Frustrated!!!!

Had RNY on 6/13/2005.  Starting weight was 347.  I lost down to 228, bounced back up to 260 and have been stuck there for 18 months.  No matter WHAT I do, I can't get the scales to go back down.  I'm sooooooo upset!!!  Need some advice please!!!  I know that I still can't eat too much, so if my pouch has stretched, it's not too bad.  I still have times when dumping can be an issue, though not as often as in the past.  But very, VERY frustrated!!  I didn't go through all of this to stay at 260 pounds the rest of my life!!

hi sorry to hear that you are stuck, it is frustrating for sure. have you spoken to your doctor or to a nutritionist?? are you eating enough protein and drinking enough fluid??  these are major components of getting yourself back on track. maybe using a nutrition tracker online would help u see what you are really eating and drinking each day.  i use sparkpeople but there are others, such as fitday and the daily plate. good luck, jacki
