If pain is keeping you from eating you should check with your surgeon to make sure there isn't any problems.

    Ladies I'm getting so frustrated. I had my surgery on 2/19 and lose 9lbs when I went in surgery n weighed 271 now today 8/2 I'm still 212 and stuck! I have upped my protein' date=' water and exercise. This is the first time I have felt so down after this surgery. I really just need some encourage because now I'm feeling like a failure. How is everyone else losing weight. What are y'all eating. Give me some ideas I need help. I can't see my doc because I no longer have insurance[/quote']

    We all stall at different levels of weightloss. Try staying away from the scale for awhile. Some stalls last week's. .. look at me I'm into month 6 the month most surgeons say you should be at 75% of loss, I'm not! At the same time my md is pleased the 47 lbs that have come off. .... hang in there the scale will change numbers in a downward fashion, stressing doesn't help weight loss. ...

    I feel you pain... I didn't loose anything for a month and a half and just started loosing again. I stopped exercising for 2 weeks and started back up this week and started loosing... I think sometimes you totally need to change things. It's all trial and error. All different body types and age as well. Don't get discouraged. Look how far you've come. Your doing a great job and be proud of yourself! Have you measured yourself? The month and 1/2 I didn't loose weight I still lost inches... Give it a try!

    202.4, officially half way there! July was not a good weight loss month, however, prior to RNY I would have gained at least 5 pounds with all the stress and crap. Instead I lost 3. That still qualifies as success in my book!
