frustrating stall

so they tell me it's temporary... but i am frustrated. i havent lost anything since october 2nd. i fluctuate between 233 and 237.5  i went for my 6 week post op appointment and the p.a. was happy with my loss.. she said not to worry. but of course i do worry. i worry that, this is it............ive lost 28 lbs and will lose no more! this is my honeymoon period!!! where's the love? lol

It is temporary, but it doesn't make it any easier when your in the middle of those stalls.  They are extremely fustrating.   Just continue to stick to your sugeons recommendations of what you should be eating at this point.   Keep up your fluids and your protein and mix up your exerciese routine.  Don't starve yourself or your body will go into storage mode and not let you loose because it thinks it has to save every calorie for survival.   I have been fluctuating between the same 2 lbs myself for the last 10 days and I want so badly to make my mini-challenge for halloween and I am afraid I am going to miss it.   Keep the faith and it will all melt away.

i stalled at 27 lbs also and i was told that you lose either lbs or inches so i guess this is your inches time....... just keep doing what your doing and you will have continued sucess... its not over by any stretch of the imagination.....peoplel are under the impression that this is a quick fix but its not its work and you can do it!!!!! i hope this helps and good luck to you you have had a great success already!!!!!

You're doing great, sweetie!  I personally know the stalls are frustrating...I've only lost 8 lbs in 3 months.  I would be if you took measurements, you'll see you're losing inches!!!  I have been.  This is when we have to use our inner strengths and stick to what we need to in our NEW LIVES.  We're all here to support ya through it!

Muah

I had the same problem...please don't worry.  I was told that the body goes into "starvation mode".  After a few weeks...the body figures out that you are ok and the weight loss starts.  I still have small plateaus..but, ususally the next week I lose big.  I can't tell you to stay away from the scale because I am addicted also, but, try not to let it get you down.  Keep the faith!

thank you, thank you to all *****sponded :-) yeah.........i really need an intervention with my scale. lol someone please take it from me!

Neongem,  Same doc's office, same P.A., same conversation.  I guess Donna hears this all day long. I've been through the exact same thing, I told her my surgery didn't work (LOL) It's taken me 3 weeks to get off the 169 mark, then in the last 2 days I lost 2 lbs.   It is definately temporary, and your honeymoon will continue.

Thank you, Karen! Well..........i THINK the scale might've moved... i was 233 this afternoon with jeans on. we'll see tomorrow.
