I keep forgetting to ask my doctor why we can't have carbination. Is it because of the gas? Was anyone given a reason?

Kristy,
I know how you feel, I have only lost 5 lbs in a few weeks, it must be a stall. I increased my water and that has helped and I am losing inches. So I guess it is inches when you don't lose weight. I am walking but I don't get cleared for exercise til the end of this month. I had an open RNY and my doc doesn't want me to get a hernia. So when I start to exercise that may help too. Good luck with those scales, they are evil! lol

Go to Walmart and buy yourself a pedometer, I got mine for $5, you will amaze yourself as the miles add up fast!

I started walking 1 time around a local park which was .71 miles. I did that for about 2 weeks. Now I usually walk about 2-3 miles when it is cold, (like today brrrr, my nose is still cold) and I walk at least 4 miles on warm days. No matter the weather or how I feel I always drag myself outside, I always feel better afterwards and my dog loves the daily walks! I also do about 150 reps on an ab lounger at least a couple times a week and just yesterday joined a new fitness club opening tomorrow called Anytime Fitness. I plan on being there everyday and still walking. I am determined to hit -100 by July 4.
Let me know after you measure, I GUARANTEE you are going to be pleasantly surprised!!

Hi, thanks for the compliment. Out of curiousity, how many days a week and for how long are you now walking? I'm sure upping my exercise would help, so I'm gonna focus on that.
I never did take beginning measurements, but I've got from size 28 pants to 24 or 22 depending. I'm definately happy about that. First time in YEARS I've had to wear a belt, which is a good feeling. I gotta get out that tape measure. :-)
Congrats on how well you've done so far, the inches lost is amazing, as is 50lbs! YEA!!

OMG all that Advil! It's a wonder your stomach isn't a walking ulcer!!! Holy moly!
You might want to see a chiropactor or talk to your surgeon about your back. The father of one of my friends had the surgery and experienced really horrible back pain post surgey. It was actually a result of the weight loss. His pre-surgery weight had caused him to start walking/sitting/moving, etc. in a way to compensate for the weight. When it started coming off, his muscles and stuff were all improperly aligned for the body without all the fat! He's much better now but took him a while to realize what was going on and what the pain was from.
The increased energy is a great sign! That will continue to improve, I'm sure! Last weekend I went on a three hour cleaning spree in my house. I HATE cleaning! lol So.. the weight loss had at least one positive! Now.. mind you, I haven't done it again since... but boy was it nice when it happened!
Keep up with the walking...stay the course and the weight will start coming off again! Mine has also been pretty slow and I am aggravated at times. Then, I remind myself of all the things I pointed out to you in the earlier post. We're gonna be great! You'll see! Don't get discouraged!

Hey Kristy!
First let me say from looking at your picture it sure looks like you have lost a LOT more than 41 pounds. I was stuck at what seemed like a never ending stall, then I started doubling my walking and it started dropping again.
Have you taken measurements? I did this last week and had lost 24.5 inches since surgery! I checked again today and another 8 inches overall and this is just measuring my waist, hips, upper arms and neck. That is 32.5 inches! I wish I had done the rest of me but I know it's coming off. Measure yourself, look at your pictures side by side.. YOU LOOK AWESOME!! The scales are NOT the only measure!
