Happy New Year to everyone! Does anyone know of support group

meetings available in the north Dallas, Texas area? I am plateauing

after 5 months out of surgery. I have had a 70 lb. weight loss but

feel like I am behind what other people lose at this point. I have 40

lbs. to go to reach my goal. I am needing some

advice/support/motivation.

thanks for these postings - they are so helpful!

Carol,

You are doing great!!!!!!!! WOW 70 lbs in 5 months is awesome!!! To

plateau at 5 months is normal!! Excersise!!! (not my favorite

thing) Walk , go to the gym just move that body. Try upping your

protein intake. Drink an extra protein shake, have an extra serving

of meat (or other protein) keep the extra serving in your diet for 2

weeks then back it out and see if that helps. You just sometimes

need to play with your diet. Add take away......... I'm 17 months

out and when I gain a few pounds I go back to basics. I do protein

shakes and protein with very little carbs. You are still a newbie at

5 months out. Your body is probably just adjusting and you are

probably losing inches.

As far as the support group goes, I'm in southern California so I

don't know about support groups in Dallas. You might want to contact

your surgeons office and see if they know of one or go to

Obesityhelp.com and see if they have any information on support

groups in the Dallas area.

WELCOME to the group!!!!!!!! If you have any questions PLEASE feel

free to throw them out there!!!

Hugs!!!
