I have also been stalled for almost 2 months. I fluctuate up and down 5 pounds and it's driving me crazy. I have started jogging (only 1 mile-it's all I can do at this point) and I just gained another pound. How did you keep yourself motivated and keep from giving up. I'm quickly losing hope that I will ever lose weight again!

There is no change in the way my clothes are fitting. I feel some muscle in my arms but I have so much saggy skin in my stomach and legs that it's hard to tell if I'm gaining muscle. I definitely don't feel like I am.

Hi there everyone! I'm new here and very interested in hearing from everyone on their experiences. I had the band put in back in 2007 and ended up having it removed in 2010 due to a slip. I then had it put back in 6 months later only to have major complications. In March of this year I ended up having to get an emergency gastrectomy (90% removal) due to stomach lacerations caused by ulcers. My weight loss was rapid for the first 4 months then it just stopped. I went from 206 to 156 and I have been pretty stagnent with my weight loss until recently. I just started to gain weight and I'm now up to 163.8 which is freaking me out. I'm only eating about 800 calories and I eat only fish and veggies and almonds. I recently began jogging so I'm not sure what's going on and I'm feeling like I'm failing! Any advice or words of encouragement?
