I'm crying!!

My problem is I am not losing the weight and I am not getting my period I got it once since my surgery on 2/2/09 and what I am seeing is that I have been losing inches but not weight. I am in a size 12 now which is better then the 18 I was in. I am working out 3-4 times a week and taking a body pump class which the logo is "When your body screams tell it to shut up" So I can tell I am building a little muscle but I have only lost 5 lbs in the month of march. Its just bumming me out and I am thinking that maybe its cause they did the surgery wrong. I am however not doing protein shakes I am trying to get in my protein by eating meats cheese and milk. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Carmen,
I know it sucks when you hit these stalls, but....how much have you lost all together? Dont forget how far you have come, I read in a post before tht the stalls happen because our bodys are working so hard and changing somuch that it gives our mind time to catch up with everything...that might be true. anyway im only 6 weeks post op so everything is still kindof new to me but...are you drinking all of your water? maybe replace just one of your meals with a protein drink to get things going again..? I dont know. anyway I wish you the best! and try hard not be depressed be happy that you have come this far.You are doing great!

Hey chicky

I know how you feel, a couple of us do! I was on a stall for about 5 weeks.... last week i lost 2 pounds. My weight is coming off very slowly, and the plateaus are nessary. Look at the bright side, inchs are noticeable, and you are losing, perhaps not on the scale but inchs! cheer up

From a size 18 to a size 12 since 2/2.  Your rocking!  You must have turned a lot of fat to muscle to do that with a 5 pound lost.
