Good luck. I think that's the secret to avoiding regain - to nip it in the bud before we've regained 15 or 20 (or more) lbs.
And hooray for at goal!!

Topic: And we're off like a herd of turtles...
All right! We all made it to this group finally! Thanks for posting on VSG board so we knew to come here.
I've been at goal since late December, just had 3 lb bump up in my weight...I feel super committed to having 148 being my ceiling. If I hit that, I've got to be strict on intake/exercise until I'm at or below goal. Wish me luck!

Another friend told me when she stalled with her weight loss she would do shakes for 3 days and it would restart her loss again. I am thinking of starting that tmr so I will let you know how it goes
Topic: New folks...
Hello to all.....Glad to see some new lookers today. I don't know how I would have made it thru this past year without OH !!! This has been the hardest thing ever. BUT I will never go back !!!
I'm having a rough time lately, struggling to get off the last 30. So let all help each other...
Hope to hear from all of you.

Topic: RE: Hello
I have seen my weigh loss slow also. I still want to lose 30 more before plastics. I'm hoping to get my plastics in the fall. I have been having a hard time with head hunger. Most days I dont eat enough.
I feel like you. Sometimes I see the pics of others and I feel like they are losing faster than me. I took all my pictures off of OH, when the whole FB stuff happend. I'm thinking about putting them back up, so that I can see them and remember how far I have come.
I think I may go back on shakes for a few days....maybe it will help both of us. I wish I was at 150. I have been stuck at 170 for almost 2 months...It is really driving me nuts. I just want to hit the Century Club soooo badly.
Well lets keep each other posted on our progress...Good luck to you...

Topic: RE: Hello
Hi I am doing great and I actually wanted to be at 150 but when I hit that weight I still feel fat. Im short 5 1 so I want to lose more. But my husband doesnt want me a skinny pole either. I guess I am just sort of having a hard time because I see people around me that the rouen y gastric bypass and they have passed me in weight loss and look thin. I am also saving some money for a mini tummy tuck and breast lift. I do need to workout probably to lose the last 9 more pounds. Have you or anyone went back to liquids for a few days to help start wight loss again. Mine has slowed a ton.

Topic: RE: how is everyone? eating?
I eat whatever I want. I try most days to eat healthy but I am losing weight slow and steady no matter what I eat. I eat alot of meat-mostly chicken. I work long hours and not time or energy to cook so I am embarrassed to say I eat chips frequently. Jerky is also a staple for me. Protein shakes make me nauceous for an hour afterward so I dont drink them often because I never have an hour of free time to be sick. I am down a little over 50 lbs in 4 mos. I know I'd lose way more if I'd eat right but as long as I'm losing I can live with it. If and when I ever stop losing then I will make more of an effort to eat right. I exercise to the extent of living life like on vacation I walk and explore alot or I try to hit the beach once a month and I swim frequently because its hot where I live-but as for the gym-I havent made it there in 2 months. Wish I could say I am one of the disciplined warriers on here that diet & exercise faithfully but I'm just not. What the sleeve has done for me is make me able to control myself. I am seldom actually hungry and I get full with small amounts. I dont feel like a pig anymore. I fit in. I love my life. I feel healthy. I wear more normal clothes and actually share/trade some clothes with my 15 and 22 year old daughters. Feels great to be on a camping trip and be out of clothes and ask if someone has something I can borrow and it fits! I feel really good about myself and would do the VSG surgery every year if it would mean I could have this life forever.
Topic: how is everyone? eating?
Just curious to what everyone is eating or excercising? And how has it been so far? I can pretty much eat anything but try to low carb. I was on vacation for 3 weeks so I didnt excercise much but I am starting again tonight! Do u guys do protein bars? if so what kind? I havent tried bar yet but I still try to do 1 shake a day
