I am 2 months and 3 weeks out and have lost 65 lbs. Yet I still go through days where I don't lose weight. No worries you will lose again....when I find that this happens, it's usually because I am not getting in enough protein. When I star****ching my protein usually I start losing again. I've gone about 1 and a half weeks with out losing any weight. But then will suddenly drop another 5-6 lbs. I totally understand your frustration though. But remember you have lost sooooo much already, be proud of that.

Always weigh yourself AND take your measurements. When one doesn't go down the other almost always will.

I stalled for 2 weeks starting at seven weeks PO. WELL--not only did I stall I gained seven pounds!!! YIKES! However when I talked to my surgeon, he reassured me that between 6-8 weeks po some people stop losing, because your body THINKS IT IS STARVING! Also, at 5 weeks my PCP removed me from my diuretic--blood pressure is LOW now. This of course totally changed my bodies fluid balance and retention. So I focused on the positive, I was still losing inches, I was of the BP meds, and the diabetic meds. I increased my water and protien. AND I only weighed myself once a week.The scale started moving at week 9 again! So in my 2nd month I only lost eight pounds total(not including the seven I gained). Now I am two weeks shy of 3 month anniversary and I have lost a total of 58 pounds. Hang in there! Venting does help though doesnt it?
