Hello everyone..I just found out about this forum only a few days ago..thought I would join and see what it's like.

My name is Jamie, I am 33 years old, married and a mother to three beautiful kids. I had gastric bypass on December 9th of 2008, so I am just about ten months out. I have lost a total of 95 pounds, I wish it were more, but I seem to be on a stand still..have been for a few weeks now, and I am getting very frustrated, and at a loss for what to do to get the weight loss started again..I would love to lose about 50 more pounds..any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading my post, looking forward to "meeting" you.

Jamie

Hey Jamie and welcome to the community! 95 pounds is a LOT of weight in 10 months - and you're close to goal too - Keep following the post-op plan your surgeon has set for you and you'll do fine. In fact - congrats on the success. You've just hit a bit of a plateau - we all do - it's kinda like the body taking a breather LOL

At anyrate - Do feel free to update your profile and edit your avatar. Again = Welcome and happy posting!

Hey Jamie
I had my Surgery at the end of January and I have lost about the same as you. I too am in a 6 week stall, and it is frustrating! I know that the rest will come off, I am just trying to up my activity and watch those creepy carbs.
We can do it!

I was at a stall too - but my Mama commented today - she said, "Looks like you've started loosing again."

I don't weigh everyday - in fact I don't even own a bathroom scale anymore - got rid of it years ago. I've been weighing on my doctors visits and stuff - I have my 6-month post-op consult coming up on the 22nd and I'm like WOW! Where the hell has the time gone?

I am going to up my activity level and see if that helps at all. I did lose five more pounds, so I am hoping it's starting to come off again...the stalls are killing me. lol

MsJacquiiC · 10-07-2009, 09:16 PM

LOL @ the stalls killing you - but I bet you are healthier now than you've been in the past = a healthy killing

Keep up the good work though. Keep following the program your surgeon has set for you and success will continue.
