You need to change up to get your body losing again. My trainer helped me to understand this...you need more carbs while working out or else your body will think you are starving it. Chanel

I'm officially 4 mos today, and I have lost 10 lbs this month so far. In October, I hit a terrible stall for the entire month with no weight loss. I decided to work out which before I didn't and I upped my Water in take...and it knocked me out of my stall. chanel

I've taken Iron pills, and I noticed a big change. I'm not getting cold like before. Chanel

I am officially 4 mos today, and I can eat everything, and I'm full of energy. Honestly I think you will be ok, if it was a month or 2 after surgery, then I wouldn't suggest it. Go and have a ball, also stay in tune with your body.. if something changes ask your doctor. Have fun me lady. Chanel

My doctor gave me 1 month off, because of the little amount of food your energy level becomes zapped. I would take a month to be safe, especially if you have fmla. Chanel

You and I really do have the same BMI, I questioned my doctor. He said, because we began with a low bmi, we will lose first at a rapid pace in the beginning but once we lose a certain amount our bodies began to slow down in the weight loss. However he said this is normal, our bodies are adjusting to the dramatic change. I had reached his suggested 6 mos goal in 2 mos, so soon our bodies will readjust and lose again. Also I found out I'm gaining more muscle weight from exercising but I have lost 4 inches off my waist in 1 1/2 month without weight loss. Check your measurements.

Thanks you all...I went to the gym, and I have lost 3 lbs so I think ..I have activated my weight loss.

Just to clarify what I was saying if I added confusion..I do watch what I eat, and I use fitness pal to log in my daily food. I love that site!!! You can also download the app on your mobile phone which I use too. Now you are right about my Water intake...I hate water, and I drink about 42 to 56 ozs of water daily. I will take you advice in drinking more thanks. Chanel

I am 3 1/2 mos out and I always order a kids meal. Appetizers are still too much for me...and sometimes the kids meals too. However at least, I get a small entree with 2 tiny sides. I thought I would need my gastric surgery card to get a kids meal, but so far none was requested.

I'm 5'4 ...Thank you so much..I pray you are right.

I've been in a 2 month stall and I don't understand it. I am following by my doctors food regimen but no weight loss. My doctor told me to switch up on my lifestyle change, such as instead of no exercising begin to do so..and I did...!. Just to give you some history. Before surgery I weighed 227 lbs on July 12, 2011 and now today, I am 172 lbs....but I havent lost anymore weight in 2 mos. During all of my weight loss, I did no exercising at all, so my doctor suggested I try working out. For 1 month, I do 1 hr of cardio, such as elliptical, running, treadmill..and etc, and light weight training...still noooo weight loss. I have tried everything ..protein drinks, watching what I eat...can someone give me an explanation. I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR 55LBS OFF..But is this the end of my weight loss??? CHANEL
