HELLO MY DECEMBER FAMILY; I think I have hit another stall and I am very upset as I had one when I was about a month post-op that lasted 3 weeks and I am not happy about having another one this soon Anyway I guess there is nothing that I can do about it but and wait it out. I did however increase my protien today and hopefully my water so maybe I will be able to break it sooner this time. I guess I just had to vent a little bit and I need some from my family so lets hear it. Love to you all, James

I've stalled too. Haven't lost in almost 2 weeks now. And even worse, I went for my 3 month checkup and the doctor's scales weighed 7 lbs heavier than mine. I guess we just need to focus on the fact that we have to be losing with the reduced calories we are eating. And maybe we'll step on the scales soon and see a 'big' drop. It is frustrating though.

Hang in there James, Everything in time. Keep up trhe good work. Maybe exercise a little more, you know we all need to do that..lol..lol.. And like I always say, PRAY!! this is guaranteed to work..Just ask. god bless you ...ron in Arizona

Hi James, Don't fret, it will start up again. You are probably just gaining all that buff muscle mass. Do yourself a favor and try on some clothes that you wore LAST month and you will see that they are now toooooo big and you will feel better. Lots of good luck! Fran

DARLING, SWEETIE, BABY... sugar! It is too soon to worry about that. Just drink more water, eat/drink more protein, and up your exercise a bit! We are now 3 months out, and the level of the above that worked for us till now, must be increased! Don't worry so much now, because soon (as I hear), out tummy's will be waking up for more! Smile Luv... Always, Your girl.... Vera, Crew Encourager

hey sweetie... maybe you aren't getting enough calories? Laura

I was so relieved to see the December family page. I too have hit a stall in my weight loss efforts. I was losing very steadily and am exercising daily. But now I havent had any weight loss in two weeks. I do still seem to be losing inches, but my three months is quickly approaching, 3/27 and I am not going to reach my 38% goal set by the nutritionist. I would have to lose 18 pounds to reach the goal the Drs office gave me. I am disappointed by that. I still keep plugging along and hope that the pounds will continue to come off.

Hey James I also had my surgery Dec. 13. My weight has stalled and been stalling for about 2 weeks as well. I am just trying to up my protein and water intake as well as work out at the gym and hopefully the stall will be over soon. Gloria W. 334/283/150??/
