Hey Ladies! I am 15 weeks out from surgery and down a total of 68lbs. 48 since 9/25. I feel awesome! I went from barely being able to walk 1.5 miles to jogging 4 days a week. I also lift weights and do circuit training. I am so glad that I made the decision to have wls. My whole life has changed in the most profoundly positive ways. I love my band! Glad to hear that you all are having such wonderful results as well. Cheers! ~Cathleen

Yep! I was there too until this morning.....I kept losing and re-gaining the same 3 pounds and then this morning I finally went below the 'stall point' and got down an extra 1.2 pounds - this had been going on since about Jan 1. I kept to the plan - 65 - 90 g of Protein everyday, good lean protein; vitamins as prescribed; 70+ oz of water each day and I know I was losing inches just not any extra pounds until today. Oh, and I walk about 45 minutes, give or take a few every day. Hang in there - watch the carbs, drink your water, do your protein, get your exercise and it will come off!!!

I do know what you are going though ..... but when you are not loosing you are loosing inches.... I have just went though a 4 week and only lost 5 pounds but i went down 3 pant size so I know that is what is going on.... hang in there and it will all work out... and about the eatting more that works too or for me it did, and I was told that by my Doc... good luck

Brenda: That's typical. Anytime I hit a plateau I find that I am loosing inches and not pounds. Also, you are building muscle with the exercise and muscle weighs more than fat. In the long run the weight will come off. Some people here actual say to increase your food intake and it helps. I haven't tried that so I'm not sure. Keep up the good work. Peg Miller

Congratulations, Nicole! It sounds like you're doing great I had my surgery Sept. 13th and I am down 60 since surgery and 16 before that so I am counting 76 lbs...woohoo!!! Of course, I still at times worry that this isn't going to work for me which is silly, I know. I am also losing hair everywhere. Thank goodness I had a lot of it to start with! It's so nice to hear from others with Sept. surgeries who are doing so well. Thanks for posting!! -Christine
