Hitting a wall in weight loss
I just went through my first plateau in my weight
loss. True to my new "can do" attitude I broke through
by upping my exercise and carefully watching what I
was eating. Lots of protein, lots of vegatables, lots
of water. Not only did I break through, but I feel
better and am down an additonal five pounds! Oh, a great
tip for anyone, like me, who still has trouble
getting plain water down, slip in a tablespoon or two of
plain lemon juice. It works for me and I’m now sipping
water all day but I stop 30 minutes before meals. My
best to all about to undergo surgery, and my best to
those who have. Linda<br>Had surgery in November down
60 lbs.

Linda<br>I am proud of you first of all for the
60lbs. you have lost and also for not giving up when you
plateaued. You are doing great with your weight loss, and I
want to thank you for all the help you have given me.
I told my therapist about the nice letters you have
been sending me and he said I was lucky to have you,
for support. I told him we all support each other, it
feels good to have a group of people who understand
you.<br><br>your friend <br>Poohbeartoo98

Today I learned I have Thyroid Cancer during a
consultation with my doctor. I also learned that I am through
my weight plateau with an additional weight loss of
4 more pounds. If I hadn’t had the operation and
lost 60 lbs. I wouldn’t have discovered the lump in my
throat and wouldn’t have caught the cancer so early. I
will be having an operation next week with the same
surgeon who gave me the Gastric ByPass. He is the best.
Couldn’t be in better hands. I ask for your good thoughts
and prayers. By the way, my only question is without
my Thyroid how do I keep losing and maintaining my
weight loss. I don’t know why this happened, but I do
know that if I can hang on, it will all work to make
me a better person. Perhaps the question isn’t "why
me" but "why not me". I’m going to get through this,
with a little help from my friends. Thank all of
you.Linda
