ugh!!

this is the worst stall ever!!

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)

Don't worry I am right there with ya!  I have been stuck at 230 for over a month.  I know I am still losing inches so I am assuming it's a catch up kind of thing (at least I hope so)!  I have upped my exercise, but now I think I need to eat more and not sure if I can or not.  This is the hardest part of this whole thing, but it's the using of the tool thing.  The first 6 months were easy breezy, but now we gotta work!  Keep me posted on how you are doing!  Good luck to all of us who are in this stalled boat! 

WOW!! you took the words right out of my mouth! I actually came to the board right now to post about this exactly same problem!! Last month I ost 2 pounds!! im pissed ( dont mean to sound like im ungrateful or anything) . I feel like why did I do this?? I hope this is not the end of it for me..I mean how EMBERASSING>>> I am 6 months and down 61 pounds....whoopdi do! my sister is 3 months out and has already lost 57 pounds and she has less weight to loose than me.. I dont know I gues it just wasnt meant to be for me... I hope Im  wrong! Sorry im probably not much help to you as for making you feel better sorry I wish I could say it will get better but I dont know.
Good luck hun!

I'm going through the same, again.  I finished the 5dpt and only lost 0.8 lbs.  I upped my calories and fats and lost another 1.8lbs over the next four days. 

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. 

OMG, my February peeps.  Me too.  I have been within the same 3 lbs for over a month.  Mentally it was killing me.  I started a new mental plan today.  My checkup last week was good.  I was advised to "gasp" maybe not weigh for 3 weeks.  Let's face it.  I can't do that.  So, I am waiting a week.  I am pouch testing.  Starting today.  I am going to try to be positive and just do what I am supposed to do with my new pouchy. I however, will have a freakin meltdown on Friday if that scale hasn't moved.  It is messing with my brain.  Okay, I have vented... back to faking positive thoughts.  This stall shall to pass.  Right?

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.

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!!!!!
Hugs

well guys i went to weigh myself today cause as i stated it was doing the 5DPT and well......




drum roll please.....




I WEIGHED IN AT 219.2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY, IM GONNA FINISH MY NEXT TWO DAYS OF THE POUCH TEST....AND THEN....WELL SEE WHATS NEXT!  I GOT TO SEE MY SURGEON TOMORROW.....UGH!

Marla,

GOOD FOR YOU!! 

Hope you have a good Dr. vist.  Those freakin scales.  I never wanted to get on one before.  Now, it is so hard to stay off of it.  I am weighing in on Friday.  I hope I have news as good as yours.

Have a good day and thanks for sharing.

I know it's frustrating I was at a stall for two months. The weight is slowly going off again but I have so many fluctuations its crazy. I spoke to my nutritionist and she asked me exactly what I was doing. I kept drinking while I was eating and I know that will make you not lose any weight. Keep the faith that the scale will start to go down again. I know its not easy and it gets stressful. I wish you all the best and don't get discouraged.
