my ex was relentless in havin me call the surgeon for the surgery. I finally couldn't take it any more and did the surgery and lost the wt then left him. sorry for the confusion!

I would love to tell you about my journey and how i've been keeping the weight off since my surgery in 2000. You can email me at driveucrazy1004@yahoo.com I look forward to hearing from you and GOOD LUCK on your journey!!

Thank you! I try to update it each month when I take my monthly pics. I may not see it in pounds all the time, but I definitely see it in inches and in pictures!

I'm glad to hear that you are still losing. My friend's name is Amy that has the same surgeon as you.
I am not doing too good. I've been stuck for 2 months now, and I have even put on 5 lbs. I don't think I'm doing anything different. I know that I need to work out more, but I'm not eating a lot at all. I also have a lot of mental issues to deal with and I can't turn to food. I am hoping that by being on this forum I can find some advice to get me back on track. Congrats to you!!!

Hi. I talked to you awhile ago. You have the same doctor that my friend did. You look great! How do you feel? Are you still losing on a consistant basis? I have been stuck for 2 months now. I only have 40 lbs to go, but it's frustrating that I'm at a stand still. Well I just wanted to say hi. You were one of the few that I remember when I was on the site a lot. Talk to you later.

I had no clue there are support groups! When and where are they? I definitely would be interested in going! I heard from my dietician about the greek yogurt, but she did suggest the splenda as well. I never even thought of adding the crystal light for different flavoring. great idea! On average how much protein do you think you consumer on a daily basis?? Does the Isopure that you used taste like the bottle isopure, because I wasnt able to completely tolerate them, unless overtime I might be able to tolerate different protein supplements. Thanks for all your advice and support! Maybe I will get to meet you at a support group sometime!!!

Hey again girl,
Ok so my 3 month mark was on August 1st and i am down 65 lbs. Although the past 10 days or so........i am in a STALLLLLLL !!!! God i hate them. Its like a little panic voice comes into brain and says....ok...you're done lol But I know better. (most of the time...lol)
I feel especially good, building up alittle bit of confidence....which is a foreign concept to me...and i think maybe thats some of where the boyfriend stuff is coming from. Hopefully its a phase...and a very short one too!! lol
I am also in shock that before I know it, the summer is gonna be over!!
it is going tooooo fast
muuaaaahhhh

thanks K your sweet! i know this scale addiction is worse then my ol' food addiction

oh believe me....u made me laugh.....HARD
it was veryyyyyyyyy funny.....once i saw the 2nd post of course lol

How have you been? I see the weight is just MELTING off of you!!

what you said makes perfect sense. Watching my family eat dinner and everything wasn't bad at first but now its starting to irritate me because I can't have what they are having. Selfish, I know. Ya I was excited to see that Dr. Machado had patients on here. I'm actually doing fairly well. The only thing is i am terrified to go back to her this thursday so possibly start my stage 2 because I havent found one protein supplement that doesn't make me sick! Hopefully once stage 2 starts my options will open for the possibility of protein but for now it worries me. How were you on your protein? Other than protein I have had a pretty smooth sailing, I was even off my pain meds by the second morning after the surgery. Its really neat you go to go through this experience with a friend. I know you were a few months apart but you both were there for support. Unfortunately being only 20 not one of my friends understands any of it, so it makes me very glad I found this website. I have already found great ideas for different stages and different stuff to prepare me through the rest of this new exoerience.
