@@Dee951 I think @@reallyrosy has a point. Is your goal weight one that your surgeon gave you, or you yourself? On another topic, one woman took a year and a half to reach her goal. She had a bunch of stalls but kept at it. I know that I get caught up reading the ticker tapes with folks that lose all their weight...sometimes a 100+ pounds in under a year. My goal weight is 148, my surgeon thought 150. I have been 161 since last November and held fairly stable. My surgeon now believes I am at my correct weight. For now, I will just work on staying at this weight. But I really would "like" to get under 148. The main thing is that I feel fabulous! I'm able to go up and down the stairs without stopping and all of my comorbiditities have corrects themselves. One day at a time.

@@reallyrosy I set that goal weight. @@FinallyFit50s yeah I'm trying not to be so hard on myself but when I was told that it just made me feel worse. People tell me I would be to thin at 140. I'm just going to having a small pity party but I'm not going to let it get me to down. I'm to close to give up now. Thank you guys for the kind words.

I get what all of you are saying. Trust me I'm 3 mos away from 6 years out. Have I gone up and down? Yes! Have I lost total control of comfort/junk food? Sure have! But i also know this - regaining 10-20 lbs is NOTHING compared to where I was at 250 lbs. I think we all just believed that this "magic" surgery was going to solve all our problems and we would sail through the rest of our lives skinny and fit. Unfortunately, I think we all understand now that it's just a TOOL. Unless we continue To be vigilant we WILL gain. I, honestly, don't do much exercise. I know I should and I try to walk a few times a week but that's it. The other thing is studies have shown that our bodies are metabolically changed after years of yo yo dieting and then weight loss surgery. A NORMAL weight person will gain some weight, cut back and lose. No problem. Not us. I know for me my BMR is about 1350 cal per day. That's low for common folk! I WILL GAIN above that. To lose I have to be about 800-1000 a day! And most times I try to cut that back on a couple days to 500-700. Do I like it? Nope. Really I don't but I had this surgery to be healthy and try to somehow protect myself as much as possible from stroke, diabetes etc. I guess what I'm saying- just keep trying and moving forward. We are survivors! Truly we are. I'm 62. Just thinking that I have done this for myself and managed to keep at it is empowering in itself!!!
