You are not failing at this. I went through a small stall about that time too. Your body just has to catch up. Make sure you are getting enough protein though. Hang in there it will come off!

Is Shawn feeling better today? I hope so.

All of our bodies do different things after WLS. You are not failing. For me, I'd lose a bunch at one time and them go several days to a week with no weight loss. During this time, I'd keep losing inches. If you're concerned, check in with your nutritionist just for your peace of mind. I know I had some panic attacks thinking I wasn't doing things correctly and a quick check in over email or in person with my surgeon's team always helped.

Take care and be gentle with yourself.

Susan,

No worries, as Elizabeth and Ms. B said it's very normal to stall but we are all so different.  I was similar, I'd lose 3-4 lbs and then nothing but inches for a week or two... which count too!  Make sure you are getting enough liquids and protein in each day and I bet next week or two, you'll be surprised with a big loss.

Hang in their my friend, we don't call this a wild ride for nothing!  LOL

Hugs,
Barb

Thanks Everyone!
At least i havent failed, thank goodness, As for seeing the nutritionist, our drs office only offers group classes and she says the same thing over and over and over, she does no one on one, i think im going to look into getting one who does personal though.

Elizabeth, ill pm you with the latest details, i seriously think we are going to find a new dr though....
