Hi SkinnyD!! I can relate to your discouragment with the weight loss. My surgery was Nov. 10, 2011. I lost 20lbs the first week after my surgery. I was like OMG this is going to be amazing. Then I maintained my weight til my one month check up which was 12/8/11. I was so discouraged. I banned myself from my scale. Did some soul searching and when I weighed myself today I lost another 10lbs since last week. I have quite a ways to go to my goal weight, But I am going to get there. Congrats on your weight loss!! You are almost there!!

Hi Plication friends!! I am so glad I found this site!! I was getting pretty lonely out in the plication world. I had my surgery Nov. 10, 2011. Everything went well. No complications. Before surgery I weighed in at 266. 1 week after surgery I lost 20lbs. I maintained that weight loss through my 1 month check up on Dec. 8th. I was so discouraged. I kept thinking seriously? After everything I just put myself through...the liquid diet...the pureed food. And this is all I get. I banned myself from the scale. So.... this evening I figured I would give the scale a looksy and see what it said... and to my wondering eyes... I have lost another 10lbs since Dec. 8th. WOOHOOO!! I can't tell you how much this motivated me. I am down to 236 now. I still have a ways to go. Which is why I wanted to find a website / blog that I can talk to others in my "plication world." LOL I have 3 goals. Goal #1.. By Feb be down to 199lbs. Goal #2 By May be down to 160... And my ultimate goal... to weigh 140lbs. AGAIN!! LOL Thanks for listening to me Rant.... Its greatly appreciated!
