In need of some help!!!

Hi everyone...It has been a while since I have been here. I am having a problem and I need some help!! I am almost 7 weeks post-op (8/21/06) and I haven't lost any weight for about 2 weeks now. Could i be doing something wrong? I need help. I am scared that I am not going to lose anymore weight and i did it all for nothing!! Am i imagining all of this? I am so scared...please i need some advice!!!

Hi Angie You are doing every ok. I looked at your profile and you have already lost some 40 pounds . it is just your body catching up with the big weight loss . dont worry you will lose more. Right now you may be losing inches . You were just barely 40 bmi anyway werent you? it will start up again. just keep doing protein first, lots of water and walking or other exercise. Hang in there and you have already lost a lot of weight for only 7 weeks out . Jan

Angie, Don't be afraid. If you are following your Dr and Nutritionist's advice you will lose more. I haven't had my surgery yet but, like you, I'm a lightweight and am trying to prepare myself to not lose like other people on this site. Just know that you will lose more and drink lots of water and don't stop eating. You are so beautiful. I cannot wait to see your "after" pictures in a few months. Lana

Hey Angie, You're going through something that everyone does....don't worry your weight will slowly come off. Drink your water and like the others said get your protein in. I know everyone is different but, I don't weight every single day...it would drive me I pick one day a week and I do it 1st thing in the morning. You'll be surprised how much it will differ throughout the day. Try not to worry and you will see that this too shall pass. Take care, Kelli
