Are you Debbie?

I feel your pain and frustration. God... some of our bodies are just beyond

belief stubborn in insisting we be overweight.

You asked " what am I doing wrong " ...well since we don't know what you ARE doing

it is difficult to answer that question. I have a DS friend who did a good job

eating right for her DS and she was moderately exercising..yet complained of

slow weightloss and was very frustrated. I spent the day with her and found out

she had 3-4 Carmel machalaties (lol whatever it's called) Starbucks coffee's

with extra Carmel. I looked it up and told her she was consuming 3-4 THOUSAND

sugar calories a day and she was lucky she had lost any weight at all.

Sooo, I say to you...look very carefully at any sugar..carb calories your are

eating/drinking and try to reduce/eliminate them.

Also...look and anything you may be taking to reduce odor/gas...sometimes these

products contain enzymes that basically undo your ds malabsorption.

Sometimes medications can make folks very resistant to losing weight.

You have been through sooo much to lose weight. You may just be one of those

unlucky folks that have to be extra, extra deligent to keep even what you did

lose OFF. Frustrating...depressing...heck yes!!!!! You are not alone, there

are several folks whose weightloss fell far short of where they hoped...or even

'needed'. But I gotta say...I understand their frustration but when I look at

them I see a much more mobile, healthy person...not all they wanted.. but there

is some blessing there.

Don't feel bad about expressing your frustration. Perhaps somewhere along the

line something can be figured out...sometimes it just helps to vent.

> So, I had my revision in February, 2008....lost 57 lbs.....and am now back up

15 lbs.....I knew I would not lose as much as an original DS....but I never

really lost much....had some blood tests - my thyroid is underactive, so GP

upped my thyroid meds. What am I doing wrong? I exercise, although not as much

lately due to being tired all of the time. I am guessing that is the thyroid.

I am now past that " honeymoon " phase and very depressed. I guess I am doomed to

be overweight the rest of my life.
