Slowing of weight loss????

Hello everyone! My surgery date was 12/08/03. I have lost sinse surgery 54 pounds, and 62 pounds sinse 11/03. I have noticed last week that I only lost one pound. I weighed yesterday which was Sunday and I had finally lost the one pound from 248 to 247. Now I get on the scale this morning and it says 248!!!!! I have not had this happen before. My weight loss has always been at leat 3 pounds in a week. Have any of you gone up and down? I am not sure if this a plateau or not. I just know I am a little concerned. I am trying to get in all my protein and liquids. Help!!!! Sandy

We have the same surgery date Happy three month anniversary. This was happening to me over that last three weeks. The same 1 pound would come and go....I thought I was going to scream Someone told me last week to up my intake a little and see if that helped. I did and I started losing again. Try logging what you eat into fitday.com, you may not be getting enough calories and you body has gone into starvation mode. Good luck Jackie -55

Sandy, Yes, this is normal to go up and down. I do it all the time. I am a daily weigher so I see it constantly. You THINK you lost a pound then it magically appears again the next day. Don't worry, it WILL go away again! Tracy

SANDY and JACKIE and all other 12-8's Happy 3 month Anniversary to us!! Sandy, I had this same experience this week. On Saturday I was at 181 and thought for sure that I'd hit 180 today, but this am the scale said 182 I was wanting to hit that magical -65lbs today but got -63 instead! Oh, well, this week we will drink, drink, drink and it WILL go away. Keep up the good work Kimberly

I don't weigh myself. I wait to go to the doctors. I may get a scale soon but as of yet I do not have one. The only thing I do is before I go to bed an d sometimes in the AM I measure my waist. It goes up and down. I went to the doctors today because of a cold. she weighed me in at 320 lbs a month ago I saw her and she took my weight but it was not in the chart. Man that was frustrating... Oh well I see the doc on March 17th the doc wants me to have 25lbs off. I don't know. I hope so....

I think I just hit my first plateau I was at 68 lbs down for 9 days and finally the scaled moved on sunday for 2 more lbs. Even though I know all about plateaus and had read about other people experiencing the same thing, it still freaked me out. BTW I am a Dec 8th person too, Happy Anniversary to us!! Sandra

Happy Three Months Everyone!!! Thank you so much to all of you that have replied. I know now I am not alone and you all are going thru the same things. I just hope the weight loss will pick back up. I have tried to drink so much today that I feel as if I'm gonna explode I am sure with patience I will start loosing again! Thanks again! Sandy 310/248/160

Sandy...I had surgery on 12/12 and I was on a weight loss stop for 2 weeks. I was driving me nuts! I know it is normal to kinda plateau but I feared that this WLS had stopped working. However, I am happy to report that I went down another 2 pounds this morning! So that makes 57 pounds all together! I really made sure that I was getting plenty to eat. Hang in there...we all go through this Karie
