Topic: RE: This is getting old!!!
I've carried on regular email correspondence with my nutritionist and my surgeon's nurse practitioner, two truly wonderful people. I have tried to follow all of their suggestions, but the plateau remains. I have my 6 month follow up on the 22nd so I hope to see my surgeon then. In the meantime, I have an appt on Friday with my program's bariatrician. He doesn't know it yet, but I'm bringing him all my food and gym records for the past 4 months so he can help me figure out what's going on. I've also talked several times to the exercise physiologist in my program, because I have noticed a weird trend in that whenever I have to miss the gym for a few days straight I lose like 5lbs or more, and as soon as I go back to the gym the weight comes back. She has no explanation either, except that I'm maybe hoarding calories. I'm definitely smaller and have always been pretty muscular, something that is decidedly pronounced these days. But I had the surgery to lose weight, not get smaller.
I'll post and let folks know what I find out, in case they ever hear of anyone else with this kind of plateau.

Topic: RE: Elevated Liver Enzymes
Returning with news that liver enzymes commonly go up during extreme weight losses and weight gains. My liver specialists says that this is nothing to be overly concerned about. If however they remain elevated after weight has been stabilized then their might be need for further testing. Soooo don't be alarmed if your liver enzymes come back high!

Hi Nancy,
I'm right there with you....My surgery was 3/25/05 and I've
only lost 55 pounds. I had hoped for more because my
30th high school reunion is in 2 weeks...oh well!
