HELP-I WANT TO STOP LOSING WEIGHT

HI EVERYBODY, MY NAME IS ELAINE, AND I HAD AN OPEN VBG, ON 9-16-03. I`VE LOST 92 LBS. AND I`M 10 LBS. UNDER MY GOAL WEIGHT. I`M 57 YR`S OLD, AND MY WEIGHT IS 130 LBS. I`M WEARING SIZE 4`S AND SMALL`S AND EXTRA SMALL`S. I`M CLOSE TO A SIZE 2, INFACT, I JUST BOUGHT A SIZE 2 JACKET. I KNOW, YOU ARE ALL SAYING, DON`T TELL US YOUR PROBLEM`S, BUT IT IS A PROBLEM. I KEEP ADDING FOOD AND EXTRA CALORIE`S BUT I`M HAVING A TOUGH TIME, GETTING THEM IN. CAN ANYBODY OFFER ANY WORD`S OF WISDOM, FOR ME. I DON`T WANT, TO ADD HIGH FAT`S AND GREASY FOOD`S, TO MY DIET. MY POUCH, REJECT`S THEM EVERYTIME, AND I DON`T WANT TO BE SICK, ALL THE TIME, AND DEHYDRATE. IF ANYBODY HAS ANY TIP`S FOR ME, PLEASE ANSWER MY POST, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. MY DOCTOR HAS SAID, ADD CALORIE`S, EASIER SAID THEN DONE. THANK`S IN ADVANCE. LOVE, ELAINE -92 222/130

Elaine. I know you and I have the same doctor. I know that adding calories is easier said than done but you might have to add a few more high caloried foods. I would stay with good foods but you might want to add more carbs like bread, potatoes and pasta. Try a little butter on your bread. Believe me you can have fun with it. Dianne

THANK`S DIANE, I`LL TRY IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I APPRECIATE THE RESPONSE. WHEN DID YOU HAVE YOUR SURGERY, AND HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LOST? I LOVED DR. HARBERG, INFACT I SEE HIM THURSDAY, FOR MY 9 MONTH CHECK UP. LOVE, ELAINE -92 222/130

Elaine, I had my surgery 11-17-2003 and I have lost 96 lbs. I am at my goal weight now but I am thinking of losing 10 more lbs. I just had a hysterectomy and came home Monday so I haven't been able to do my exercise. I can't wait to get started again. A little weak and sore and surprised at gaining 6 lbs in the hospital with only eating broth, jello, liquids, but I was told IV might have played a part in that too. Finally back to weight I started before I went in to hospital, 159. As for Dr. Harberg I just love him too. I was so afraid of him at first but I adore him now. Tell him hello. Dianne
