I reacted and took offense and contributed bad motives when none was there. We are here for a reason-to become healthy and happy! Thank you.

We all have those days. Today is my day...overly sensitive and very weepy!!!! Which is not like me at all....usually I am like a duck in water and let everything roll off of my back. Good luck in your weight loss....just work the program and it will eventually come off. Just have faith and think postitive.
