Getting discouraged

At 7 months out weight loss has slowed down. I know I should be happy that I am down 110lbs but I want it to keep going. (It is still going down just very very slow).  At least it is not going up. I have stepped up my protien and my water so I hope this helps. Anyone else find it slowing down after sometime? Is it not too soon to slow down? Tressa

I dont know specifically about RNY since i had Lapband but Dr. Gornichec did tell me as my BMI gets lower the weight will come off slower.  He told me i would have to up the exercise .  Dont get discouraged , you have come so far , you should be very proud !!!!!  We just have to keep going , you will make it!!!!

Tressa. I'm very discouraged too.  I'm 2 weeks from being 3 mos out and it seems as everything has stopped.  I can't get over the 200# mark.  My scale has been reading 200 for the last 2 weeks.  Everyone keeps telling  me I've lost 70# - be happy.  But I'm not.  Just plain and simple..  I'm ready to lose more I wonder if its a plateu or something else.  I wanted the scales to read in the 1's but its just not happening.....

I guess I should have said something happy and positive.....  My mother lost from 272 down to 117 and has been there for the last 4 1/2 yrs.  I know if I think about it the last bit of weight came off slowly. however, I do remember going to see her after a couple of weeks and it really would show.  So, don't get discouraged - I'm sure it will still come off!  Remember to keep drinking your water between meals!  -  See you @ MiMi's Wednesday!!  -Sandy

Wow , I am so proud of both of you. Your doing a great job and its so encouraging to me. From all I have read its common for the weight loss to slow down for a bit but dont worry it will come off stay strong!

I hit that 7 month stall too,  go look at my numbers and dates, you will pick back up I promise!

Yes, mine has slowed down allot.  Next week will be the start of my 7th month and I'm down 105 pounds.  I've only lost 5 pounds in the past 3 weeks.  I liked it better when I saw BIG numbers.  I am very proud of loosing 105 pounds this far out but I'm ready to start loosing a bit faster now.   Hang in there....

I have stoped all together.  and I am 9 months out  and I am at Dr Gs goal but not really mine  I would like to do 10 more pounds

I'm 4 months out and have hit 2 plateaus already. It's frustrating hitting the scale and seeing the same number. However, when it finally drops it drops well. I haven't weighed myself in nearly 3 weeks..I only weigh at the doctor's office because the are the only scales I know are true. Also, I don' t own any on purpose because I'd probably be on them every day.

did you happen to take measurements or are you seeing a change in how your clothes fit? I'm sure your loss will pick up again...
