Been stuck at the same weight for a few weeks

Hi Everyone,

 

I know I don't have the right to complain after losing 80 pounds in the last 7 months. I have been stuck at the same weight for the last 3 weeks. And I know that it is my own fault. I have to lower the calories and up the exercise to get the weight loss going again. The last 20 pounds are going to be harder to get off I have a feeling.

 

I am saying this because I want people to know that we all go through places in this WLS journey that we don't lose weight. I am thrilled that I have not gained a pound during this time. It just proves over and over again that I made the right choice in have the "sleeve." :thumbup1:

 

It still seems a little strange to hear someone tell me that I am "skinny." Skinny is something new and strange for me to hear. But, I look at myself and say YES, you are so slim notice I don't see myself skinny yet) and look so much better than you did last summer. This is a whole new world for me. It has been many years since I felt this good. I actually enjoy getting up early (I am retired) and go walking ealry in the morning with a friend of mine who has lost weight and also was sleeved in April 2009. We are a great support team for each other.

 

So I am open to anything anyone one has done to get past that "no weight loss" for a few weeks. This has been a great board and I really have enjoyed the people on here and being able to share with them, so many of my feelings.

 

Have a great week. I have already walked 3 miles this morning, and plan on golfing this evening when Bob gets home from work. :001_rolleyes:

Hi There,

I am getting sleeved in a few weeks and have done a lot of research as far as protein, etc. goes. One thing to be aware of is SOY is a goitrogen (sp?), meaning it represses your THYROID, so if you have a history of THYROID problems, do not eat soy! I see where there are a lot of liquid shakes that have soy as the main ingredient, so I need to be wary and try whey or rice or egg white protein instead. Good Luck!!
