Thanks, I just don't get it. Here I take a risk and go through this huge life changing procedure and OF COURSE it's not working for me. I'm so totally annoyed. My surgery was 8/27 that was 2 months ago and inhave only lost 22 lbs. there are people on here who have lost triple that in the same amount of time. I just wish for once, just one time, SOMETHINH would be easy. Guess its just not going to be that way for me. I am getting in all of my Protein, plenty of Water and excersizing....enough already!!'

If it helps you at all I have done that a few times since surgery. I would go up and down the same 3 -5 pounds and then eventualy the scale started moving and I never saw those numbers again. Those stalls lasted anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks so don't get discouraged. I am not 5 1/2 out from surgery and down 86 pounds with only 30 more to go. It will happen for you too. Make sure you are eating enough calories of the right foods and enough Protein, getting enough sleep, Water and exercise and taking your Vitamins. As long as you are doing that there is no way you will not lose this weight. If you go back on the boards you will find my post where I call myself a failure and everyone yelled at me. But here I am and it is going well and hitting numbers I was afraid I would never see again. Have faith in yourself and the process, you will be fine. Remember we gained this weight over a long period of time and to expect us to lose it overnight is not possible (although desireable) but in 5 or 6 months you will also look back and see the amazing amount of weight you will have lost and will be offering support to another new person. You got this!! Smile and keep moving and you will be fine!

Are you still losing inches? I have found that even though my scale has not moved I have lost inches as clothes keep sliding off of me.

No, Music I'm still trying to fit into the same pair of jeans. At this point I'm not even going to attempt to get into them. I'm so frustrated.

I dunno Elle Grace its been 4 weeks and I'm in the same place. The worst thing is that I'm a Band/RNY conversion and I'm right now the exact weight I was before my lap band went so wrong. So basically I've only lost the weight I gained after my band was relieved if it's Fluid. Im Just so done with being in the 200's, 202, 206, 203, 207, 204, this has been my past 5 weeks. I'm going home to see family and friends who know what surgery I've had done (btw I have 3 sisters who are fit and marathon runners) and what am I to say? Oops, it's just not working for me? They are going to look at me like I'm some kind of pig! I seriously am so sorry at this point that I even had this stupid surgery. Sorry but that's how I feel. I'm a total failure at this too, and I'm so tired of being FAT!

Have you talked with your doctor yet?

I am so sorry you are going through this. It does seem terribly unfair. I would speak to your doctor, but I still think that you will still succeed. I was lucky not to be a revision but I had a month stall like this so understand a bit what you are going through, minus the family pressure. Just try try try to stay positive and keep staying the course. We will support you as much as possible but the strength comes from you and I believe you have this, otherwise you never could have undertaken another surgery to fix your health. You deserve to be healthy and I know it will work out. I wish I had the answers but since each of us is different and has different issues I would not even try, except for the general accepted guidelines, which I am sure still stand for you as a revision.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
