So, I'm 10 months out and almost to Goal.  I've stalled for the past month and have fluctuated the same 5-7lbs. during that time as well.  I'm not exercising, which I know is probably the key to my whole problem, but I'm still too tired!  

100lbs. Gone!

I just wanted to post that I am just about at my 6 month mark and I'm down 87lbs.!   I'm feeling good, but fighting some fatigue.  I really need to exercise more, I think that may help, but I am a little lazy. :-(  My blood work is normal, and I seem to be getting enough protein in every day, so it could be my sleep apnea still or my hypothyroidism.  I haven't had any real issues with food at this point, so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones!

So I guess maybe I dumped for the first time 2 nights ago.  I had potato cheese soup and boneless, skinless chicken tenders at Quaker Steak & Lube...well I guess I got the "Lube" part!  I ate pretty much only the cheese broth from the soup, and 1.5 chicken tenders, and as we were paying the bill, I started to feel not so good.  I'm not sure if it was a true 'dump" or not, but I know I felt nauseous, and I thought I was going to mess myself.  As my husband drove the 9 miles I SUFFERED all the way home, at one point I didn't think I was going to make it!  I jumped out of the car before he had it at a full stop and sprinted to the bathroom, and just made it.  IMan that was awful, I thought a bomb went off!  I didn't really sweat, shake, or have heart palpatations so that's why I'm wondering if it was a "dump".  I had been constipated for several days and I'm thinking that the excessive fat in the soup just "loosened" everything up...

So I'm down 43lbs. including pre-op, and doing fairly well.  I don't think I'm getting enough liquids, and may be a little dehydrated, but I'm working on it.  I am a little frustrated at times when I try to eat, and after the first  bite or so, I just don't feel like doing it!  I've not found anything so far that upsets my stomach, and have had no nausea, vomiting or foamies!  I do get a pain in my pouch when I eat too much though.  I do fantasize about food sometimes though!
