Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result.

Hey guys. It's been so long, that I can't remember the last time I posted. I hope you all are doing well with your weight loss journey, as for me I have been stuck for the last few months and it is driving me crazy. As you all know I had the gastric sleeve 9/5/12, I went from 400 lbs to 250 lbs. My goal for myself is 199 lbs, because I want to still maintain my thickness and curvy frame(hey why lie about it). The good thing is I cut out all the heavy drinking and just have a glass of wine every now and then, so I am proud of that. But the scale is still stuck on 250 and I don't know what to do to make the numbers start moving again. Any suggestions? Also how are you guys doing with your weight loss? Talk to me, I would love to hear what's going on in your life.
I agree with June... back to the basics. Protein, water, rest, move, avoid white food.
Not always easy, but simple.

Yep to the above advice; back to the beginning, get your protein, water and veggies in, leave the fats, carbs and alcohol out, and get out and move.
I'm still holding on at my 125 lbs. off, but just too overwhelmed by work and volunteer stuff to take my own advice to start losing again, but I'm not beating myself up over it.
Take care.
