ugh!!
i have been stuck at 225ish for the last month! im so sick of it! i have been doing a 5 day pouch test...Im on day three!! and i havent weighed myself yet, but.....yes there is a but.....I WANT SOME MORE WEIGHT TO COME OFF!!! is this it....is my weight loss over....does the honeymoon period stop at 6 months??
guys, i think im gonna cry...i have actually stayed really positive all through the hills and craziness but now its really getting to me...if i am gonna stay at 225 i might as well have not gone through all the stuff i have been...i mean...225 was way off from my goal.
its discouraging! (sp)

I'm trying to keep the protein high, over 100g, moderate fats and aroubd 1200 cal a day. It worked to end my 58 day stall in June. As soon as I went back yo the nuts plan, stalled again. Hoprfully this will keep my wl going.
Wl early on is generally fastest but we have about 2 yrs of max malabsorption. The pouch works forever. No one is more frustrated than me. I never had a quick wl honeymoon period.
Hang in there. We will make goal even if its later rather than sooner. We have 18mo of primo malabsorption to go.

LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Thanks for keeping this board real. We are totally in the same boat. Not to be mean, but I am so ready to abandon ship. I want to see new numbers on that scale!!
Good luck to you all!!
Ditto for me. I've been trying to get under the 300lb mark for three weeks now. The worst part is that I've started back on the compulsive snacking. I'm making healthy choices but it makes me nuts that I'm fighting the urge to snack again,.
I'm down 120 pounds (counting pre-surgery loss) so it's definately been worth it but I really want to maximise the loss of the next six months. And I also want to freakin' get under 300 pounds for the first time in decades.
100+ pounds lost
Under 250 pounds (first time in decades)
Weigh less than husband for first time
Ok, I am totally with you on this one.. Wow, how frustrating it is to stall. I am unable to exercize still because of my hip fracture and stress of not working and loss of income all have created tremendous stress and frustration. I have lost about 96 lbs now but have so much more to go. I did up my protein by having a protein shake during the day or for breakfast to up it, vitamins and cutting carbs down to almost anything. I did drop a couple pounds but nothing to what Ishould be losing.
My only suggestion to those in the same boat is to increase exercize, up the protein signifigantly and lower the carbs along with plenty of water. see if that helps..My instinct always says, BACK TO BASICS.. go back to the begining and start over or as many people do, journal your food intake...
As my friends keep telling me that sometimes it's not you at all, it might just be your body playing catch up...anyhow, keep up the good work and stay on track... you have done well and will finish the race...
See you at the finish line!!!!!
