Welcome Dea- This forum doesn't have as many posts as your state board does but, it is nice to see how others from the same surgery month are doing. I am down 92 Lbs. and doing great. I love the life this surgery has given back to me. Teri

Dear Tina, I feel your frustration, girl! I have lost a total of 94 lbs in about the same time - really just a few more than you - and started this trip at 310. My guesses, for my slower (seemingly than others) weight loss are the following: Not enough water. Not truly enough protein. Not truly enough exercise. Whenever I've varied one of those three (particularly the water and exercise) things seem to move in a more positive direction (on the scale going down). Also something I've noticed about myself - about every 30 lbs or so I stall.....can take about a month to get the scale going down again. I have just passed a stall and am watching the numbers go down on the scale. Try not to get too worked up about it. Vary the three things above and see what happens. Try to remember how much better you feel and I'm guessing how much more healthy you are then you were 10 months ago! Good luck. Tracey

What is going on with me? In the last two months I have only lost 5lbs. that is a total of 83lbs and I will be 10 months out on the 20th. Could something be wrong with me? I am not a light weight either I started at 299. I feel as if Im going crazy. I am appreciative of the weight I have lost but I know I should be losing more. Any advice is welcome.
