I am getting really discouraged here lately. My weight fluctuates between the same 3-4 lbs for weeks and I get so stressed out. Like I was 195, then 197, then 196, 198,195,etc..... its driving me crazy. Its does this and then eventually I'll lose a lb or two then the roller coaster ride starts all over again. I eat 1000 calories per day per my nutritionist, I work out 3 - 4 times a week (cardio and weight training), drink tons of water and get in my protein..... why is my weight loss so slow? I keep worrying that I'm all done and I still have another 45 lbs to my surgeons goal. Is it just me? Don't get me wrong I am grateful for the weight I've lost so far, but at 5'2" tall I'm still obese. Scarlette

Tyshea, I have noticed that I am more "moist" as well. I do notice that certain undies seem to make me feel more contained and if I go without underwear, it does feel different than 110 pounds ago. I do know that when the do a TT they pull up the pubic area as well to firm it up. Maybe that will help. As far as something not feeling right, could it be bladder prolapse? I know a lot of women say that when they drop the weight, the bladder kind of drops and has to be "tacked" back up. HTH, Terri

I had my surgery on March 3 2005 since then i have lost 115 pounds from the last time i wieghed myself. What i have been noticing though is that i can feel my vagina all the time and what i mean about that is i can feel my lips separating when i walk, when i am sitting down just about anything where my legs have to move and it is becoming so bothersome. I have changed the type of underwear i wear, i find that i am really so much more moist down there as well as feeling moist i just feel like its something going on down there that shouldnt be. But let me say that i have been checked by my gyn so i have no infections(STD's, or anyother problems assoicated with down there) i did have a small yeast infection but that was about a month ago and i was just prescribed the one day pill. But i must say in the past 3-4 weeks the feeling have been getting very noticeable and bothersome. I hope this wasnt TMI but i had to ask. If anyone has noticed these same problems please dont be afraid to post or you could always email me. Thanks Tyshea 315/200/150
