Topic: RE: Any other September stallers?
Big time stall here! It's been a month since I've lost any weight and it is driving me crazy to say the least! The one good thing is I've lost 5 inches since my stall started...not sure how but I did. But for some reason, the no weight loss thing is still getting to me.
Topic: RE: Any other September stallers?
I'm a weekly (on Monday) weigher, but damn if this stall doesn't make me want to get on the scale everytime I eat, drink, poo or pee! No matter what tho...it's always at 299 or 300! What a mind f*ck it is! I just stay out of our home office, since that's where the scale is and if I see it, I'm on it...how different things are...6 months ago I would beg the doctor not to make me get on the scale, now it's all I want to do! I just went through my last 4 weeks in my food and exercise journal (I use FatSecret, on my phone and on the computer), and I've got a 2000+ calorie deficit every single day (calories in vs calories burned), so mathematically that should be oodles of weight lost. I think 300 is just a sticking point...when I was gaining all this weight, I stayed 295-305 for a long time, so I guess it'll hang out there for a while going down, too. When I'm swimming, I usually think about how every lap is a little more of me gone, but this week it's been every lap is a flipping waste of my damn time, and I hate thinking like that...but I'm still exercising so no worries. I just have to get out of this negative thinking process.

Not a stall, but the weekly weight loss has significantly slowed down over the past month. The thing that works best for me is to hide the scale for a week. I would constantly weigh myself (at least two times a day) and it was affecting my day / eating habits. Stick to your plan, and then hop on the scale at the end of the week.
Hope this helps!

I've seen 2 other people on here who had surgery the same time I did and are also stalled. The scale has been bouncing back and forth between 299 & 300 since January 18th. I'm starting to have a hard time coping with it. Anyone else?

Hi I just read your post. I had surgery sept. 19 and have lost about 70 lbs. I do have a tough time eating some things. Have gotten food stuck a couple of time. I hate that. But overall I am thrilled . How much have you lost. Are you getting all your protein and water in?

Dear Girl ,
Just saw your post and wonder how the weight loss is for you now. I had RNY on 9/19. Since then I have lost 70 lbs. I feel so much better but I seem to be able to eat more and that worries me. Did I stretch my stomach? I struggle to get all the water in.
Any way I am 51 years old and I think age does play a part in all this too.
Tell me how you are

Topic: RE: Surgery September 15th .......
This is my first post on OH. I had my surgery on Sept 12. Just wondering how you are doing?
I am down 48 pounds but it's been slow in the past two months. -27 the first month, -10 the second, then -7 the third.... Down to about a pound a week now, yet I am only eating about 800 calories a day!
I need to connect with someone.

Hi, I had surgery on 9/26 and I have lost 46lbs so far. Here is what I eat on a daily basis:
7am - protein shake
9am - coffee with protein
10am - egg, cheese and sausage patty (only able to eat 1/2)
1pm - salad with chicken or chili or tuna w/lettuce
4pm - cashews or protein shake
7pm - grilled chicken or salmon with veggies
if I have room for a snack I will have SF Icepop or grapes
Also I am drinking water throughout the day 64 to 72oz.
Just make sure that you are getting in at least 60 - 90 grams of protein per day and drinking plenty water. So far you are doing good, but I would eliminate some of carbs (mini bagel crisps) since you are early post-op you want to maximize your loss.
