Topic: RE: I'm at a standstill
I agree with what you say - I had my surgery 02/13/08 and have lost 105lbs, the water weight seems to be a never ending battle! Seems like I am down two lbs and then back up 3 the ext day but then all of a sudden I begin losing again.
Anyhow keep up the good work!
Its a great journey!
Topic: RE: Hey all you february LOSERS!!!!
HI all February loosers. I too had my surgery February 8, 2008. I have lost 68 pounds. I am a slow looser too. I agree with the others that said, so loosers have less skin issues. I would rather loose slowly and have less skin issues too. It is tough when you hit stall though, you tend to get nervous. I do anyways, worry that, hmm is this is. Am I done. I know that I will loose all I need to, just seem to forget how long it took to put on, it isn't coming off over 4 mnths. Congrats to us all!

Topic: RE: I'm at a standstill
I am also at a complete standstill. I started at 5-6" and 260 and now am 203. My weight loss has been slower than many from the beginning. I went over 5 weeks one time without losing a THING. Now I am at 4 weeks at 203 and really frustrated; albeit not as bad as the last time. It is like a standoff between my body and my will. The good thing, however, is that I seem to get the most comments on the change in my body while I am not losing weight and I think it must be due to my body changing the way it looks. The thing that has me the most concerned right now is the amount of food I can eat. You say you can't eat a whole egg????? wow. I can eat two eggs with lots of sauteed zuchinni and onions and three of the wasa light crackers. I am counting everything that goes into my little mouth but I am having a hard time keeping calories under 1000 per day and that spooks me. On the other hand I am not eating junk like candy or chips so I feel good about where the calories are coming from. Hang in there....it WILL move.

I have found that if I up my protein intake (via shakes, drinks) and water intake, that it helps break a plateau. Right now I am losing pounds pretty slowly, but instead seem to be losing inches. Shorts I bought just two weeks ago are already getting too big. I should have know but I needed some that fit in this oppressive heat. I can alway ebay them later.
Up your protein, cut your carbs and drink more water!

Topic: RE: I'm at a standstill
My surgery was 2/26 and I am dealing with the same thing. For the past month I am lucky if I lose 1lb a week if that. And to top it off, sometimes I will go up 2lbs for a couple of days and then back down and THEN lose the 1lb. ARGHHHHHHH!!!! To put a positive spin on it....the slower you lose, the less the chance that you will need plastics when you are done!!

I have been at the same weight for the past 3 weeks. I started at 323 now i'm staying around 245 to 248. That puts my loss around 75 to 80 lbs. but I can't understand why I have stopped losing weight. I still can't even eat a whole egg and am trying to get all my water in. Help if you can!!! Surgery date is Feb. 18, 2008
Topic: RE: HAIR LOSS!!!!!!!
I will up my Biotin to 10,000 and see if that helps. It can't hurt because my surgeon said your body just gets rid of any excess thru your urine. My once thick hair is now soooo thin. I need for it to start growing back really fast. I know, I know...hair only grows 1/2 inch a month. My hairdresser said there was little you could do to make it grow faster. I wish that weren't true.

Topic: RE: Is everyone losing at a steady rate? How's everyone doing?
I had my band late Febuary, and have lost 20 pounds so far. Hearing all of you weigh in I feel like I am not a very good looser! I know I should hit the excercise a bit more, but things are pretty busy with work, so I am doing the best I can at this rate!

Good luck with your pregnancy. I know it may not be the ideal time to be pregnant, but you have to deal with the cards we are dealt. As long as you work with your doctors and get all your nutrition in you should do okay. It's more important now than before! Congrats on the loss too!
