FRUSTRATED!!!

I just need to vent and get some advice. I was expecting my weight loss to be much more consistent and not this rollercoaster that I am on. Last week I weighed in on Sunday and I was down to 223. By Tuesday I was back up to 225 - I stayed there for the whole week and on Saturday weighed in at 222. Well Monday comes and I'm back up to 224 - and not moving once again. This has been happening for the last 4 weeks! I work out EVERYDAY. I drink AT LEAST 64 oz of water everyday and try to eat only high protein, low fat foods and salads. I just don't know what to do - becuase I am doing all the things I WASN'T before when I was gaining weight or staying at 279. Has anyone else experienced this? Am I crazy? What do I do???? HELP!!!! Shannon

Join the club you are not alone alot of us are going through this. I have been told all kinds of things to break that cycle but fact of the matter is when the weight is ready to come off it will just keep up the good work with getting in all your proteins try to stay low carb, get in alot of water and exercise. we didnt put this weight on over night it wont come off over night either 276/215/135 Kim

You're right. Thanks for the encouragement. I really can't expect this to come off overnight just becaus I had surgery - its still a process. Shannon

I am going through the exact same thing!! This month I gained and lost aproximately 7 pounds- and I expected the weight loss to me consistent with the other months at 20 pounds. I just keep chugging along...

I guess we both have to keep chugging along. You are a beauty!! You look great now! I know what you mean about the wedding pic (I took a look at your page) I wish I could take new photos too. My husband wants us to renew our vows next year so maybe I'll get a chance to. Good luck to you Shannon

Welcome to my world! I do this constantly too! For the past two weeks now I have been up and down two pounds. I just got my period today and I'm praying this damn stall will end. I've gotten to where I don't even care anymore! By the way, I also work out and drink till I can't stand it anymore, even tried sucking lemons in my tea. It's going to come off for us, don't worry!

Thanks for the encouragment. It is nice to know that I am not alone and not the only person that WLS is a frustrating experience for. Good luck to you! Shannon

Don't stress it! It will come! We all go through those things and I know it's frustrating but this too shall pass. Keep your head up! Just be prepared when it starts falling off! Take care and keep up the good work. Keke

Thanks for the encouragement! Shannon
