Talk to your NP. Make sure you are logging your food counts accurately by using an online tool like FitDay or MyFitnessPal and that you include everything--even your coffee/tea and "no cal" sweetener and that 1/4 oz. of cheddar you had the other day. (Wait. That was me.) I miscalculated twice last week and went over my counts even though I was carefully measuring and planning. It happens.
Stalls also happen. They can be maddening. Have you taken measurements of yourself or written down things that have changed physically for you (crossing legs, not breathing so hard, feeling like you fit into that movie theater seat more easily, stuff like that). It's really tough to get through those periods. Can your surgeon point you to a support group you could attend? It always helps me to realize I'm not alone even if no one there actually knows how to fix it.
I would make absolutely certain I was eating correctly 100% for quite some time and still experiencing weight gain before I even thought of putting myself through the expense and health ramifications of another surgery.
You know what? You can do this. You went through I don't know how many months' weight loss before your pre-op diet, a week or two or even a month of pre-op, plus all the post-op relearning. You've lost forty-eight pounds. That is freaking amazing. You should be damned proud of yourself. Your hard work will pay off. Sometimes it takes our bodies a little extra time to catch up.

Congratulations

Just weighed and scale finally moved! Down 5 more lbs!! Though I have not eaten in 2 days cause I have been sick..

I just realized that for the first time in years, I'm no longer 200 pounds overweight. whoa... mindblowing.

I'm gonna bush hog the fields Friday then Saturday canoeing the Duck River for 9 hrs with family& friends & Sunday on the pontoon boat.

I hit 126 this morning! While not my goal of 125 it sure is close! I was popping between 129 and 130 for 2.5 weeks now. I just kept following my plan and this morning it dropped. Yay!
I know I may go back up but my range I set for myself is this and I feel like I can maintain. Plus with the lower body lift in November I may drop lower so I need to focus on maintenance and continuing to build muscle.

We've got to challenge ourselves. I'm going back to cardio Bootcamp in a week. I had to remind myself If I was pushing through the pain 50+ lbs ago, imagine what I'm capable of now.

Im not a city person anymore although I have to work in the city, I don't like nor being close to ppk & hearing their conversation from my deck. I love sitting outside listening to coyotes howl & deer& turkey in the field.

I think thats what I need...again, I did a liquid pre-op diet at the beginning of the year and started to get back on track, then I had knee surgery then everything went down hill again. It is exhausting! But I won't give up or quit.

Today is my 1 yr sur givers are , I'm feeling like a million bucks! ! I'm down 100 lbs &plan to lose maybe another 20 lbs & do plastic surgery next summer to hit my plateau..

I got approved last wk they called me.

They got mine approved w/inscription Co along w/bars. Urban Dr has to approve & sign a paper they fax them.

I got approved last wk they called me.

My dr gave Dorgan for nausea when I left hospital,while there it was in an iv

For now just walk that's it as many times a day you can. It will help release gas and help you eliminate fluids built up from the IV.
Drinking your Water and clear fluids will help with eliminating those excess fluids too.
Don't start any working out until your surgeon gives you the okay. Your body needs time to heal and for you to get your strength back.
Feel good and remember to take it slowly.

Congratulations, well done hard work pays off..

My one year appointments went great!! My doctor and my NUT were so proud of me and said not many people get to a normal bmi in one year, especially with a metabolism like mine. I weighed in at 132 at their office. I wish I had gotten to the 120s but am proud regardless. My surgeon doesn't think I have anymore to lose. I asked the a consult with plastic surgery and hr said he thinks the panni / Tummy Tuck will get me easily 5-10 lb loss. I have already had him start documenting my lower back pain and rashes so I can work the insurance route. I have decided if insurance won't pay I'll do self pay. I'm worth it! I haven't purchased a new car in almost 20 years so I'll say it's my new ride. Lol.
I am busting with pride of a job well done. I wish my mom was still alive for me to share...

TODAY IS MY SURGERVERSARY!! I am down 199.2 pounds. Just couldn't quite make 200, but its hard to be upset because I am so damn proud of all I have accomplished this year. I have never posted pictures before, I am posting them today. So watch for them. What a difference a year makes! WE ROCK!! THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING WITH ME DURING THIS JOURNEY. I WOULD NOT BE HERE WITHOUT EACH ONE OF YOU!

My gallbladder went out shortly after surgery 6 months to the day it was removed recovery was 2wks

Do the surgery don't delay any longer, my husband had 3 heart attacks on July 3,4&5 my surgery was on July22,2013 I thought about cancelling but husband said no do the surgery & I don't regret it because stress from any situation can cause more weight gain. It's your health on the line...

Diana I'm 10 months post op & 1lb from Dr goal, just remember fluids 64oz per day & 60-80grams of Protein per day for life easily done after healed up in many different ways. Fluid intake counts w/protein shakes as fluid& protein together , keep as log/journal of daily fluid & food intake,even now I still get off track a bit but return to fluids for a few days & continue onward.

Congratulations everything will work out
