Kerrie-Ann 34 Posted November 13, 2012 I know what you mean... been the same with me! I've tried everything....guess I'll have to try being patient....not too good at that!Best of luck to you!! 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!!'

Ellie_Grace 271 Posted November 13, 2012 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! 1 Vicki Loichinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
music1618 879 Posted November 13, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerrie-Ann 34 Posted November 13, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ellie_Grace 271 Posted November 13, 2012 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.
