Congrats everyone. This is my second Sunday in a row without losing a pound. I have lost 50 altogether. It's so easy to tell other post-ops that it's normal to stall until it happens to me. The last time I was able to lose weight was in 2001 and I was never able to get over the 50 pound mark, I sure hope that isn't the case this time or I'm out $23,000. :CRY: I know...it's not the end but it sure feels like it right now. Pre-surgery: 260 Surgery: 242 Today: 210 Running total: 844

Hi everyone! After having a stall for 10 days, I am happy to report that my scale has gone down 3 lbs!! Presurg: 242 lbs Today: 181 lbs Total loss 61 lbs Running total: 905!! WOW!! Have a great week everyone!! Anjanette

Oh Janice, hang in there!! I will sit with you cuz I've "only" lost 37 pounds!! I know it's not always going to be this way, but I hate to hear the sadness and desperation in your post!!! It's not the end!! We will prevail! We will we will we will!!!!!!

Thank you for your reply, I know it will pick up. Just wish I could nudge it a little.

Janice I went for almost 3 weeks without a loss. I was not a happy camper. However I did lose inches. Which is a good thing. Have you been measuring? I know that made me feel better. I changed some of the things I was eating and the pounds started dropping again. I use fitday.com to count out everything I am eating and I found I really had too much fat in my diet. Eventhough I only was taking in 500 - 600 cals That is what worked for me. As far as your weight loss tell me when was the last time you lost 32 lbs in 2 months? My weight lose is still slow post op but I am losing. So if its inches or pounds its better than gaining. I have even gained a pound or two along the way. I know this tool will work if I do the right things .Everyone loses at different paces and your body needs a time to catch up. I know you don't want to here this stuff, but it is true. The pounds will start coming off again. Girl you are doing an awesome job and don't you forget it. hugs Pam

Pam, Thank you for your reply, it always helps to know that other people go through stalls too, not that I'm glad other people have them. I know everyone loses at different rates, I've told many post-ops that very thing and that your body has to catch up but when it's me of course, it's different, "I must be done" or "It didn't work for me" (Strange huh?). I know I'm not done and that it worked. I have not been measuring and I know I should but just never do. I think I know what my problem is though...I am not getting in enough water, and I read somewhere that if when you're on a stall, your body is replacing fat with water because it's not getting enough. Sounds reasonable to me. Anyway, I will be working on drinking drinking drinking. Have a great day Pam.

Janice- I know how you feel-- hang in there. This is a long haul thing, and I am sure you will break that mark. Lots of hugs- andrea
