After 9 Months-3 Month Plateua!!!!



Recommended Posts

I had my last fill in January and a slight unfill in february I lost 10 pounds between my fill and unfill and I've been the same weight since then...188-187 I can not make the scale budge unless I barely eat anything all day it will go down to 184ish but soon as I eat again I go back up to 187 I don't know what to do maybe I need a little bitty fill because I cant eat breads or anything but when I do eat I could eat the whole plate even though I don't let myself but I just can't understand how in the world in 3 months my weight has stayed the same!!!! It's so discouraging! Anyone else like this? I had my surgery July 20, 2011 so my year is coming up and I've only lost 43 pounds I wish I could lose this last 30 before my year mark so I can feel like I didn't let myself down!!! Any help would be appreciated!

I'm no expert but do you know how many calories you injest per day and do you work out? I've seen a few posts on here that ppl will increase their calories to up to 1300 per day and the weight will magically fall off. So ironically ppl will eat more to lose weight.

I lost very well the first 6 months, and then I stalled at about 190 and then I stalled again at around 180ish. I am now kinda stalling around 170ish. I can get down to about 168 and then I wi fluctuate a couple if pounds.

It seems that my body needs to get used to a certain weight and then it will start over again. Try switching things up on your diet and exercise. It may help. I just try different things and wait for it to happen. As long as your not going up to much, just keep at it.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
