At a standstill

I was banded on 02/15/2011 and a month later I had ankle surgery and I spent the next month from March  to April in a nursing home rehabing...I went 4 weeks ago for a fill and I have lost 39 pounds they saythats good since I have been wearing a boot on my left ankle since April...I really cant do much exercising except walking...which I do with my lil doggy everyday. I seem to have stopped loosing weight...I have been stressed and I have been eating a little more...I haven't gained...or loss. Hopefully tomorrow when I go to the Dr about my ankle I will know  when this boot comes off and when it does I plan on swimming my butt off...but until then I am feeling anxious, stressed...and a little depressed....any motivation ideas out there...I know there isnt a magic pill but any ideaa will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

My advice is to cut yourself some slack for now. You are not gaining and that's good. I would keep doing what your doing until your ankle is healed. Swimming will be fantasti****ep us posted on how your doing. Best wishes.

I was banded mid January and have also gone through a stall.  I knew the reasons, and understood why, but it still is hard to come to terms with.  I've lost about 37 lbs, with no pre-op diet or loss.  I'm also older and a slower loser, and I get all that.  But my clothes kept getting too big, and I hung on to that till the scale finally started moving this month.  Your's will too!
