Hi I am sure you have just hit a plato. How much have you lost already? I had my surgery 3 years ago may and I have been the same weight for about a year. I been playing with 10 pounds going up and down but the doctor said not to stress to much about it. Lisa

Hi Jennifer, I sincerely hope you try the 5 day pouch test. Read over it thoroughly and follow the plan to a T. It works! http://www.5daypouchtest.com/plan/theplan.html Best of luck to you.....this is a lifelong commitment.....and you can do it!! Michele

thank you so much for showing me this im going to start it on friday because well thats pay day lol so then i can go to the grocery store thank you

You're welcome! Please let us know how it goes! You can do it!! Michele

Hi Jen, Don't be too discouraged ... I lost weight the first year or so and then stopped and then of course picked up 15lbs after my loooooonng plato. I was able to loose some of it before I had PS in May but I'm still about 15-20lbs above my goal (not BMI goal mind you). I looked at your pictures and you do look great (and your gorgeous) although I can see where you're coming from. The pouch test does work, although it's hard to follow ... I made it for 3 days and then basically binged for a day (bad girl, I know). Good luck, just keep on trying and remember how far you've come!! Marlize

thank you for you support iw ill try the pouch diet just havent had time right now im like 50 pounds above my goal bmw weight but i will just keep working at it
