weightyissue

I really don't know what I'm doing, have never blogged before , so not sure how to go about this. My username is 'weightyissue', and i njust wanted to let you know your story sounds exactly like mine...no loss for over 2 weeks after an initial loss of 10 lbs week 1 and 4 pounds week 2....then nothing....I am into my 5th week now and dropped 3 more pounds recentlky but notice they go up and down every coupole of days. I am struggling with theeating as I can't tell what ;full feels like' and have not felt over full although I am sure i should have by now. I think I am eating too much but still feel hungry enough to do that.I must say I am surprised at how many grams of protein you are having(70-120) my surgeon told me 60 grams a day based on my height, (5'5")..Don't give up...I know I have come close to rationalizing in my head why this won't work for me. I hate thosenegative thoughts that I resort to.

Hi Ladies....i'm so glad I found y'all.....I'm Sharon and had my surgery Aug 2. I am so frustrated and discouraged and figured the first month would at least be a boost. I lost 12 pounds in the first 2 weeks and absolutely nothing for the last 9 days. I am having 60 g protein and averaging 5-600 calories, low fat and practically no sugar. I haven't begun to exercise yet, so I imagine that's to blame...still on full liquids to puree and am wondering what does it tale for my body to drop some of this.....started at 275 and now 263....any suggestions would be helpful....thanks....

I am just finishing my 3rd week ost surgery and tiday had an ovw=erwheling urge to eat potato chips....chewing them till they were mush.....i feel so ashamed tonight and discouraged and this was a response to being told by my Nutritionust that i was eating too many ounces for my meal. She wants me to go back to 2 ounces not 4-6....says it ways too early. i feel your pain here and i think it is what we call head huinger, noit actuqal hunger.....i just couldn't sstop myself today and i'm lucky i didn't do real damage to my sleeve. lets both start oiver tomorrow...fresh start and out this behind us today.

I have had the same stall only very early in the game, and to make matters worse, even though i am staying at 500-600 cal, it it the end of week 3 and i have actually gained 3 pounds. I am just about beside myself and cannot figure out what is going on. I am managing almost all my fluids and not exercising much at this point. I am very discouraged. Had my surgery Aug 2 and was down from 275 to 261 at some point but then back up to 263...definitely going in the wrong direction . I sure didn't expect this so early in the process. any comments would be helpful
