2 concerns...anemia or pregnancy. B12 injections/sublinguals might help too. see your doctor and make sure you are getting enough protien and calories in.

Topic: Clothing Sale
Hey Gang!
I'm so excited! This weekend I am selling all of my old clothes! I have a lot of really nice clothes, and hope to make a bit of money to start funding my new clothes account - or maybe my boob lift account! 
Anyway - I hope all is well with everyone and you are all enjoying your summer a thinner person than last summer! I can tell you from FL, it is HOT HOT HOT here!!!
For those of you coming to FL in the summer, WHY??? Although I thank you- it keeps our state income tax-free, but you can pass out from the heat in no time flat! Also - if you have had the bypass - you dehydrate so much easier - but here in FL you don't realize how fast you dehydrate - so DRINK, DRINK, DRINK! I've passed out twice since surgery during the hot months and I KNOW about the heat and am used to it. So please, be careful! And wear that sunscreen!
Enjoy your trip!

As long as the track is going down we are all on it.
I am down 78 lbs since 1/8 and have noticed the last month has been really really slow (on 4 lbs). As most of the january people I have noticed.
But we will start to melt again soon.
Best of wishes

Topic: RE: I don't know if i am on track.
We are all doing awesome! I had my surgery on January 6 and I am down 109 pounds! I started at 330! The first six months we will lose the fastest! Then it will take the next six to eight months to get where we want to be! That's why they say most people only lose 70% of their goal weight! The first six months is so easy and the weight just falls off, but then the next six months is sooooo slooooow and people don't try as hard! Dont' let it get you down! I started to get down when I didn't lose my normal five pounds in a week, but then I realized it's all apart of this whole process! I'm going to New York in August and I wanted to be under 200 by the time I went. Well, my loss has slowed to a snail, I probably won't make it to under 200, but I'll be close! It's all part of the game! Keep working hard! We have a huge reward at the end of this roller coaster ride!

I'm down 78. Started at 252. I feel great except for a very large hernia. I was approved for a panni and breast reduction just yesterday. I hope it can wait until October. Debbie

Christina,
I had surgery on Jan 30 this year and I am down 60 pounds. I started at 240 and I now weigh 180. I don't know if I am on track either. I do look at myself more often also. My energy level is going down and my husband is getting more interested. I feel the same as you as far as not loosing fast enough. I have always been an instant gratification girl, so I guess I will just have to learn to be patient. Hope this helps.
