Cant seem to get under 180

[1972 17]

I have my surgery on October 19th 2012

Went in at 227. I weighed in this morning before I ate anything and I was 183. I tinker back n forth between 185 and one 182. Is this normal. Or am I done losing.

No you are not done!! I had surgery 10/29/12 and I started out 287. 276 at surgery and now 207-209. Its been fluctuating back and forth last month was 214-212 then finally started losing again

I thought I would never get under 200 lbs... And when I get weighed at the dr the scale is 5 lbs more than the one at home. This is very hard. I'm so tired.

I just had my surgery Feb 18, the first 2 weeks I lost 30 lbs and now for 2 weeks straight I haven't lost anything. I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

When I was post op where you are I stalled for about a month

Stalls are normal but so freaking frustrating. To jump start your weight loss, try going back to liquids, or adding more Protein. I took away cheese and dairy and they helped for a while.

Also try varying your workout. Walk longer or shorter. Do different exercises. Confuse your body. Also works to have a high(er) calorie day every now and then. Consistent low calorie days cause your body to stay in starvation mode and hang on to each calorie seeking homeostasis.

I'm glad you posted this... I just got approved and my surgery is next week. I started at 259 and dropped down to 216 while completing my 7 months of requirements. Now that I'm 216 I've been nervous with having the surgery. I'm scared I'm going to lose too much weight. Now that I've read your story it makes me feel better. I just visioned me dropping 100 lbs and being at 116 lbs and looking sucked up and unhealthy. Feeling better now.. thanks
