Post ops: I'm not a LOSER any more!! Where should I REALLY

be at 10 months out? I had my WLS September 3, 2002~a LAP RNY. I'm 5'2" tall and my beggining weight was 265 pounds. My weight shot off like a rocket the first 2-3 weeks, and I hadn't done anything...I wasn't even exercizing then. Now that I've decreased it to 2 times a week (due to going through some severe stress on the job), nothing has happened!! I walk the same as usual, protein intake increased to 120g per day...yada,yada,yada, water=70-75 ozs (at least every OTHER day for water), but the basic 64 ozs. I meet on a daily basis. I feel like this is it for me, and it's not a good feeling at all. I've been honest about everything since I've made myself accountable to those that chose to be my penpals...I don't mean to be a "whiner", I just want to know what else is left for me to do? Has anyone EVER gone on such a llonnnggg plateau?I just want to know if this is where it all comes to an end?? I've tired everything I can possibly think of and as you know, I'm still on this plateau. It's really beginning to be a bit annoying now. I've had a positive focus so far, and have tried to be encouraging for other pre and post-ops, but now, seems like I'm beginning to lose the *sparks*. It seems like I'm just going through the motions, just drifting along. I'm getting bored and tired of trying so hard. Is this surgery failing me? Have I tried too hard? Not done enough? I thought of calling my surgeon with these concerns, but to be honest, he might tell me something I might not want to hear OR have already tried. AMOS family...I really don't understand and could use your advice, suggestions, helpful hints and bright ideas, 'cuz mine aren't working...I've read book after book about carbs, Atkins Plan, etc. (please, no flames-that won't help since I've done all I can possibly do). I felt on top of the world at one time!! Like the "social butterfly" (as they call me in my support group)I'm tired of crying, that won't help the weight come off...**sigh**....LAP RNY 9/3/02 265/158/115-126 Hadiyah McCutcheon, Still struggling with this weight OR a FORMER LOSER~~
