I have been fooling around with the same weight up a few ounces, down those few ounces, and then maintaining for a couple weeks. I have read about stalls over sbf over again.. and knew it would happen.. but needed to vent!! Ugh!

I know I should be super excited about my 60 lb loss. But I still have a good amount to lose. I would rather lose a few ounces a week than see myself gain and lose and gain and lose.. that's crazy! Grrrr

Ok.. rant over. ;)

Hope everyone has a great new year!!

When I stalled on the scale I still lost inches. Keep up the good work!

I've had so many stalls and plateaus over the past 10 months... I have learned not to panic... You are losing inches. If you are hungry it's probably head hunger... Get out of the house and away from the food. Keep working the plan and the weight will start falling of again.

It seems like when I stall nothing will effect the weight loss...not Protein, not Water, not exercise...so, we just put on our big girl panties and keep doing what we know is right. Eventually...which can be weeks at this point...the body will respond. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be.

Thats good advice. We expect our bodies to do as we want all the time. Remember when we force fed our bodies ungodly amounts? It has a right to rebel now and again . It will start losing again once its adjusted.

We do expect the weight to "fall off" after surgery. Or at least I thought that. I tried to mentally prepare myself for a slow loss because my sister had went thru this and it took her awhile to hit her goal. I have only given it 11 weeks. So.. when I look at the whole picture I am thankful. Its when I look at the daily or weekly results and see that its slowed or stopped it gets me a little wound up.. until I remind myself again that this is not a miracle its our tool and will help us through this journey forever not just today!

Hello Everyone,

Reading this thread really helps. I had my surgery on 11/15/12 and I can't help but worry whether or not this will work. I've lost 26lbs but I'm stalling. I'm in the gym almost everyday. I feel like I'm 95% spot on with my diet. It just gets frustrating at times. Nice to know I'm not alone

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
