You have been quit the inspiration for me and I'm sorry that you are having a difficult week. I can't give much advise as I have just started my weight loose journey but can only say I am here if you need somebody to talk to. Keep your chin up and the great work. Thirty pounds is definitely something to be proud of!
How are you doing?

thanks so much for your post...you guys always give me courage. Pam said she busted her stall so I have hope! Hope you are feeling well and I am excited that you have graduated from the surgeon to the bariatric physician!

So glad for your bustin the stall! I have been depressed, At the 3 week point my loss stopped, I have lost 1 lb in the last week...I will be going to the doctor on Tuesday...hopefully he will release me to the gym. I was so excited after the surgery, gut as of now I have lost only 15 lbs...pissed. Just have to keep doing what I am doing I guess. I should put it in perspective though as I have never lost 15 lbs in a month before. I feel so selfish for feeling sorry for myself. Just gotta stay the course! Keeps on loosing girl.

Thanks Tiffani and Karen. I think I was just having a crappy day. I think it may be the fluids. Today I only got 42 oz. I will def start tomorrow and drink more. 32 oz before 2pm and the other 32 before bedtime. Ill let you know. Thanks again for encouraging me. I really needed it.

Hang in there Shannon and don't get discouraged. I had lost far more than 30 lbs before I went down a size. Plus, if you are sticking to the program, you know you didn't gain fat. It's most likely water weight. It seems counterintuitive, but if you drink more you will flush out the excess water you may have on board.
Be proud of the 30 lbs you have lost, and just think of how good you will feel when the scale rewards you for your perseverance!!

Don't get discouraged!!! There will be ups and downs. Try upping your water intake. My program requires more than 64oz a day! My surgeon says that it helps with "washing" the fat away. Awesome job on your protein intake!!!!
Yeah. Great news. 18 is a great # to start with. At least you are loosing and you have lost more than 18 because you have also lost the extra 8 that you got while in the hospital. I know you were going to have a bunch of labs done, how did they turn out?

I have not only stalled this week but I gained 2 pounds. I almost had a nervous break down. I told my bf that I want to give up. I am trying so hard and I gain 2 pounds?Nothing has changed in the 5 weeks except I may not be getting 48 oz of liquids. I work out 6x a week and eat 70+ protein daily. I am trying though. I was even more upset going shopping for new scrubs today. I am still in 3x top and pant. After loosing 30 lbs I would have thought I would have gone down a size. It is my saggy bariatric tummy. I cant fit my pants over the saggy tummy. Uggghhhh I am having a horrible week.
