frustrated!!!!!

I have not lost an ounce in 2 1/2 weeks and I am getting so irritated. I am 8 weeks post and have lost 55 lbs and I know that is good but man oh man almost 3 weeks and no change.....I am getting depressed thinking something has happened and I am not gonna lose another lb..Oh well I know be patient. Thanks for letting me vent.

I'm right there with you girl!!! I've been stuck at -65 for 2.5 weeks. The best I can bring myself to say is " this will pass" " this is normal" grrrr. echoing your vent, Sue K.

I have slowed way down also - have lost about 47# but only one or two in the last 10 days. I have been eating more than I was but I also started exercising about 30 minutes a day. Must be normal at this stage.

Well, I am glad that I am not the only one. I am right with all of you. I'll be 10 wks tomorrow and I am down to -56 lbs (according to my unreliable scale). I have been drinking more water, protein, exercising everyday and now my weight has stalled. I think I was doing better when I wasn't drinking a lot of water or the protein but now that I am able to do the "right" thing my weight has slowed down. I am going to keep thinking that I am losing inches but I would rather see the weight fall off. I am thankful to God for the -56 lbs because I know that I couldn't have done it on my own. Ok, thanks for allowing me to vent.... JaNae

I've lost 40 lbs in the 7 weeks since my surgery, but i find that the week before my period (both months so far) and the week OF my period I don't lose an ounce.... then after I finish my period things move again.

I had surgery 12/28/05 and I haven't lost a lb in three weeks. I thought I was doing something wrong. I keep saying I'v failed at everything else now I'm failing at wls. I am trying to be patient. I hid my scale under my bed this morning so I can't weigh. You are not alone. Sandy

You guys have nothing to be so frustrated about. I go for my 3 month check up next thursday and have only lost 30 pounds to date. That is pathetic, i would be doing just as well without the surgery. i cant eat less, i barely eat now. I feel your pain, keep up your spirits and hang in there. sally

I am sooo sorry that you are going through, this........but eating too little might be your problem. Your body won't let go of the weight if your not eating. Especially protein. You are in my prayers

My goodness you have all done so good! I am one month post today and have lost 30 lbs. I am thrilled to death, but know that I will hit a stall soon and also know it will be depressing, but I know now that this is and will work for me if I just keep doing what I'm doing. After the first two weeks and losing 20 lbs I didn't lose anything for the next 4 days and was scared that I had screwed it up too! BUt it is just our bodies adjusting to the rapid loss. This is working for all of us! Let's just keep it up and keep thinking about where we will be by late summer!! Sylvia RNY 1/23

I'm 9 1/2 weeks out and I finally decided this is par for the course. I used to get so upset about it, but not anymore. I still weigh every day, but I have come to the conclusion that I will not fail at this! If I do what I'm supposed to do, the weight is going to come off. My goal is to be at my goal weight a year from surgery date, so in my mind I have plenty of time. Anyway, just keep up the good work and it will come off! I also do my measurements once a month and that encourages me as well. Just a suggestion! Sherry 259/217
