Hi All 1 Month Out

[tishizme 1]

Hello I had my surgery on March 26 so far I lost 23 lbs but I have not lost anything since week 3. I am eating stage 3 diet and filling up fast eating mostly Protein and staying hydrated but getting discouraged at not losing more.

Are you walking?

Are you walking?

Yes I have been walking and I am always on the go 3 kids. I could do more high impact cardio but I hope to start next week.

Maybe it's just taking some time for your body to catch up with your loss. I think you'll do o.k.. you may be losing inches. I'm still on the pre-op Liquid Protein which sucks by the way, but I have discovered that the scale is not my friend! Stay off the scale for a day or two and check your measurements. Hope that helps.

I go through plateaus every 3 weeks!

Are you eating at regular intervals? I was told today that it's really important to spread it out and get in all the Protein and 64 oz of Fluid each day. Are you meeting the eating requirements provided by your nutritionist?

Sometimes are bodies rebel for a while but, stick with the plan and the scale will start moving again.

I feel ya. I am 3 weeks post and have only lost 1 pound this week. I knew the weightloss would slow down down, but geez! I get my Protein in and my Water and I walk 1 to 1 1/2 miles 5 days a week. It's frustrating, but I am still working at it. :-)

I'm going through the same thing...and I exercise and follow all of the guide lines. I'm praying the weight loss picks up a gain soon. I did lose 3 lbs this week after 2 weeks of nothing. I am 5 weeks out. It is sooooo very important to me that I not fail at this. Everyone keeps saying hang in there so that's what I'm doing. I have zumba on Xbox connect so I'll start that more frequently this week. It seems to be more intense than the walking. I'm at about 2 1/2 miles...at a nice brisk pace. Stationary bike when its too cold or rainy outside plus resistance training with these thera-bands. "Lord bless all of us on plateaus and slow weight loss with patience and perseverance! Amen!"
