offically my 5 month post op
Well by now we all know up close and personal about stalls and the guilt of eating... and how no matter how hard we try and think we are doing everything right our body hold on to unwanted pounds... but we didint get in this shape over nite.. and im here to say..... publically... that.. for once im gona give my self sometime.. and not rush what cannot be rushed... im following doc's orders... and they know what they are talking bout... i've researched the research like so many of u... the body is gona go at its own pace no matter what we do... ( not counting lay on couch stuffing face, thats a thing of the past..) i mean no matter how many times we weigh ourselves... or how many calories we count 20 times... just to make sure we dont go over...or our new problem ... under... am struggling with that one... not getting enough protein and calories.. means yep u guessed it another stall........... so im done fretting... im just gona stay on course.. do what i know i need to do.... to the best of my ability... and pray the powers that be and RNY gives me the strength to lose this excess weight.. im learning how to eat to live... no longer eat for pleasure... or because im bored... i excercise when im up to it..... been feeling anemic lately... getting that checked out tomorrow.. along with labs... hopefully alls good.. body wise not much has changed this past month... been see~sawing around 330... total loss since last july so far 125 lbs give or take... 66 lbs since open RNY... nearly 90 inches over all 30+ from waist alone.. so not much i can complain about.... no long diabetic.. off nearly all meds.. sleep apnea has improved.. only dumped once.. ok im done rambling.. just wanted to up date... hugs....

The stalls are so frustrating!! I'm in yet another one myself..... I'm stalling more often than I'm losing it seems.
You're doing great Peggy!!! Congrats on your loss (of pounds, inches, and meds!)!!

I hear ya! I am in the same boat and from seeing other posts here, alot of us are! I think it is just one of those normal things and now our body is getting used to being this way, so it will slow down. I just keep telling myself it's better to have the weight loss slow down than to have stayed in the position I was in. Now I am not saying, I am content with it, but I have to try to talk myself into accepting it! LOL Good luck to you and keep us posted! It's still such an awesome feeling isn't it?

You're strong and have a great outlook. I wish I could take the same approach. Its tough on all of us but overall everyone is doing well. I haven't heard of one Feb 9er who has not been sucessful, even if all of our expectations were not met.
I can't just leave things be so I've discovered mixing things up with both diet and execise helps with my stalls. Now if only I could average more than a pound or two a week.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Peg all I can say is WOW! You are kicking butt. 30+ inches from your waist. That is just unbelievable. I can't wait to see your before and afters. Did I miss them.
I just went to your profile and found them! You are doing so good!
