Question:
5 mon. post-op and have not lost any weight this last month, what can be going on?

I have lost 50 lbs. since my surgery in January 2007. This last month I actually gained a pound and am feeling very disappointed. What can be going on with me? I am not eating more than before. Please help!    — margaret34 (posted on July 9, 2007)

Iam also 5 months post op and have only lost 55 pds since my surgery on Feb 5, 2007. I have not done anything different and am very concerned. I was wondering if it might be because I haven,t the time for the walking. ?Also, please help. D lambert

From what has been said beforehand, you might be a stall because your body has to catch up with the quick loss. Be patient, drink your liquids, and remember protein first, and your weight will start dropping again. Don't forget to measure because even though the scale is not showing a loss, you are more than likely losing inches so have someone measure your body for inches lost. Also are your clothes getting bigger? That is another indicator that you are losing.

Don't worry about stalls. Trust your body. If you lose too fast, it slows down for a little while. It is not a race, Be healthy and happy. The weight you have lost so far is gone, take a moment to see how far you've come. Rebecca

im also 5 months out and i lost only 40lbs. its called your body is starting to platoe. and it begins to loose inches of fat insted of water. we have to pray for patience. in one year we all will look back and be very happy about the weight loss. i can say 1 good thing. even though im loosing slow , my skin isnt sagging. which is great for me. but rember when plateo the scale jumps around 2-5bls back n forth then suddenly you drop a large amount. be patient
