Maggie...

Everybody stalls from time 2 time. Sit back and take serious look, maybe chart your calory intake for a few days. Are you following the "rules", are you keeping the protien up and carbs down, are you EXERCISING. If you find that there are ways to kmprove, make those changes, if you feel your doing/eating pretty much what you should then change it up. Make sure you are eating enough (avoid starvation mode) and change your exercise routine. If you find that your really struggling with the food/hunger part then it probably is time for a fill.

Remember...we all stall at times, it's to be expected. Your body is probably just re-adjusting. I find that when I stall I'm often still lossing inches, measure yourself again...that might give you the inspiration to move on.

Hang in there, you're doing great!

Is anyone being banded at the U of W? I see NWWLS and other area hospitals posted a lot, but never U of W. I'm scheduled there in May. Just curious.

Maggie what calorie and Protein limit did your doctor give you? If you are still not losing and feel hungry you just may need a fill..but your doctor is the best judge of that..good luck, Carol-WA

I am getting ready to leave for the airport in 20 min. and tomorrow my surgery is scheduled. I am anxious, but not really nervous. I will be glad when its done, and I can start my way to getting healthier.

My surgery is on May 13th. Who is your doctor? Mine is Dr. Wright. Have you attended the free seminar yet? My process was a bit slow too. They seem to be very busy. Very nice, but very busy. I made sure I called them often and stayed fresh in their minds. =)

Burlington, WA! Right across the river. I am scheduled for surgery in France (only $8000!) in October. Glad to hear from someone local!

Jessie

Wow, does that work out financially with the airplane ticket? You are the first person I have heard of doing it in Europe, so I am curious. Enjoy your stay, I was in France 23 years ago, and would love to go back!
