Topic: RE: How Much Have you Lost? Let's have some fun
I had my lap band on 8/7 and feel like I really am not losing weight the way everyone else is. I am getting a little frustrated. I am exercising and eat about a quarter of what I use to eat. I am very happy with the weight I have lost but it is slowing down to a crawl. Any hints? Any ideas to get my body to stop holding on to my extra pounds and let them go?
Start: 252
PreOp: 148
Surgery Date: 8/7/07 (lap band)
Current 230
Total loss: 22 lbs in 4 weeks

I had my RNY on 8/27. I lost 12 lbs. at my first post-op visit and the scale hasn't moved since. My pants are getting bigger by the day, but that darn scale just won't budge! My nurse at the bariatric center warned me that week 2 is notoriously a slow week and not to expect much. I was hoping I would be the exception. Guess not. Hang in there!

Your right, I think I'm going to take my scale and put it away for about a week. It is so frustrating when you look at that scale and its reading the same things. Thanks

YUPE count me in...I weighed the exact same for week & 1/2. I upped protein intake & water (HARD to say the least) but I jump started weight lose again . Only lost two lbs, but i take it. I think it is the body's way of dealing. Stop weighing daily, I had too or I would have went crazy.
