so i really hate to use this site to vent but let me just get some things out! So far with this journey i havent lost nearly as much as i wanted to. and i know its probably my fault. I still like to eat... yes i am going to go and see my physc about this. my hiest weight of course was around 348lbs. as of this morning i am down to 247lbs. i am currently taking phentremine a half a pill every other day. Its seems to help with my cravings. when i started this process i was 315 or 325 by my doctors notes, which puts me at about 80lbs lost since may! it is going on 10 months and i feel that i have reached a complete stall. For me to reach my goal weight i have to loose another 72lbs. from what i have heard your weight loss pretty much stops after the 1st year. im so nervous that im going to fail and not be able to make at least 100 lbs in a year! i'll try and keep the post updated!

 Maannn this is some mess... i am so upset, i have been working out trying my hardest to get this weight off. Here i am almost 4 months out and i have gained 10lbs since last month. I was 274 last month and this month i am back up to 284. I am not getting any help from surgeon. his staff keeps giving me the run around. i finally was able to get an appointment set up but its over 2 weeks away. i feel lost with this surgery right now, has this ever happen to anyone else? who gains 10 lbs after only 3 mnths with a stoach that is suppose to be the size of an egg. on top of that my blood pressure is back up. I am scared, im gratefull for the lost but this crap sucks.
