Topic: RE: 9 month check-up!!
Hi Tylonne,
Thanks so much!
Wow that is a shame that you have not had any support!? How have you done? Did you use protein supplements? Have you lost what you feel you should have lost to this point? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just concerned.
Hope you are doing well!!! Please let me know how your doing.
Take Care and God Bless You,
Debi

Topic: RE: plastic surgery to soon?
Ty,
Is there any other wls doctors in your area? I would find one as soon as possible if I were you, just to have a go to person. This website is a great support. I don't go to any support group meetings at all and come here to check in occasionally. Although 80lbs is a great loss, I think I'd want to see a doctor to why you are in pain. Are you taking your vitamins and B12 as you should? How about the Calcium Citrate? Are you taking them everyday per your surgeon's instructions before he left the practice? If you aren't, that might be a link to your pain. I have lost 114lbs and don't have any pain from my excess skin, but each of us is different. I wish you to best and hope you can link up with a new doctor or at least a very good regular doctor soon!!

Topic: plastic surgery to soon?
I had my rue n y oin Nov. 1st. of last year, my starting weight was 326 pounds. When I began my journy, i began with realistic goals (I believe 75 pounds is very realistic). Unfortunately however, I have lost all means of support since then. I have yet to have my first post op appointment (the surgeon quit practice soon after performing my surgery), I have not been going to support group meetings(the only group in my town disbanded sonn after my surgery was obtained). I have been stuck at the same weight (246) for 4 months now, and am getting rather frustraited about it. I'm wondering if maybe, most of the weight is from the sagging skin on my thighs, arms, breasts, and tummy, it makes my hips, arms, and back hurt.

I know its not my protien lol. I work out hard and I am taking in about 200g a day!
Last night I cut the rest time in between sets in half and it was really wearing me out, I was even sweating even more.
So I am going to be trying that out for a month and see how it does.

Congrats, 
Keep up the good work.
I have not even had my first post op yet and it's been 9 months. The Dr. that did my surgery, quit practice soon after. I don't even have a support group anymore, they disbanded a week after my surgery.

Hi,
I seem to be running into the same problem. I have tried everything, even going as far as back to the first week after surgery. Not even this has worked. I do not do cabonated/caffinated beverages, have even upped my cardio yet nothing seems to work. I have lost a total of 77 bpounds since Nov 1, 2004. this is really frustraiting. If you come up with a solution I would apreciate you passing it along.
Thank you in advance.

I Have not lost any weight since May, I do not know why i'm not eating anything i'm not supposed to and I'm excercising all the time. Last weigh in was last month 246 a total of 77 pounds since Nov 1 2004. Getting really frustraited.

Have to agree with the others, the Diet Coke should stop. I know not all Dr.s have their patients stop sodas, but most do and you should. While it may not be your only reason for the plateau, it is not helping.
The nutritionist from your surgeons office should be able to help you figure out what is going on. I am getting ready to make the call myself to help break my own plateau.
Also remember everybody has stalls. Your body need to readjust to the losing and this is the way. Do not get discouraged, as long as you follow the rules, you will continue to lose.

Hiya Jason,
First off, congratulations on the awesome 101 lbs you have lost so far -way to go!!!
Now, if I may be so bold, I would suggest you get rid of the diet coke. I have been told by my surgeon and nutritionist, and numerous things I have read that carbonated beverages were something I should just write off and not touch. Plus anything with caffeine does not really count as water since caffeine works to dehydrate and the liquid that comes with it is basically then useless.
Other than that I dont know what to suggest except maybe going back and seeing the nutritionist, but first logging everything you eat and when, and also your exercise for maybe a week. Show the nutritionist the log and then ask for suggestions.
Keep us posted on how things are going!
God bless you and keep you,
~Andrea
