Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I am 8 months post op and have been stuck for over a month now. I have lost 98 pounds. I went to the Fitness USA today and they measured me and I have lost a total of 57 1/4 inches. SO I feel so much better. YOu will lose again. I am close to my goal so I figured I would slow way down.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 HEY GUYS! I AM STUCK ON A PLATEAU 1ST ONE AND I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!!! Ok. I am 6 months postop and I have been doing all of the right things (eating & exercising) however I am stuck on my 1st plateau. Is there anything that I can do to move this along????? I had surgery 12/26/03 and have lost down from 282 to 177 in 6 months time.(total loss is 105 pounds) I know that is a lot of weight in 6 months, but I am just afraid that it will not start back up again. I am really tempted to go back on liquids only for a while to see if that will get it moving again?!?!? I have not go really any saggy skin because I have been exercising like crazy. I know this is stupid, but even though I am not losing pounds I am still losing inches. I weigh everyday and I measure myself once a week. Any advice is appreciated! ((hugs)) Tre 282/177/145ish RNY 12/26/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Consider yourself lucky that this is your first plateau! If you are losing inches still I am not sure why you are freakin' out girl. Your weight loss may begin to slow a little now that you are 6 months post op. It was bound to happen. Your body needs to adjust itself every once in awhile and if you start to starve it it may just hold onto the weight even longer because that is what sometimes happens when your body feels it is in starvation mode. Just wait it out and keep doing what you are doing...eating right and exercising. You may want to try upping your protein even by drinking more protein drinks. It will jumpstart itself again soon. I started out by losing steadily my first 6 months and having one plateau just at the beginning (at 5 weeks) like many people do. Now that I am 8 months post op I find that my body constantly stalls out then starts up again. It is just the way it works for me now I guess. I would also like to suggest that you put the scale away for a week or two and concentrate on doing healthy things for yourself and then when you take the scale back out you will probably be pleasantly surprised.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 It does Tre. In the meantime pat yourself on the back and tell yourself how great it is that you have lost that 105 LBS because in my book that is so awesome and I think you are doing just great!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Gotta second what Colleen said (and congrats Colleen on the shopping experience ). You're doing great Tre, just give your body time to catch up and keep doing what you're doing! Lap RNY April 9, 2004 348/286/140 (begin/current/goal) www.carrieburns.net > It does Tre.
