Hi guys, checking in. I have been at a standstill for the last 2 weeks and it is getting frustrating. I hit onderland and boom it stopped. I have been 198-199 for two weeks. I have been working out a lot and trying to get all of my fluids and Protein in. I get between 700-100 cal a day depending on the day and 90-110 g protein. Sometimes my Water intake is not as much as it could be but, I am trying. I am really hoping to start losing again. I have a long way to go!

I know what you mean! I've been stuck between 170 and 171 for a couple of weeks. It's annoying. We got used to the quick weight loss and we have to let our bodies catch up. I weigh myself every day which I know I shouldn't do, but I can't stop myself. You are doing so great! Hang in there.

Three months today, down 59 pounds!! Yay! Eating remains challenging as I still have trouble with solids, but I'm sure it will get better. Weight loss is only about 2-3 pounds a week-slow & steady wins the race. I'm up to 40 minutes on the recumbent bike. It's at a slowish pace but still such an improvement. I have MS so fatigue, leg weakness (I walk w/ a walker) & balance will always be challenges. BUT 40 minutes on an exercise bike is so huge for me. Congrats to fellow losers!! Lets continue kicking a__!!

Hello everyone I have been in the hospital since last night. I had severe abdominal pain and vomiting whenever I tried to eat or drink. I had a scope done today. They were thinking it was a stricture but it was not. They found a very large marginal ulcer. Does anyone else have any experience with this? I was so scared. I am on iv Fluid although still not peering much. They also said I would probably be here for a couple days.
