Me emptying my brain onto paper

I am back up in the area of 230 lbs.  I know part of the weight gain was do to the Implenon I had put in back in March.  I went from 200-ish to 245lbs before I said that the thing had to go! I am struggling BIG time getting back down and could really really use some encouragement!

 I havent been around much.  I moved to NC.

I have hit a plateau and am not rising.  Anyone else experience this?!?  I was down to 175lbs...I am back up to 205!!  I joined our local YMCA and hope to get back in control of my life.  I am really looking for some serious assistance.
Thanks

I lost 100 pounds!  I feel amazing!  I woke up Christmas morning and jumped on the scale and it said 204.9!  I went in for surgery at 305.8 pounds!

Its such a wonderful feeling to be able to do things and not be out of breath in seconds.

Weight loss surgery is the best decision I ever made for myself! I can play with my kids now!  Its PERFECT!

Well surgery went smoothly. Dr. Boe was great he came out before surgery and really put me at ease. I dont remember much of the first day. Surgery was at about 130-2 o'clock.  I do remember my husband and kids being there and a few random phone calls.  
Day 2 saw me off the morphine pump....my body just couldnt handle it. My blood pressure dropped to next to nothing, my tmep was 93 and 94's, and my pulse was alarmingly low. they took me down for the xrays of the new insides and I proceeded to get sick. (how nice of me right??!) Dr. Boe was there in an instanst and worked out some new pain regimen for me. After that I was off and walking. 
MeLinda came and visited me and brought me the most beautiful roses and some much needed cheering up! Its so nice tohave friends on this website who know where I have come from and where I am headed.
When I went in for surgery I weighed 288.6 and when I was leaving to go home I weighed 304.2.  Hmmm I thought I went there to avoid this...LOL. Just kidding Iknow its from all the fluids...
Speaking of which how long should it take before I am able to get all the protein and liquids I need? I am close on the liquids but the proteins arent even in the ballpark yet. Should I be worried yet?
