Topic: RE: 106lbs gone since surgery....

I had a month stall and then one week I lost 5 and the next week lost 6. Or something like that - I don't really weigh myself weekly - I usually try to go over a week because the stalls are demoralizing! I love to see that scale go down - watching it go up and down and pound or two is the pits!

I have lost a lot of hair too, but it's worth it. And I can eat way more - especially things that pulverize by chewing into a liquid - like salad and other watery things. But meats are still pretty much 3 to 4 ounces at the most - they're so dense they stay in my stomach a long time.

Don't feel like you're alone on those stalls - i felt the same way you do - I was afraid my weight loss was coming to an end because it didn't move for a month - then all of a sudden it started going down again! I did take a closer look at what I was eating and how much when i got to the stalls - I cut out the grape and orange juice and made sure i wasn't eating so many carbs. I also started doing the protein shakes again. All of that helped, plus my body probably needed some time to stabilize again.

Good luck - I hope you're encouraged by everyone - I sure am!

Topic: 6 months

wow i cant believe that its been 6 months already, i'm down 97 pounds and i'm so glad that i had my RYN when i first got on OH i would read about people lossing 100 pounds in 6 months and think how the he!!!!!!!!! but now i know that it can happen or almost happen in my case.

i go for my 6th month post op on the 29th and want to be 100 pounds lighter.

if anyone wants to share what tehy are eating daily that would really help me out, i seem to try and grab the wrong foods when i do eat and that is scary to me.

good luck and congrats on all of your weight losses

keep up the great work

Congrats. sounds like you really are doing well. I am going to be 6 months next Monday. I lost 20 lbs during the month of Dec before my surgery. since surgery I have lost another 88 lbs. I am hoping to up that by at least 2 lbs by next week. That will be a total of 110 lbs! I am so excited by my rny too.
