HAS ANYONE PLATEU ,BEEN LIFTED AUGUST 10TH WLS

I READ WHER EALOT OF US WAS ON PLATEUS , ARE YOU ALL STILL STAYING THE SAME WEIGHT OR IS THE SCALE MOVING , MINE IS STILL GOING BK AND FOIRTH WITH THE SAME 3 POUNDS

I had an open RNY on 8/13/04 so a little behind you. I have been fluctuating the last 10 days with a couple of pounds and it is making me CRAZY!. Glad I'm not the only one this is happening to. Jodi V (KS)

Jodi- i am also open rny on 8/13. i am only down 32 pounds so i think i am losing pretty slowly. i try to stay off the scale. i have an official weigh in in my birthday suit on friday mornings. that is the only weight that i count. if i get on the scale in between it makes me nuts. ellin

I finally got out of it...this is my third stall in 7 weeks. Here is what I did. I upped my protein to 90 a day. a shake in the morning and one right before bed. I use the nectar shake, it has 23 grams in it. I upped my food to 650 calories, 20-30 carbs and less than 20 fat. I went from 259 to 255 since Monday. I am out of the plateau! Yeah!

I have had same problem. Mine I do believe is from not enough walking.

My home scale is evil. I try to only trust the doc's. I have upped my calorie intake (or trying to) from 600-900 to 800-1000, heck, I may go as high as 1200. I am fairly certain that after the intitial shock of having so little calories and losing weight fast, by body realizes it is starving. Prior to this, when I ate 1900-2100 calories, I could lose 3-7 pounds per week. I have also committed to more regular exercise. I haven't had the energy until last week. I think I did something 3x last week. This week, I have re-committed to doing at least 5 sessions of something. It may seem like it is slow, but when I think 45 pounds in 9 weeks is great. Nona

I am on that darn see saw too! I blame it on the huricains and the drop in barimetric pressure LOL. no I have had a bad flu and then a cold to top it off my montly friend was 9 long days of hell. I think my body says woAH! I am -about 35# depening on how many times a day I want to weight myself!!..I am no longer a glutten well, only for punishment ! Be well! KImw

I was on a plateau as well, and I think mine was due to my "monthly visitor". I gained 5 lbs and vowed to stay off the scale until after my cycle. I got on the scale this morning and I am 7 lbs lighter that a week ago. I have lost a total of 30 lbs

My WLS was on 8-3. I've dropped 37 pounds, with most in the first few weeks. Over the past 3 weeks its only been 1-2 pounds per week. Kicked up my excercise routine and don't feel like I could eat any less. The doctor says this is normal and not to get concerned, but I am anyway. I want it to keep melting away and stay on track. I am eating "normal" foods (low carbs, some fruits & veggies, hamburger) and haven't gotten sick once. Guess that I should consider myself lucky when compared to some other stories I see.
