Thank you, Roxana. What an inspiration. I'm pre-op and stories like this give me such encouragement that I'm making the right choice. Michelle in WA

Well, it's been 2 years and I am at a steady weight of 180lbs -- down from my starting weight of 345lbs! I still can't believe have my life feels now...I'm more relaxed and at peace with myself. I have had to work on that part - the emotional part- quite a bit. Losing my armor and all! Thankfully I did. To anyone considering this surgery, I highly recommend it and please know that you will have work to do...stay active, eat smart, and be emotionally healthy with yourself. Best of health to you all. -Roxana

hi roxanna, i know exactly what you are saying..i had surgery jan.16th,and lost like 37 lbs..then at my 1 month stage i plateau'd.i even gained 1 lb.. got depressed..i drink 32 oz of water(can't fit anymore,unless i don't eat),walked daily..now i ride a bike for 30 mins..ate very small amounts of food.. but i was eating 1/2 piece of toast daily with my egg.. it's hard to imagine that small amount can keep me from losing..so i was bummed, but then i started really coming back to this site, talking with a certain lady sharon(who is the coolest),and found out that plateau's just happen,our bodies losing so much so fast,puts it in a tailspin and it needs to catch up..i felt so much better knowing that everyone goes through this.. i plateau'd for 3 weeks almost..as of yesterday morning,i am losing again..and am very happy..it will happen for you,you'll see.. i did quit the bread,we'll see if that helps.. i weigh on monday mornings and friday mornings..but when i was plateauing i weighed everyday.. it is hard not to,i know... i wish you the very best..it will happen.. and walking is great..keep up the good work..take great care,and have an awesome day..:> jeanne/ca..:>
