Is not losing well a complication?

If I'm in the wrong place then I'm sorry I was told to come here. I am almost 6mo out and haven't lost 50lbs even. It feels like food goes right through me, and then I can feel a lump on my left side under my rib cage sorta. Theres not a full feeling hardly. Except there. I do most everything I'm suppose to except the excersize as much as I should. I was 253 surgery day and am now 207-210 depending. Also 5ft. Lightweight or not most of the lightweights I see or read about lose just as fast as the heavier people so I'm not beliving that anymore. Anyone got any ideas?? Marti

WEll I'm sorry to hear. I am around your weight and I am pre-op but just be positive. I guess 50 lbs permantly .....is better than nothing but I know what you mean. You kind of feel like dang.... I didn't do a life threatening surgery for 50 lbs. Are you seeing a dietitian (SP). I don't know if they would have any ideas.

i've seen lightweights who've lost slower than you (4-5 _ounds a _onth) so hang in there Key_oard not workin tonight ack :D Nancy

dont feel bad I only lost 25 lbs and its been 2 yrs. I going to my phys. Thurs and tell him I want a redo at his cost. Wish me luck

Hi Patty,What happen? I too am losing very slow. I sometimes think that my pouch stretched out. I get full fast but Im not losing.I even think that I gained a couple of lbs. But why didnt the surgery work for you? Rosie

Marti- I assume you are following the diet and exercising. Have you spoke to your doctor or nutritionist? That is what they are they for. I have read that typically men lose faster than women. I don't have any answer for you, but I am glad to help support you in anything.

Hi Marti, I just love your profile. I love that song too. I lost slow to. I want to tell you i lost more inches then weight. I am 13 months out and i have lost 100 pounds. I gain 2-5 pounds and then lose thoses pounds. Then gain and lose. I was in size 22 and now in size 3-4. I would bot lose a oz but try on a pair of jeans exp.... size 8 and thay would fit. 2 weeks before that I was in a size 10. So, Keep an eye on your inches. Good luck, Debra

I am in the same boat. I am 5'9" and started at 290 day of surgery 2/05 and have lost 50lbs but haven't lost any weight in the last two months. I exercise 5-6 times a week but find I can eat as much as I want. I am experiencing distention of my abdomen terrible gas and pain on my right side but they have ruled out a hernia or gallbladder issues. I feel lumps on both my left and right side under my rib cage. Feel free to contact me and if I figure anything out I will share it with you.
