Topic: RE: 5 Months - New Photo, Reflection (kinda long)
hey Janet, that is so wonderful for you. you look great. I am 5 months out today too.we had our surgeries on the same day. I am down from 245 to 162 as of yesterday and a size m shirt and 14 pants too. I am only 4'11'' so I have to go to 120 before I am at a normal weight. But I will get there or very close I hope.

LOL Thanks for replying
I'm doing better and staying away from the scale (since my daughter hid it). I will weigh on Saturday and see what happens.

Topic: RE: Prevacid
Hi Janet. I was also prescribed Prevacid about two months out. I was having a lot of trouble with nausea so he scoped my pouch and saw a small white spot that he thought might be an ulcer. My PCP said I will probably have to take it the rest of my life. I don't mind, as I don't seem to have any bad side effects from it, but it is expensive. My PCP said there are other, less expensive drugs that might do the same job, so next time I see my surgeon (May), I will ask about that.

Topic: RE: i'm never hungry
I am in the exact same boat. If it wasn't for needing to get in protein, I would never eat!

Last month was 96 1/2...
I think by now I'm a
candidate for the Century Club!
I have more to lose
but I'm getting there.

Topic: RE: ulcers and not losing
Lisa;
Sorry to hear you experiencing complications. If you're not getting enough protein and calories, your body has probably gone into starvation mode and is holding on to everything it can. That's likely why you're not losing any weight right now.
Focus on getting healthy first and then refocus on your weight loss.
