Thanks and good luck to you too !!

Thanks !!!

Well apparently I wasn't eating enough. At 8 weeks post op I was still only eating 1oz of food per meal! My nut told me I was eating too little and that can stall my weightloss. So she told me to up my protein to 2oz per meal and try to eat at least 1 Tbsp. veggies... I think I was just scared to up my food intake because I didn't want to hurt or stretch my pouch!! Hope this helps break my plataue! She said with only eating that small amount 3xday then burning over 200 calories a day, plus strength training every other day my body wasn't getting enough fuel and I was putting myself into starvation mode. I wander if that's also why I have been feeling dizzy ??

8 weeks post op and been getting dizzy a lot since a few weeks post op. it's mostly when I stand up. Idk what it's from but I have a dr. Appt. on Mon.

I am in the same boat!! Only 31 lbs in 8 weeks! It's like I loose a pound then nothing for over a week.... I just want to take a knife and cut the fat off since its obviously not going anywhere!!!' Urggg!!!!

So sick of waking up everyday and seeing the same dang weight over and over and over and over....... I need the weightloss gods to hear my woes !!!!!!!

Wow!!! I thought it was just me!!! My hubby is in paradise right now! He doesn't know what came over me but he is not complaining!!!

I won't be able to make it to the meeting tonight ..no babysitter!! I hope to be at next months meeting. Are they mandatory ???

I have a 15 year old and 12 year old. both boys !!! You would think they should be able to be left alone... But they act like 6 year olds when left together plus living almost an hr. away who knows what they would do!! If I took them and left them in the lobby they would just fight and run around the place acting stupid... My hubby doesn't get off till 6:30 which would put me there way past when the meeting is over.

Man oh man... My eyes are still bigger than my stomach! So I boiled some shrimp and sautéed some mushrooms and steamed broccoli and all I could eat was one shrimp and two bites of the broccoli and mushrooms and I was done !!! You'd think as little as I can eat and working out like crazy I would be loosing more!!!

As long as I can find a babysitter I will be there!

I feel ya! I had a stall for two weeks... Finally down to 180 !!! Can't wait to hit 160 !

Yeah. I think everyone that goes there sees Alex

Cali.,, I'm with you on the sushi and margaritas!!!! I also miss fresh French bread and biscuits and gravy!!! I just smell everything I can't eat!!

Steamed shrimp with old bay and steamed broccoli. Hubby is also having new potatoes with herbs and butter (wish I could )

Yeah i kow the feeling... i will be 8 weeks post op on Wed and have only lost 31 lbs. My nut keeps reassuring me that im doing great, but when you see others who loose that much each month it gets discouraging regardless of how people say your doing or if they say because you have less than 100 lbs. to loose expect to loose slower.. I just don't want to hear it sometimes i just want my body to cooperate!!!!

That's sad cause I had a great experience with the staff... But I hope all goes well with u at Chesapeake. Thanks for asking how I'm doing.. I have lost 31lbs. so far... Wed. will be 8 weeks post op and I keep feeling like I should have lost more by now but they keep telling me I'm doing great and everyone loosing differently, blah blah blah!!! I do go to the support groups, every 1st Tuesday of the month, so this Tuesday I will be there!

My heart hurts for you : ( I'm soo sorry they keep denying you.. I had that happen about 9 years ago and now I finally got it, so don't give up hope for what you want!! Take care !

Yeah I hope so! He is such a big support for me and has even tried my protein shakes and yucky vitamins!!! I was just soo worried about strength training because of course I don't want to gain more weight !!!

Thanks BB... I started out at 211 post op and am now down to 181, my Dr. said 120-130 is my goal weight so I only have 80-90lbs. to loose... I will never be able to afford plastic surgery so I was trying to do all I can to get some snap back... Just hope hubby doesn't kill me in the gym I'm the mean time ( I'm soo sore) !!! I am 33 btw!!!

So I am 7 weeks post op and about 5 days ago I finally started loosing weight again. I think I'm a slow looser to begin with because I have only lost about 30lbs. Since surgery... With that said I have notices some loose skin in my arms, waist and thighs!!! So my wonderful husband said I need to weight train to build the muscle and tighten up... I have been working out for the past few days and low and behold I'm back to a stall after only loosing 4lb...... Is it from weight training??? I'm not getting all my water in at times but I usually get around 50 oz. a day and all my protein.

I don't know what hctz is but I am 7 weeks post op today and I still have to take diuretics. I take diamox 500mg and 20mg of lasix. It has not affected me after surgery in any way.

I can't have fruit until 12 months after surgery

A friend of mine who also had RNY felt starved the first week and a half then she said it went away... Try to wait it out and see if it goes away. Good luck!

Hey babygirl, I am drinking between 50-60 oz a day but I believe it's my Bariatric advantage multi vitamins... When I don't take them I'm fine but when I do I feel sick for hours... Then it's time to take them again and sick for hours!!! I am taking flinstones complete for now. The only thing about those is they don't have selenium which I was supposed to have in my multi., so until I can get in touch with the nut I'm going to take them anyway!
