So you've lost 130 pounds in about 9 months . . . that's amazing!! You should be so proud of yourself!! I am being banded on Feb 9th, and from what I've been reading, everyone seems to hit plateaus, but you've done really, really well. Thanks for the post, you give me hope. Best of luck to you!!

congrats on the weight loss!! that is a huge number.. Be proud.

I had my surgery on sept 2009 and lost 40 lbs in the first 9 months...since then i have be struggling to loose. SO far i have lost about 50lbs and have another 50 lbs to go.

I keep reminging mysepf that it took me 10 years to gain 100 lbs, it is ok if it takes me 2 or 3 years to loose it.

You do seem tight, i still am looing for my sweetspot..i can eat way to much but then all of a sudden BAM!!! restriction comes when i least expected. Try getting lots of protein in and good look with getting back started.

Take care

thanks for the support and responses. I finally lost 2 more pds this morning after about two weeks. I think I may be a little to tight but I have been reading up on being to tight and one thing I am trying is to drink something warm about 30 minutes before I try to take my meds. and will also try it before I eat when I try to eat again. After being sick for two days I really am not ready to eat yet.

MrsMustang thanks for you comment and good luck on your surgery and I will say a prayer for you. Keep us posted on how everything goes.

Gorda123 Thanks for your comment and I think you are doing great. I have so much weight to lose that I am only half way with my weight loss and I love the way you look at this process and will diff. try to remember to look at this the same way. I have been overweight since the birth of my daughter and she is 26 now. Wow When I look at it that way it really does help .lol It may take a while but it has been here for ever so that is ok.

Another thing to try is to have a protein shake in the mornings...I am not a breakfast person either but I know that protein is very important so I have a shake every morning knowing that I am starting my day off right.

It does also sound like you are a little tight as well..taking a little out can do wonders!!

I wish you the very best! Also you have done an amazing job losing the 130 lbs that is not an easy thing to do. Whatever motivated you to get there..whatever steps you took to do that..write them back down and take those steps again. Sometimes we have to start at the beginning again to see where we are missing those hidden calories or carbs or why are not able to eat. Good luck!

HI THERE

YOU ARE SO HARD ON YOURSELF. TRY TO REMENBER- MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T REACHED THE MOON, BUT YOU ARE STILL AMONG THE STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\

GOOD LUCK
