Long time no see!! Questions please!!

Hi everyone!

It has been a long time since I posted but for good reason. I had

major computer problems which resulted in my computer crashing and we

had to buy a new one. We have finally gotten a new one and hopefully

I will be back in full swing on it in no time.

Just a refesher on me, I had my surgery on August 26th 2003 with Dr.

Freeman in Anniston. The day of surgery I weighed 375 #'s. As

of this past Sunday I weigh 232 #'s which is a loss of 143 #'s. I am

now almost 8 months out. Things have slowed down considerably in the

weight loss. I now go a couple of weeks at a time without losing

anyting. Here are my questions......is it normal to go a couple of

weeks at a time without losing anything at this stage? Remember, I

still have 50 pounds to lose to get to my doctors goal for me and 82

pounds to lose to get to my personal goal. How much should I be

eating at this stage? I feel like I am eating so much but know that

it is no where near what I ate pre-surgery. Yesterday was a typical

day for me, let me know what I did wrong...

Breakfast

1 trail mix bar

Lunch

Seafood salad (lots of shrimp)

Supper

Chicken and Rice mixture with veggies

Snack

Banana & 2 baby kosher dills

Fluid intake

Too much to keep up with!!!!

Does anybody have any ideas what I can do to speed this thing back

up? I have too much left to lose to stop now. My one year

anniversary is not that far away and I would at least like to be to

my doctors goal for me if now my own. Not to mention we have our

Bariatric Ball coming up in October and I wanna be looking sharp for

it!!!! Any input or help on this matter would be greatly

appreciate!!
