wow I have been greatly busy lately & haven't been able to be on here! I am happy the weight loss is slowly continuing but it gets scary as I can eat a bit more & even fried foods & sweets but I know when to stop! cumpulsive eating has never been a problem it was the coke & food choices.

I have been making holiday tamales but very happy that I cant eat more than 1 & that they are not being made with pork lard oil & I even made veggie tamales that have been a great hit. I make this for family consumption, gifts & as our bread winner, we are still @ zero income & it has helped us get by...

I started a walking biking regimine on Oct 13th & I walk 1 - 1 1/2 miles sometimes even run a little & I enjoy it very much, I start when it is still dawn & the air if fresh & crisp, put on my mp3 with fast upbeat music & it drives me! I finish so happy & not exhausted at all thanks to the good lord!

I then go home & continue on the stationary bike where I am for 2-6 1/2 miles...

I started this daily regimine because the weight loss has stopped, I am 8 mos out & don't know why it has stopped but I can guess it is because I dont drink enough water for one & two, eating little, somedays I can consume more than other days but I was drinking only 1 protein shake under 30 grams & not much natural protein (from meat/cheese/eggs).

I was told I have lost too much muscle, I think it is because I can no longer swim as it is too cold outside for that & my muscle mass has soften, I have lost over 100lbs & stuck there!!!

I am walking to build muscle mass & drinking 60-90 grams of protein but I am realy scared this tool is not going to work for me anymore, I try not to stress as inches are coming off but it has been almost 2 mos. @ same weight, it does fluctuate 6 lbs or so but surgeon says it is muscle weight, ha!

any suggestions out there? has anyone plateaued this long? I have tried everything to pull myself out of plateau but it has only been 2 wks I have been walking/biking, please pray all this kicks in soon because I dont want to give up nor get depressed & stay @ this weight!

worried as my Plateau has lasted a long while now & have tried everything to pull myself out!!! now all is left to do is wait & see... let time take it's toll!

I have been swimming doing zumba eating & drinking wellany tips/suggestions from post ops that have lost a lot of weight? I'm down 100lbs but seems as Im not losing anymore & my surgeon says up to 18 mos we can lose... how has it been possible people lose up to 200lbs or more?

I cannot believe I am down 100 lbs!!! WOWWWWWW... THANK YOU GOD, we are together in this!

Hi, how has everyone been doing on their Journies? I feel so bad I hadn't been on here in a while... 1st it was because I was very sick & hospitalized with Pneumoni then I have slowly recovered but still feel so very exhausted! I have now lost 80+ lbs & lots of inches. I was told that I probably plateaud because of the intravenous meds I have been getting (through IV) 2nd of all my computer broke & hadn't been on here!

I hope you qare doing great, please respond & let me hear all about you!

Thanks & Hugs , Anna

FEELING GREAT! MY WEIGHT STARTED COMING OFF AGAIN AFTER 3 WEEKS OF PLATEAUS, I'm DOWN 71 LBS & TODAY IS MY 4TH MONTH ANNIVERSARY! I AM LOVING MY LIFE MORE & MORE EACH DAY AS I ALWAYS HAVE BUT WITH NOT MUCH SADNESS AS BEFORE...

I AM SWIMMING 20 LAPS IN A POOL THAT OCCUPIES 30 PEOPLE, NOT AN OLYMPIC SIZED (I HAD A FRIEND CRITICIZE ME FOR THAT, HMMM) i AM DOING 300 CRUNCHES & LOTS OF OTHER AQUATICS TO MOVE THE FAT & BODY... LIKE I SAID I'm ONLY COMPETING AGAINST TIME & MY FAT! OF COURSE I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO IT EVERYDAY AS I WAS FOR 2 WKS, I NOTICED IF I DON'T OVEREXERT MYSELF I LOSE BUT IF I KILL MYSELF I DO NOT LOSE.

I AM ALSO EATING SOME CARBS BECAUSE THAT WAS A NO NO FOR ME AS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM THEM COMPLETELY & FOUND MYSELF STARVING IN ALL WAYS, OH VERY IMPORTANT I WAS TOLD BY MY NUTRITIONIST TO ONLY DRINK 1 SHAKE BAHAHA THAT WHEN I WAS PLATEAUING TOO SO I STARTED 2 SOMETIMES EVEN 3 SHAKES A DAY NO MORE THAN 30 GR'S EACH & IT REALLY HELPS BURN FAT! I ALSO TAKE VITAMINS & MINERALS 3 TIMES A DAY & GUESS WHAT? THE HAIR STILL FELL!, DONT KNOW IF IT'S BECAUSE OF THE TINT OR SUMMER SHEDDING BUT NOT RISKING IT!

I STILL WATCH VERY CAREFULLY ABOUT EATING TOO MUCH SO I EAT SLOWLY(WHICH HAS BEEN A TASK TO LEARN!) I DO NOT STOP WHEN I FEEL FULL I STOP WAY BEFORE AS I KNOW THAT MY BRAIN WILL SOON REINFORCE THAT ALONG WITH THE PAIN I CAN FEEL IN MY POUCH.

HOW IS EVERYBODY DOING THESE DAYS? PLEASE SHARE YOUR JOURNEYS WITH ME, HOW IS IT GOING FOR YOU? 

Visited the Surgeon Friday & it looks like my Ulcer & Hiatal Hernia are improving (healing), he says ulcer is small
& since I have been on basically liquids as I was scared to eat, I had so much pain doing so & I resorted to just liquids & pain is almost gone! I don't think I'll need surgery to repair if it keeps healing! Thanks for all the prayers & well wishes, I actually feel amazing because I have been doing Aquatics & swimming laps in the pool!

I have been in the Hospital recently because I have had so much pain in the middle of my stomach & they found an Ulcer(arghh!) I was there 4 days & had ever test thinkable to rule out many things & I also have a Hiatal Hernia, I am meds & will get another Endoscopy to recheck & if it has not improved I will need surgery.
