Ok, I was 6 mos. post op as of the 26th of this month, yes, 3 days ago. I am really stressing out because for the last 4 weeks I have lost a total of 3 lbs. Yes, thats right...3lbs!!!! What is going on??? I have been a slow loser from day one. Since week 3 my max weight loss for each week has been a measly 2-3lbs. No more, no less. NOW I can only seem to take off 1 lb. a week. What a joke!!! At this rate I will never get it off. I have 37 lbs to lose to get to my goal. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am so frustrated I can't tell you. I am getting all my protein and water in. WHAT CAN I DO???? I am so afraid I am going to just give up and start eating whatever as a means to sabotage myself. I'll figure "what the hell? I'm not going to lose anyway..." HELP!!! Kim R/az Open RNY 1/26/04 233/167/130

Your doing awesome

You're doing great keep up the good work! I think I 'm loosing. In six months I've lost 82 (12 before surgery) and yesterday 2.5 more for a total of 96.5#. But I feel great! Mine concern right now is the extra skin on my tummy, upper arms, and thighs! And my breast hang to my waist! I think I'll need some tucks here and there and hope that my insurance will pay for it! I have a protien shake every morning for breakfast and usually one for an evening snack. I'm probably consuming around 900-1100 calories a day. Kimberley 248/236/151.5/135 Soon I hope!

Hi everyone! Well, yesterday was my weigh in and I topped the scales at a mere 151.5 lbs! That's a total weight loss of 96.5# gone forever and ever. Only 3.5 more # to get to the century club!!!! I'm almost there. And only 16.5 more # to get to my goal of 135#. Would it be realistic for me to think I could be at my goal weight by the middle of September? I think I'm loosing slow anywere from 1.5# to 3# a week, but I'll take it! My friend who had surgery in May had lost a 42# in 9 weeks! I think loosing it slower is better. I've been feeling pretty good up until Tuesday (7-27). The night before I had some raspberry no sugar added frozen yogurt and I got sick! Then I ended up feeling pretty ****ty on Tuesday with an upset stomach and head ache and my sinus felt terrible! I missed work on Tuesday and yesterday. I spoke with my PCP's office yesterday and they called me in two prescriptions. Hope all is going well with all of you out there during your WLS journey and wishing you the best of luck!! Kimberley 248/236/151.5/135 soon I hope!

Glad you are doing great! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO
