im not in a stall, im in a stop
i dont know what to do. i havent lost any weight in weeks. i am over 2 months out and i feel like im stuck. i have measured my inches and i have lost 29.5 inches but nothing in the past week or two. and the scale dropped down like 7 lbs in 1 day the other day then while i slept i guess i put it back on. i dont get it. i know one of my problems is my schedule for eating food, if i eat early in the morning or even in the evening i feel nauseated, and almost like im pushing myself to eat and in some instances it just comes right back up. but in the afternoon im like a ravaged starving person. i stop at my 4 oz but my stomach still gurgles and i still feel physically hungry so i try to drink more and more water, and then i still want to eat. ug im just a mess. ive lost 45 lbs and i see all you guys breezing past me and i wonder if im stuck for good. i dont know what to do and im getting really discouraged.
anyone else going through this? or did i screw up my rny? gr
thanks guys!

I have nothing but good thoughts for you
I've been gaining and losing the same 6 lbs for the last couple of weeks. I think we are really in a stall....I haven't lost as much as you have...only 39lbs since surgery.......you aren't doing as bad as you feel you are......I've been questioning if I've ruined things too......but I know I havn't.....I havn't lost any inches this last couple of weeks either......you are not alone!! We'll start losing again....just don't get on that scale! I've decided to weigh once a week and that is it! I can't keep seeing this up down crap...it's far to depressing!!

Hi Jill-
I don't think you've stalled, but you need to keep the fundamentals of the surgery at mind always. Protein first, and always try to get some form of exercise everyday.
Recently, I started eating better, watching when I drink water (making sure it's 30 minutes post-meal), and I have been starting to lose weight and feel better everyday.
I know you will do it.

August 2010 weight 138 lbs lost of 179.5 lbs but gain again since my gallbladder surgery Oct 2010 range recentlly my weight got up to 166 and I was in freak mode. I am now down to 152.6 hoping to get back to 135 and started generic wellbutrin
I had my surgery 1 week before you. My surgery weight was the same a yours and I'm only down 22 lbs. I've had two stalls for a couple of weeks each time. But during those stalls, body shape was changing.
Like the others have said. Protein first, exercise, and get your fluids in. If you're not eating enough, your body thinks it's starving and holds on to every oz it can.
