I am at 206 lbs now and have been bouncing around between 210 - 206 for a month now. I am so stinking close to 100's that it's driving me crazy! Ughhh... Is this stall going to ever break?!
If anyone has any suggestions that might help, I am more than willing to entertain anything to get that scale moving again.

I have realized that I can't do this on my own. So, I am heading to a support group starting the 7th of January. Wish me luck!

I took a big blow to my ego this week. It is renewal time for all insurance information at work. So, I decided to increase my life insurance. I got a denial letter with the reason of height / weight proportion was not within their limits.  How embarrassing!!

I'm still loosing weight. I'm down 30 lbs total from my surgery date. It's been a slow process for me. I know I didn't put it all on over night - but, I want it gone yesterday. UGH!

Next year this is not going to be an issue!!!

Tuesday will be my 4 week post surgery anniversary. I have lost 25 lbs so far.

Ok, this week I worked 6 12 hour shifts sitting at a computer most of the day. I try to get up and walk for a few minutes every hour, but most of the time that is impossible. So, this week has sucked loosing weight. I have not lost any or gained any and feeling like I'm going to end up a miserable failure at this.

The head hunger is killing me. The only good thing about working the 12 hour shifts is I can't leave to get anything to eat. So, I am limited to what is available by what I bring each day. For the most part, I have done very well on my choices.

HELP!

This week I'm working day shift and its a lot more hectic and busy than nights. Yesterday at lunch and this morning I have had the unfortunate experience of being rushed and eating too fast. OMG!!! what horrible pain!

But, what the hell is the slimmy crap I threw up????!!!

I know I have seen posts on this subject, but why do we throw up slim instead of our food?

Eating too fast had become a habit of mine that I never knew I had. I always thought I ate slow, until now. I thought I learned my lesson the first time I got sick at work. Luckily I was close to the bathroom both times. Hopefully this morning was the last time I have to experience that, but somehow I doubt it will be.

I guess old habits die hard.

I started back to work Monday. It is going good, but I sit for 12 hours. I have been trying to at least walk around a few minutes every hour, but it is hard to remember. same with sipping water - keep forgetting.

On another note, does anyone have any suggestions for mushy protein food that has worked for them?

I don't like fish, so that won't work. I did take 1/3 of a boneless chicken breast and put it in the food processor, then added BBQ sauce. It had the texture of patee, but tasted very good.

Does everyone else have major issues with sugar post surgery? I can't even suck on a hard piece of candy without getting the shakes, nausia, and cold sweats.

Thank you all for your encouraging words.

My surgery went very well. My incisions are still a bit sore, but other than that, I feel great. Tomorrow I am going to have a manicure and pedicure. Thursday I am actually thinking of returning back to work. I am so bored sitting at home. So, there is no sense to waste vacation time. 

I felt a bit dizzy yesterday when I woke up, so I sipped on EAS protein drink throughout the day and I feel much better. I am going to do that again today. Can someone tell me how much protein I should get in each day????

The only problem I am having is getting all the water in every day. IT IS VERY VERY HARD!!! I get busy doing something and forget to drink. So, I am working on that today. I got a 20oz bottle of water and my goal is to drink at least 3 of them today.

Also, I keep forgetting to sip and it sure does remind you when you gulp .... ouch.

My starting weight was 262lbs. and today I weigh 251lbs. YEAAA!!!!!!

I had been kicking around the idea of having this surgery for about 2 1/2 years now, but I guess I wasn't ready until now.
I have been reading every ones posts that have used Dr. Mario Almanza Reyes and was wondering if you ever had any problems reaching the Weight loss Clinic and/or the patient coordinator? I have been trying to get a hold of her for 2 days now and can't get anyone to pick up the phone or answer emails. Any help would be great.
