I feel like I'm in a sequel of "Thinner".

My weight is constant too and it doesn't seem to matter what I do or eat. I'm wondering if it's absorption thing. But then, I really just don't eat much these days!

Ok update! I ate nothing but Cookies and edamame yesterday. It's ridiculous. I step on the scale and lost another pound. My feet and legs were cramping so I have been drinking a lot of Water today. I will see my surgeon Thursday. I going to have to confess up that I've been a horrible eater lately. I don't have an appetite for anything really except sugar! I could literally live on sugar cookies and coffee. It's the weirdest thing. I have a girlfriend that had GB and literally lived on Reece's. I rarely ever saw her with anything in her fridge but bags of them. She stays 130 lbs. It can't be healthy. I'm going to have them do a full set of labs and see if maybe I'm deficient in something. My blood sugars are fine. I check them for fun at work. I just don't have any desire to eat "real" food. No fast food, no home cooked food, nothing really. I have some steaks to make tonight. It doesn't sound good but I'm going to try. I think it's just a phase I'm going through. My husband had me all worked up this week so I think that stress got me off track too. I'm so telling my surgeon on him!!!

This was me after I got down to my ideal weight after my band. So sad it didn't last!!

[Elode 8,093]

So I got my palate expander today and I think I'm just going to starve death. It's literally impossible to eat with it. I tried soup....nope. I tried crab cake....nope. I've been working on a Protein Shake and it's taking forever! It's exhausting. I had a feeling this was going to happen.

[BestDayEver 418]

Oh how I remember when my highly anxious daughter got her palate expander! It was quite the struggle to eat at first and the food getting caught in it was kinda gross. Hang in there because it will all be worth it in the end. ????

[Elode 8,093]

@@BestDayEver It is gross! That's another reason why I don't want to eat. It's only been in my mouth for 8 hours so I'm probably just being a big baby but it stinks! I carry a tooth brush and toothpaste with me so I can brush my teeth while I'm out. I'm suppose to get braces on too in two months. They may as well just put a feeding tube in me now! I'm hoping somehow I will magically figure this thing out. I took some liquid Tylenol, most disgusting tasting junk in the world. I'd rather just hurt. I actually swallowed some pills so I won't be going through that hell again. I'm trying not to be a cranky but this contraption is for the birds!

[suitechicguy 105]

I have been noticing the same thing with me. It seems if I have something a little junkie I lose more consistantly and I keep going down. My surgeon did say if I keep losing I'll have to see the nutritionist but I have been getting everything that Im supposed to in. Im 6'2 172lbs now. I might have to try more weightlifting to compensate. Btw you look great! It feels so strange how it feels like forever to get to the end goal and then boom its there.

[VSGAnn2014 12,992]

I've lost a little more weight lately, too. Not a lot, but I'm about four pounds lighter now than I ever thought I'd be.

But on the other hand, we're about to go on a holiday cruise, and I plan to eat dessert twice a day. Of course, I also expect to walk a lot and work out every day.

It's a hard life.

I panicked a little a couple months ago when I had a large loss (for me) month. Although I was at goal, I was trying to deliberately lose like 5 more. I ended up losing 8. I was like "YIKES is this going to stop??"

Yeah, it stopped. Although I haven't been really doing anything differently, I have held steady by a pound or 2 the last 7 weeks. In other words, I'm in maintenence now, lol. I think my body just likes where I am now. I would have liked to have seen how much lower I could go to give me more of a cushion for that inevitable 10-15 pounds people seem to gain after a couple years, but meh. I'm thrilled with my results.

[conrad1 24]

Hi all, I've decided I can literally eat anything I want and the scale will either A): Not budge or B: Go down. It doesn't make any sense. I can eat super healthy and stay the same or eat chocolate cake and junk food all day and lose a pound. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. I don't particularly want to lose anymore right now. I'm pretty happy with where I'm at. Anyone else have this "problem". How do you STOP losing weight?

You may want to have your Thyroid checked. Sounds like you could be Hyperthyroid but I am not a doctor. I am hypothyroid which causes weight gain and hyper causes weight loss
