I just can't seem to break out of the 260s. My last weighing was 262.2, down from 276.4. At least it's something!:)

My weight loss is not just slow ITs stopped. I'm trying not to complain and push through, but I'm getting so depressed. I don't want to fall back to crazy diet schemes but my mind it telling me to do or try some drastic. I'm coming up on 1 ur anniversary and I'm failing to reach my goal.

Awww I'm sorry to here that did yu see your surgeon

I have not lost a lot of weight lately! But I can now wear a size 10/12..... Sw 210 now185 dos 1/1413.... I can still eat way too much!..... I do not have the will power I need at times' date=' and I can still binge, not good!, but I feel better, no reflux like with the band! And I feel too normal now![/quote']

I know exactly what yu mean and thats good tho size 10

Well apparently I wasn't eating enough. At 8 weeks post op I was still only eating 1oz of food per meal! My nut told me I was eating too little and that can stall my weightloss. So she told me to up my protein to 2oz per meal and try to eat at least 1 Tbsp. veggies... I think I was just scared to up my food intake because I didn't want to hurt or stretch my pouch!! Hope this helps break my plataue! She said with only eating that small amount 3xday then burning over 200 calories a day, plus strength training every other day my body wasn't getting enough fuel and I was putting myself into starvation mode. I wander if that's also why I have been feeling dizzy ??

I've been slowing Dow as well at 10 weeks now. Eating between 500-700 calories 60 protein. I would get dizzy as well. My doc upped me to 1000 calories today so I hope that helps... Good luck to you!

Thanks and good luck to you too !!

Hi been reading everyone's threads, I to am unhappy with my weight loss this is week 6 for me if I count the pre op diet and have only lost 21 pounds. I don't know if I'm eating to little or to much or is it because I don't need to lose a great deal overal? My fluid intake is quite poor also. Please can any one help???

Annette, fluid and protein are a must when it comes to loosing the weight! Try try try to get in at least 64oz of liquids a day( can include jello, pudding, soup etc.) and make sure you are getting at least 80g protein. If you are not exercising you need to start walking at a brisk pace to get your heart rate up 30 minutes daily! If you are exercising try to increase your minutes and speed... I also strength train every other day and we al know muscle weighs more than fat so it may look like your not loosing when indeed you are trading fat for muscle. If you had less to loose like under 100lbs. It WILL take you longer to loose than someone who has like 150 or more to loose. Just don't get discouraged and keep doing what the dr tells you to do! It WILL come off!!!

Hi thx for replying, today I'm going to order some protein drinks I don't like them very much but don't know how to get the amount in in one day without them, I used to love egg but now just doesn't taste right. As for fluid that's a lot to consume but I'm going to try my best and get off my bum and do some exercise. I only want to lose between 70 and 84 lb at the most so maybe why it's slower as you said. Thanks for your help xxx

I to am very sad I qas loseing 2lbs a day wen I left hospital on 11/21/13 for 2weeks now this last week I haven't lost anything I've been on mushie for a week I don't know what to do very upsetting I'm eating fish tofu an trying to drink my protien an fluids do pretty good frustrated:(

The best thing I've learned...our journey is our own. Don't be so hard on yourself cause you are doing great!! I do see where some people post about certain surgeons having expectations. Thankfully I've never been pressured with that. My facility told me they don't become concerned until 6 months post as people lose differently. We all lose and respond differently. I gained coming home from the hospital and my 1st month loss was prob 20lbs. I noticed there were a lot of slow weeks and months but it does add up. Pictures are a great way of reminding yourself of progress. Often I had to look back on my progress pics to show myself I had moved forward. I think you are doing great. Follow the program and it will work. We are here for u anytime u get discouraged.
