Hi Lee,

It sounds like you are at a plateau and that is normal for anyone that has

lost weight before. Jut keep with your diet and hang in there and it will

start to come off again.

2and a half months post op

Hi everyone

I am sending this post because I need a little encouragement. I had

my surgery on August 28 and since my surgery I have gone from 339 to

306 but I have stayed at 306 for about two weeks now. Is it normal

for your weight loss to stop and then start up again at a later time.

I am getting very frustrated since I had hoped to lose so much more

weight.

I am trying to go for a daily walk of about 2 miles but I am so

frustrated. I am afraid that I am never going to lose anymore

weight. Please any suggestions I would love.

Hi Lea my name is I had my surgery on Aug. 21. I am also at a stand still

on loosing weight. It has been about three weeks than this morning I lost

another 3 lbs. From what I understand this is normal. I lost 35 lbs. before the

surgery also. After so much weight loss there are plateaos than it will start

back up again.I started at 390 and now at 316. Don't be discuraged.

I'm right with ya. I had my surgery August 1st. In the first month, I lost

40 pounds. In the second month, I lost 20. My 3rd month started October

1st, and since then, I've only lost 2.5 pounds.

Keep trying to get all your water and protein in. I know I fail on some

days, but I sure am trying!

That's normal. Your body is adjusting to the trauma of surgery & the

weight loss. Give it time & stick to your surgeon's plan. You'll see

the #s dropping soon!

Wow 33lbs in less than 60days? That's great! Good job!

Two weeks at the same weight is no big deal. I've stayed at the same

weight for a month. I had my surgery Jan 20, 2006.

It is very normal for your weight loss to stop and then start again

at a later time.

My advice would be for you to understand, too, that by exercising

you're increasing muscle mass and, since muscle weighs more than fat,

probably actually INCREASING your weight. GASP!!

Stop focusing on your weight (as a number) and focus instead on your

health. Keep up the daily, regular exercise. Progress your eating as

your doctor instructs and enjoy the 33lbs you've already lost.

I weigh myself maybe once a week when I'm over at my parents (they

have a scale that can handle my weight) and I'm actually over at

their house more often than once a week. Damn, come to think of it,

I'm nearly below 300lbs now so I suppose I could buy my own scale and

weigh myself now couldn't I? Getting a scale and weighing myself at

my home sounds like a waste of time and money to me.

Your doctor's office should have some information on speed and

plateus of weight loss, check with them.

Have a great weekend too!
