Hi all, sorry for the nasty question, but I feel I need to know if I should contact the doc or not. I seem to be having pale or clay colored poops lately and doing some research it seems that this can be caused by not enough Bile in the digestive tract. Could also be Gallstones, or medications. Anyone else have this problem? Should I contact my Surgeon? Or should I just wait a day or two?

Been on the longest plateau ever. It could be the fact that I am on meds for the past few months as we are trying to have a child. And we have to do it through IVF. I have also had to be on meds, not just my wife. But hopefully all is done and I don't have to take them anymore. Will find out soon if we have been successful.

Indeed I think that we all may get to this point. I have. Been on a plateau for about 2months now. But I think I am finally losing again. I need to lose 17.6lbs by March 12. So why don't we try get there together. We can do it.

Sorry to here that but you typically bruise easier when there is an iron deficiency. But don't hold me to it, go get the tests.

Congrats!! It is an awesome achievement. I am myself on 103lbs, but been here for awhile. I have another 15lbs to go to my goal weight, I am hoping I can do that in the next 3months. My optimal goal weight is about 30lbs away. Would you have ever thought that you would have been here a year ago?

Hi everyone, how are you all doing? I am 8months post op and have had over 42kgs weight loss.

So how is everyone doing? I am now in a very slow decline on the scale. Which is fine cause down is down. Sometimes I'm a little to eager but losing 90 plus pounds is nothing to be ashamed of. Looking forward to my anniversary, and seeing the results and recapping on how far I have come.

Yay!!! I am losing again. Been a huge huge plateau!! Well 3lbs in 2days so hopefully it continues.

Wow!!!

That is amazing!! Sometimes I feel like I am so far behind cause I have only done 80lbs. But I only got 40lbs to go till my goal. Then maybe a little more.

Phew i thought it was just me. Hoping it all starts coming off again soon.

Things have been slow this past month. But I have a feeling I will start losing again. Only lost 4lbs this month. :-(

Do you mean August 27th? The hospital is super boring.

It's very common to be scared. A million things go through your mind! Change is always scary. But this change is truly amazing. Try not over think it.

Hi all, I decided that it was time to show my progress, excuse the "Nudity" There be a lot of skin here, but i am more than happy to show my progress so far. I'll be happy with another 44lbs loss. and will post more pics then.

Just feel a little stuck! I think I need to go back to my dietitian for some guidance. I think I am eating correctly. But maybe I'm not. Maybe she can get me back to losing.

Sorry to hear about the hair loss. Really hope to not have any loss except for my weight! Only at 66lbs down now. But still very happy, & healthy. Smaller clothes, and I can look at myself in the mirror.

Wow!! You guys are doing amazing!! I am very jealous.

So glad to see that everyone is doing so well. I am loving my new body, and so is my wife LOL. I know i'm almost halfway to my goal weight, and i know its not going to be close to the Onederland. But i'm a tall guy, so that will be okay for me. Anyone having any problems this far down the line?

Great to hear so many of you are doing so well! It's an amazing feeling I won't lie. Are any of you able to pickup something that weighs the same amount you have lost? Great point of reference to actually feel what you where carrying around with you everyday.

So after my last stint away in Madagascar, I am home, and my Dear friend Mr. Scale has kindly reported 7lbs lost. Which brings my total to 49lbs down. So I am content, and bought a new pair of jeans 2sizes down, but fitted into a pair 4 sizes down, but was just a little to snug for my liking. Would never had got close 3months ago. Well that's my update for today. Trust everyone else is progressing nicely. For the over 50 ppl that had their op in March '13 there is only 3 or so of us still posting

Should just boil it then and drink at desired temp.

I won't lie, when I was home I used to weigh myself everyday. Now being away, it's like withdrawal!! Somebody, throw me a scale!!
