I'm almost 7 mths post RNY and have lost 115#.  Prior to surgery I was taking the max amount of Actos and metaglip and my BS's were still very unstable.  At 5.5 mths my A1C was 5 and all my meds were dc'd.  Since then, I have not lost any weight and I am getting very discouraged.  I'm doing everything I know to do--exercising even more, eating very well, getting all my protein and water in, keeping my carbs down-- but I just cannot break this stall.  I still need to lose 80#.  I feel great physically and I know that stalls are inevitable but this one is esp. long and I'm afraid it will never break.  I wonder if there is some correlation with the discontinuation of my diabetic meds.  Has anyone else ever experienced this?

I don't think it is related to your meds being dc'd becauseactually Actos can make you retain fluid

and meta glip is acombination of metphormin and glipizide, glipizide is a sulfynurea which can actually make you gain weight, @ 7 months out you have probably just hit a stall don't worry the scale will start moving again, just keep doing what you are doing and good luck
