My surgery date was May 19th.  I'm doing okay.  My weightloss has almost stopped.  I've lost 74 lbs. so far.  This last pound took me 3 weeks to lose.  *sigh*
I'm having such trouble exercising consistently each day.
I'm taking all my vitamins each day.
I'm struggling with my water intake again and diet cokes have become a problem again.  :(

I can hear some frustration.  My surgeon said that one loses about 80% of exceess weight the first year and that the remaining in the 2nd year.  I understand the backsliding.  It certainly has been a life changing experience.  I hope you have good support.  I used to live to drink my diet soda, but I gave it up before surgery and have not fallen back into the habit.  I replaced it with Crystal Light.  I encourage you to stay the course and do what you have to in your daily schedule to put you and your needs at a higher priority.  YOU CAN DO IT!  I believe in you.  Blessings

I love my new tool  I am down 81 lbs.  I tend to stall each month--but by the end I usually drop at least 7-9 lbs.

Wonderful!

I understand the stall and sudden drop of many pounds.  It would be wonderful if each day or two we would see progress, but it doesn't seem like that.  I am thankful for the drop!!  Blessings as you continue on.

Hey there...congrats on your loss so far.  I'm still hovering at the same weight for the last couple of months.  I keep working hard at the gym...eventually it will pay off! 

Keep on keeping on!
