weightloss journey

5 month stall.............
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.

5 month stall.............
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
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.

trying to break my stall 5.5 weeks post-op
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)

trying not to get discouraged 5 weeks out
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.
