i started to drink a Protein shake again hoping it would kick my stall. get on the scale and i gained 2lbs!!!! what??? i keep my carbs under 30 and with a Protein Shake my protein is about 70, i work out on my eliptica 4x a week. starting to think my body just wants to be this heavy.

i havent been on here much latly but im just a little over 5 month post op and im down 53 lbs.. from my heavest im down 100 lbs. Feels great to get all this extra weight off!!! Im fitting into a size 16 which i havent worn since before i had my kids. for the last month i have been stalled out stuck at 187, im starting to get discouraged that im not going to lose any more weight. i know that im lower in weight and it will be slower to come off but 4 weeks of nothing! UGH!!! When i think about what i eat and how much, i cant understand why the weights not coming off. Any one have any ideas on how to jump start the weightloss agian? or how long your longest stall was?

3 month post op today and im down -40 lbs. My goal was to be at 200 by today and i made it!!! WooHoo!!! im a slow loser any time i dieted so i figured i wouldnt lose as fast as some on here but im happy with where i am. Next goal is to get to 187lbs that makes me 100 lbs down from my heaviest.

im 3 months today and down -40 LBS. Im a slower loser than some on here but anytime ive dieted it came off slow so im happy.

your looking good!!! ive lost 33.8 lbs since we had surgery on the Oct 11th. Im at 206 Woohoo! 6lbs and im out of the 200s.

i know how you feel, i lost weight my first 2 weeks post-op and than nothing for 3weeks. Than i lost some last week and this week nothing. im trying to stay positive too. i know how hard it is, to see people losing alot while we fight for every pound we lose. Your not alone we can do this together:rolleyes:

i did it! I lost 5lbs this week!!! WooHoo! i guess the extra protein shake worked

i take 2 scoops of chocolate protein and a packet of sugerfree hot cocoa and mix it together with warm water. to me its way better and not as sweet i can get it in without gaging.

Ive only lost 1lb in the past 3.5 weeks so I doubled up my protein shake starting yesterday to see if that will help me. Also I found away i can get the protein shakes in better, instead of 1 scoop of protein and 8oz milk Im doing 2 scoops of protein, a package of suger free hot cocoa and 16oz of water. To me its not as sweet or thick and i can handle it alot better. Thanks for all the encouragment I really needed it!!! I'll let you know on Monday when i weigh in if I was able to break the stall.

lilmissdiva-im trying to get the water in, i feel like im drinking all day long. i used to be a big water drinker and a gulper now to only take small sips all day drivers me crazy. im going to try to drink a extra protein shake for the next week to see if that will help me. I dont eat canned soup I made the soup and the pickel was the size of my little pinkey. today ive gotten in 16oz of water so far and going to go make a 16oz protein shake which will take a few hours to drink.(there gross)

OMG! im going to cry! i decided to only weigh myself 2xs a week so i get on the scale and it said i gained 2.5 lbs. I DONT GET THIS!!!! What Im i doing wrong??? Im eatting about 60gs of Protein, under 30g of carbs, and getting in about 40-45oz of Water a day. Here are the types of foods Im eatting: cheese, yogert, chicken, ham, Soup, cottage cheese, refried Beans. Yesterday i had 1/4 cup refired beans with cheese 3x during the day i had a peice of ham with chedder cheese rolled up. a small tiny pickel chicken soup with fresh grilled chicken breast and avacoto Protein shake

are you feeling like why did i do this? trying to look at the long term results, but i feel like maybe this is it.

Thanks everyone!!! I normally get in about 40-45oz of water. Im trying to get in more i just feel like im going to explode. LOL! I drink 1 protein shake a day trying to help get in protein and calories. My big issuse is getting in enough to eat, Im lucky to get 2-3 bits of food in and then Im over full and get a pain in my belly. How can i get more calories and protein in if i cant eat much? (I hate protein shakes there to sweet) I have been doing supositories and most of the time i just pooh back out the liquidfied supository. i just bought some probiotics yesterday lets see if that help any.

im 5 weeks post-op today and have only lost 17lbs. I was down 15 lbs at 2 weeks post-op, at 2.5 weeks i had to get IV fluids which made me gain 5 lbs. i keep looking at everyones weightloss that had surgery after me and most have lost way more than me. Im tracking my protein, carbs and calories trying to keep it around 500-600 cals, 60 protein and under 30 carbs. i know I'm a slow loser but to see my scale only move .4 in a week and I hardly eat anything just makes me want to cry. Im having problems when i first get to work, the past 3 days i damn near past out while dealing cards and have to go sit down for a 10 mins and then im fine. not sure whats causing this my mom thinks low blood suger. TMI- Im also having problems with BMs Im lucky to go once a week and then its not much that comes out. Ive tryed maralax doesnt help, 4 days of exlax in a row never went.

I know how you feel, at 2 weeks out i lost 15lbs and now at 4 weeks im 16lbs down. i set a goal of 15lbs a month for the 1st 2 months so i hope i start losing again.

i have only gone poop 1x since i had surgery 4 weeks ago. Ive tryed ex-lax, supositories nothing works for me.

I had surgery on the 11th and have only lost 16lbs since surgery. I got dehydrated at 2.5 weeks out and had to get 2 bags of IV fluids which made me gain 6lbs. my goal was to lose 15lbs the 1st month and ive made it. Im not a fast loser and i know that from dieting before im happy with my results so far.

Im just 2 weeks out and Im not only itch on my wounds but my whole body has been itching like crazy for the last few days. Im going to go to the Drs tomorrow I cant stand it anymore.

Im now to weeks post-op, feeling good other than im really weak. I tryed going back to work yesterday, I made it a whole two hours before i thought i was going to pass out. I dont think im getting enough fluids in, so im really going to work on it so i can go back to work on Friday. OK heres my TMI- i havent gone poo since i had to do my clean out before surgery, i tryed suppositories and i just poo out the suppositore. Any one else haveing this issue? My total weight lose for the week was 7.6lbs bringing me to a total weight lose of 14lbs. im happy with it! my goal was 15lbs for the 1st 2 months.

thats about all i can eat too. i was reading on another site and a girl who had surgery the same day as me was already eatting 1/2 cup. most foods dont sound good to me yet, they smell good but the thought of eatting it doesnt seattle with me. OMG! trying to get Protein shakes in is the worse, they are to sweet and make me want to gag.

how are all the October babies doing? im feeling great, but im not getting in enough calories or protein in. Im suppost to start work tonight but i think im going to take another week off. If i didnt have a job that i had to stand the whole time id be Ok but i dont think id make it with out passing out.

WOW!!! Your looking so great!!! Keep it up i know you can make your goal by next month.
