Tomorrow is 3 weeks Post op and I am a little discouraged at how slow the weight is coming off as I had a horrible start to all this?

Haven't checked in here for a while. I ended up with a herniated disc and had surgery on March 17th. I'm on the mend and down 63 pounds (Wednesday will be 16 weeks post op)!!!! Whoo hoo! So close to getting under 200 pounds. I weighed in at 212 this week. Highest weight this time last year was 301. Surgery day I was 275. Thrilled to be dropping this weight!!

Don't know if I should eat today. I dreamt I ate two pieces of cake and a piece of lemon merangue pie! Going for a long walk today just in case I gained weight from my dream!

My trip was good , looks like y son may be back on track and our conversatonre good , and sounds producive, bad is I lost my cell phone and had taken pics, so now I don't have them, luckily I have it insured, so I will get another one , btut some of thos thingss are lost that is what I don't like losing but I do like losing my weight.

I have hope that I will be able to lose weight now. I have hope that I am and will continue to change my eating habits to a healthy lifestyle of healthy foods. I have hope that as my body cleans out, weight decreases and energy increases, that I will be strong enough to start exercising and get stronger. I have Hope. Thank God.

Reading "Stranger Here" - don't agree with everything, but excellent book about weight loss surgery written by someone who actually had it!

WOW what a mont for me , I had to send myoungest off to Utah to be better, then I found out y Cousins , husband GrandFather past away Monday , then spent a couple of hrs in the car waiting for my other son to get out of College , then today took my Mother to get a pacemaker placed in her , and my Kids Aunt went in and had to have a operation for Breas cancer, and I gained a lb , even after all walks and eating right I don't know what's going on , I gss it is the stress , I hope I do...

Well went to the Lapband surgeon tosay I have been on a major plataue and told him I was very stressed and upset that my weight loss wasn't going as good as we have seen me do , and I was eating the sae so he did the barium and flouro again and said I looked loose , so another fill it was only a 1/4 but we will see what happens , he wants me to come in in 2 weeks so I will be patient and see what happens because I have not changed the way I eat for the better , so hopefully this works aga...

Not a good day today..I just realized I am now afraid of food..When I look at it all I see is calories, regaining the 70 pounds I've lost and never making it to my goal weight

It's not just about the weight we lose, but the life we gain!

The ups and downs of that damn scale!!! If I eat too many carbs, yet have the right amount of calories, the scale will either not move or move in the direction that I don't want it too. If I eat low carbs and eat less calories with exercise, the scale does the same or I lose weight. WHAT IS THE RIGHT COMBINATION?!?!?!!!???
