weight gain

Has anyone gained any weight and also i have not lost weight for 2wks is this normal? 366/290/?

I seem to lose weigh fast for two weeks then slow for two weeks. The scale will drive you crazy if you let it. John Lap RNY 2-8-2005 -80lbs

ALSO thank u very much john I sure will stay away from that scale and weigh myself only once a mth instead of once a wk. bye

john's right. the scale will drive you over the edge if you let it. i've thought i lost, only to find out the dr's scale was different. thought i'd gained - then got my period, so it was water weight. thought i'd plateaued, but found out you have to be stuck for a month without loss of weight or inches. so i kind of decided, just do the best i can, then i don't need to worry cause i know i'm doing the best i can. take care, girl. this, too, will pass. hugs dorthe

Thank u Dorthe . I just panic but your advice helped thanks alot. for your help may u have a good nite

Trust me I just want to cry sometimes, when I weight myself once a week. It seem that I'm stuck at 50 pounds down and it's doesn't want to move! Then when it does move it wants to go up and not down! I'm totall stress over this too. I should have been more then just 50 pounds down already. Plus living with my family doesn't make life any easier. I'm just having a very hard time with all of the this BS.

Maria, I understand how you feel. I've lost only 51 lbs since Feb 3rd. It is so frustrating and my family is not supportive at all. I am also having a very hard time with this. There are days when I just want to stay in bed and cry. If you ever need someone to commiserate with, feel free to email me. Steph

Honestly I am as frustrated as you. I started my liquid diet mid Feb and had Surgery 2/24/05. I have lost 50 lbs total. Yes, I realize it takes time, but I have been stuck around the same weight for 5-6 weeks. I didn't loose anything for 3 weeks at all and then the other weeks I might loose a lb and then gain it back. I don't get it. When I eat more food, I loose weight most of the time. I go back for 3 mth checkup and lab results tomorrow so maybe I will have some hints from Dr. I think I lost more on the all liquid diet! Don't get me wrong I am happy to have lost 50 lbs and have dropped down 3 dress sizes, but I want to loose more and mostly you can tell I have lost weight above my waist but not below. I had a C section in 1993 and my stomach always overlaps at the bikini line. I think it will always be a problem. I want to save up to have a tummy tuck but I can't do that until I loose 80 more lbs. At this rate, it will never happen. Anyway, if I find out anything new tomorrow from Doc I will let you know.

Thank you for your kinds words. I know it sounds crazy. But I feel like I"m have fail at this too. I really thought I would have been down at least 80 pounds. I just feel so alone at time. I understand I didn't gain all of this weight over night and therefore I won't lose it all over night. But come on, even though I don't eat as much as I use too I should have dorp more weight then just 50 pounds. The funny part to this is I don't see any change in me. I just don't see me less. I see other people dorping all of their weight and I'm still one big fat slob. Maybe I'm just worng about crying and being upset about this. I mean there are alot of good that has been happening. But for the past 2 weeks I just feel that I'm stuck here and no one [family and some friends] understand the stress I'm going under. I'm sorry I'm venting like this. But sometimes it's only here where I feel that other people can understand what I am going through. Thank you for letting me vent. Maria

What was your starting weight? I have only lost 40 pounds, despite a lot of cardio. And I am again on a multi-week stall. Ruth
