Hunny! Eventually our body needs to catch up to what we are doing. For some reason, now is your time. I began my journey at 240 on Jan 30 this year and I am only down to 165 now. I stopped loosing for 5 weeks. Nothing came off. Weight or inches. Now I am loosing again. You will be fine. You are far from a slow looser. Good luck. Tracy

Wow! Is all I can say and congratulations! 200 lbs! In almost 8 months! You need to party girl! Treat yourself to a nice piece of jewerly or do something real nice for yourself! You certainly deserve it! Best of luck to everyone on your continued WLS journey! Kimberley 248/236/139/125 Some day soon I hope!!

Hi all! I was 8 months post-opt yesterday. Wednesday's are my weigh in day. Well, I step on the scale every morning. Yesterday I weighed in at 138 lbs. Today (remember Wednesday is my weigh in) I was 139 lbs., the same as last Wednesday. I have to go by today's weigh 139 lbs. In 8 months I have not had a stand still, until now. I knew it would happend but why now, I'm soooo close to my goal weight of 125 lbs. I'm feeling a little down today. I keep telling myself, girl, look how far you've come a 109 lbs. gone! I'm a slow loser! I just another post where a gal has lost 200 since 1/27/04! 200 lbs! OMG! What can I do differently? I eat a lot of protein (i.e., chicken, cheese, eggs, turkey, ham, pork chops). I have a slim fast protein shake every morning for breakfast (it has 20 grams of protein). I sometimes have another slim fast shake in the evening or a class of skim milk. Yesterday for lunch I had 2 pieces of thinly sliced deli turkey breast, 2 teaspoons of cottage cheese and 1/2 cup mandarian oranges. My morning snack was a low fat cheese stick and in the afternoon I had a slim fast snack bar. Then for dinner I had a pork chop with a bean dish I make that consist of green beans, black eyed peas, and chick peas mixed with a cheese sauce. My evening snack was 8 ozs. of skim milk blended with 1 cup of low fat frozen yogurt. What am I doing wrong? I'm excerising! Also, I feel hungry more often then I did before. Is this normal? It's like the demons are back! Help me! What if I don't lose anymore weight? OMG! I know I'm at a healthy weight, but I want to be at 125! Well, I guess if I don't get there 139 is much better than 248, right? I've always battled the "bulge" and I'm still doing it, even after the WLS! Will this be a life long battle? Best of luck to all of you in your continued WLS journey! :horse Kimberley 248/236/139/125 May be, some day, I hope!
