Stalled since Feb!

I am so upset! I think it may be my antidepression meds. I am calling the doc tomorrow to ask about it!

Hi casey Yes that does seem like along time to be in a stall. allthough my doc told me that stalls are a good thing. I was in one a few months ago and I'm in one now. Its seems like every 10 or 15 lbs I go into a stall. I really hate those too. I hope you start up soon. Betty

Casey; What anti-depression med are you on? Have you tried the Plateau Buster diet? How much protein and water are you getting each day? Are you keeping a food diary? Anytime I stall for a week or more, I really re-evaluate everything I'm doing and go back to basics by increasing my protein, water, and exercise. By keeping a food diary, I can look back on good weeks and bad weeks and see if there's any trends. Blessings, Jennifer 253 / 175 / 137

I am having the same problem!!! I am not, however, on any meds. I dont know what the problem is. I had my 6 month appt w/my doc last week, that I cancelled b/c I was so embarressed about this. I absolutely dreaded thinking about stepping on that scale. They wanting to see a big difference, and I know I am not. i have been the same size, possibly fluctuating b/t 4-5lbs every week. This is just crazy to me. I have, just this week tried changing my eating habits to see if I see any changes. On Sunday, I was still afraid to get on the scale. I just do not want to be disappointed. I think I am going to wait till this Sunday to see if I see a difference. I Started back exercising hard last week on Last Wednesday, of course, I feel and spranged my ankle. So for now, I am not doing any exercising, but trying to let my ankle heal. It is like I cant win for loosing!!!

If you're not having the expected outcome with your surgery, the last thing you should do is cancel a follow up appointment with your surgeon. Call and reschedule your appointment right now. It could be that your surgeon didn't make your pouch small enough or some other type of complication. Again, some of the same questions I asked Casey...how much protein and water are you getting each day? If you're not getting enough, it's possible your body has gone into starvation mode and is conserving everything it can. Have you tried Plateau Buster? Please be careful and make sure your ankle is completely healed before beginning exercise again. The last thing you want or need is a recurring ankle problem because you're trying to push yourself too hard. Blessings, Jennifer

Casey, I feel your pain, there was actually a point this month I went from 208 to 220 in a week. I was devistated. I am now back down to 215 but I will not be showing a weightloss for the month of April. I go see my surgeon and my GP within the next few weeks and am going to discuss it with them then. You're not alone, Janet
