Happy Hump Day Family!
Goodmorning to all! Just thought I'd stop in and say a great hello.
I've come by a time or two in the last couple of days wanting to say hello...but for some reason just didnt have the energy.
My life seems to be falling back into place little by little. Its amazing the toll a failed relationship can take on an individual~ both physically and mentally. Nonetheless....life goes on...and so shall I!
Can someone please conduct a protein train or a wagon or sumthin....these last 50 pounds are as stuborn as a heard of mule. I thank my heavenly Father that I've not gained any weight....but I'm no where near where I want/need to be....and it just seems like this is it for me. Aside from the few pounds I lost during my inital break-up from my partner....nothing else has moved. I'm really starting to feel like a "weightloss surgery failure". I'm 16 months out, and still at 250 lbs. Dont get me wrong it feels hella great to no longer be 396 lbs...and I'm ever so thankful..but it would feel even better to be 199.9....shidd~ I'd take 200.9. at this point. I swear that if I'm still playing with these same 50 pounds come summer's end...I'm going to be consulting with my surgeon about a revision, because it'll have been well over 6 months with no weightloss. Somebody help me puh-leze!!!

A good mornin' hug to ya Shavara!Dayum, your journey is pretty much just like mine! I've been stuck here for a while too. I've gone back to basics with my eating....protein, protein, and more protein FIRST, and all the water my body can hold. The exercise isn't quite on point due to my health issues, but I am at least getting my walking in. The scale has started back moving here in the last couple weeks. Today I have to fast for my colonoscopy tomorrow so I will be doing the 5dpt too.
I say all this to say, WE CAN DO THIS! We've come this far.....so don't stop now! Stalls will happen along our journey, but they don't have to remain!
Get back to basics and exercise with me. Do all you can do BEFORE even thinking about revision. You still haven't made it to two years yet! C'mon Shavara!
I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!

Hey, pretty girl. It's good to see you. Are you keeping track of what you're eating? That would be a good starting point. Do a brutally honest assessment of exactly what you're consuming and then you can go from there. If you can truthfully say that you are eating according to your surgeon's plan, then perhaps there's a need to incorporate some exercise into your lifestyle to boost your metabolism. I'd make revision an absolute last resort.
Good to see you again! 
. Don't beat yourself up about where you are. Like Kimmie said, go back to basics and the weight will start to come off. Albeit slower but you'll start losing again. I have been disappointed with how things are progressing with me but my surgeon said since I'm smaller now so I'll have to work harder to get the weight off. Don't beat yourself up babes. Glad to see you. Wishing you the best on your journey!
I was once a mess!! My mess is now my message!! WLS saves lives!! I'm living proof!
