Stuck at 27 pounds

My surgery was also 2/21/07. I am at about 31. I have had a couple weeks where the scale didnt move much at all. I just found out from the nut that I should be consuming around 800 cal per day. I was only get 500 at most. She said my body was probably going into starvation mode because of the lack of calories. I have started drinking a couple glasses of 100% juice for some of the fluid to try to up the calories. Dont know yet if it is working. Linda

My surgery was 2/22/07 and to date I have lost 24 lbs. I have been very unhappy about the weight loss. I guess I believed prior to surgery the weight would just flow off (like 8 lbs./week). That was just wishfull thinking. I weigh myself once a week (Friday) and usually only see a 1-2lb. weight loss. So those of you who have lost over 30 lbs. and are at a stall, don't fret I'm told its going to come off and we will all end up in the same place within the same time fram. Hugs, Connie

i am stuck at 22!!! i had my first fill yesterday and it was painful. have you had one yet. im exercising some, not like i should be but my food intake is very low. shelly

I just posted this in another thread, but I'll post it again here. I am 10 weeks out and I've only lost about 30 lbs. since surgery. I agree, its frustrating. I try to think of it this way: as long as the scale is going in the right direction, and I feel good, then it's all worth it. I worry, though, because it seems I can eat whatever I want and Ive never dumped. I also seem to be able to eat more than most people can. For instance, I can eat a whole sandwich (bread toasted), when most people can only eat half. I just hope my pouch is the right size!!! Anyway, just keep plugging away, and hopefully for all of us, the weight will eventually fall off. Good Luck!
