Am I ever gonna loose more weight?
Hi ZeeBaby, I had surgery June 26, 2009, I started @ 267 got down to 184 (size 12) and hit a stall. For about 3months I did not lose one pound.... Then I had to have another surgery on my abdomen (due to complications of the WLS) and in about 1 week after surgery I lost 17lbs... Then I started losing more. Here we are about 2 months after my second surgery and I am at 156...and guess what I have hit another stall!
!
I run/walk anywhere from 2-4 miles a day and I do circuit training. I monitor my eating as well. I spoke with my surgeon and he advised that my body knows what it is doing. He told me that it is not uncommon that after such a fast weight loss the body will hit a plateau and the weight loss slows down. Slows down but not stop!
So with that said...do like me...do not get discourage. Just continue to workout and monitor your eating. With time you will lose again. And so will I. My goal is 135 and I am just a few pounds away. I figure if I could lose 119 lbs I can lose the last 21lbs.
One other thing...stay off the scale. It drives me crazy to weigh myself and see 156, 157, or 158....for weeks and I know that I am doing all I can...but when I put on my clothes I notice they are getting loser and loser by the day! I am wearing anywhere from a size 6 - 8 depending on the cut or designer.
But don't worry...you will start back losing!
