Plateau :(
on June 20, 2011 5:31 pm
 It's been six months and now I'm holding the same two/three pounds for at least the past month.  I'm going to the gym and trying to do the right thing and this is getting rather discouraging. I've started snacking and fear I might fall back in my old patterns. I've done so good and I'm  concerned.  
I've read articles that it's normal or adjust your eating and the patterns of working out.

Doctor Check-up
on January 9, 2011 6:47 pm
Well, I had my 3 week check-up and the doctor was thrilled with my success thus far. I've lost 33 pounds to date and can increase to the 4 week mark on the food scale. I'm thrilled since I was getting hungry between meals and was wanting to eat more. I'm still eating soft/puree foods and can hopefully decrease with the protein drinks. Yah!!! I plan to eat as much as possible with protein from chicken, fish, tuna, and cheese.  

The only down side to my appointment was that my vitamin D was low and I needed a prescription for Vitamin D for the next 6 weeks.

Is this normal....not losing any weight?
on December 30, 2010 7:05 am
 I am two weeks post op and was losing at least a pound a day when the first week. I started week 2 with soft puree foods and all was going well at least a pound every other day and now suddenly nothing is happening. The scale is either the same or has gone up a pound.  I thought I would keep losing consistently for at least for the first couple of months. Is this normal and I've hit plateau so soon. Please answer.

Two Weeks Post Op
on December 27, 2010 11:56 am
I'm dong well and starting to feel like my old self.  I am on soft foods, but I don't get full off of only 2 teaspoons at mealtime so I am eating more. I hope this is not expanding my stomach too soon.  I'm drinking at least two protein shakes a day and doing great!

3rd Day post-Op
on December 20, 2010 6:07 am
 Well, surgery went well and I'm home recuperating... the gas has been my only problem along with some soreness and aching across my belly.  I'm so glad it is over and I can start my new leash on life.  Thank you all for the encouraging words and helping me get to this point.
