Hi all! I'm in DESPERATE need of help! I had surgery on Feb 22,2012. I've lost 96 pounds but have not lost any more weight in 4 weeks!!! I workout everyday 2-4 miles a day. I watch EVERYTHING I eat! Idk what I'm doing wrong! My doctor is upset and saying it cheating and not working out when I really do! I have my next apt with the surgeon on the 27th of this much and he is wanting me to lose 6 pounds BUT, I haven't lost not one single pound!! I've cried because I'm soo frustrated! Can anyone provide me with some help PLEASE?!?!

Thanks,

Well....to me why would your doctor be upset...you've lost 96 pounds so far that's great no matter what size you are.

Are you drinking all your Water?

Are you logging all of your foods?

Are you taking in too many carbs?

You're exercising but, do you change up your routine?

He says it's not enough and I'm not sure why. But, I know he's not happy. I only lost 14 pounds from my 3 month appt to my 6 month appt and I'm guess that is why.

I get in OVER 64 oz a day of Water. I do not eat carbs at all they make me sick. I do not eat much and I thought it was that reason but the doctor says no. I walk/jog and run 2-3 miles a day.

My doctor says its because I'm eating to much and not working out but that's not the case I am REALLY trying!

Not sure what to do :/!!!

If you're not eating enough you will stall as well.

Are you logging your food? If not start doing that. Also.....have you seen your nutritionist? They can give lots of tips of what you can do and can help figure out if you're eating enough or too much.

Yes, I use my fitness pal app to log my food. Yes, I've called and they said I am eating enough. Not sure how. But, they just keep blamming me and saying I'm not eating right or working out when I am!

Just wicked frustrated!!... I cry all the time because of it!! :/!!!! Not sure what else to do!...

When you see your doctor ask him what you should do. He should be able to answer that question. May be a nutritionist can help.

Congrats on the 96 lbs way to go don't give up.

You might be building mussel, which weighs more than fat. Are the clothing sizes getting smaller?

I thought it was muscle as well but the doc keeps telling me no, it's not muscle. I have gone to the nutritionist and she says I'm doing all the right things but, the doc isn't agreeing with her. Idk what to do. I am so frustrated! Yes I went from a size 26 to a size 16 BUT, I have lost any inches or weight for 4 weeks! Can someone tell me what they are doing or eating that has helped?

From what I read everybody goes through stalls. How much protein are you taking in? I'm only 3 weeks post op so I'm not very credible yet, but there's lots of posts on here about stalls and you just have to keep pushing forward. Your surgeon should know about stalls and should be guiding you how to break it instead of blaming you.

My surgeon told me yesterday you could always start stalling due to hidden sugars ESP if your eating alot of fruit. Also our body might stall if it feels like its going through starvation which will happen at times thought out our process!

Don't give up! I think I read somewhere where a person can have a plateu for 4 weeks and then it starts coming off again.
