HELP PLEASE I AM STUCK AND NOT LOOSING A THING!!!!!!!

Ok I have been stuck and have not lost a pound but have actually been gaining and am getting very upset. Has this ever happened to anyone else?? I am 5 months post op and have STOPPED loosing.. This doesn't seem normal. What is wrong with me??

Hey Lisa, Long time no see! Remember me? We met the night you went to your first meeting! Don't get too freaked out about stalling. Elina once told us that it's our body's normal reaction and it needs to "adjust" so it's actually a good thing. I've been playing with the same 5 lbs for a month now. Have you upped your exercising? That's my problem, not exercising enough. Take a deep breath, you will "plateau" every once and while. Watch what you are eating and go back to the basics if you have to. Good luck to you and I'll try to keep in touch! ~Robin

Lisa, There is nothing wrong with you sweetheart. I am in the same boat you are. Everyone tells me its normal, your body is adjusting the weightloss and it will start up again. Its been 13 months for me and I am going out of my mind. Your still pretty new so don't get nervous, it should start picking up again. If it does not call your surgeon to see maybe if you should change your eating habits. Take it easy and you will do fine. Hugs KimC

Hi lisa! Calm down. Whats happening to you happens to all of us! This is the tricky part of the "Journey" s some of us get very frustated by this and can slip back to the comfort of food to calm us. I went 2 months playing with the same 5 pounds. Just stay on track and try not to look at that scale too much. You have lots of things going on at the same time, losing fat, gaining muscle, drinking alot of water, so don't stress out. It will get better! Take Care, Julio

Relax...you have lots a lot of weight in a short period of time and your body's like WTF??? It needs time to adjust and then you will start losing again. Trust me when I tell you your window of weight loss is open as long as you would like it to be...I stopped losing between yrs 1-2 and when it did start again, I dropped 30 lbs really quickly. Your body is acting normally... Jessica 6 days until full abdominalplasty!!
