July friends I need help. Rny gastric bypass. Start wt 276. Surgery wt 246 today wt 187. Total loss 89 pounds. I had surgery july 23. I am really proud of myself but I'm stalled for a month now. I would love to drop at least 20 more pounds, if I don't it IS ok because my goal was 180 to 190( the dr set it) I know it's not even my 6 month mark yet . I know I have not done everything by the book.I feel hungry all the sudden. I'm not sure if this is in my head or if I'm hungry. If I have stretched my pouch or can you do that? I have read so many things. I'm thinking I should maybe go back to Protein Shakes once or twice A day to see if I can jump start a loss again. Also I have read where some people can't tolerate any sugar. Is it weird that I can. Not a lot but I can eat a little. I did over the holidays. I'm not going to beat myself up I'm going to get back on track and become the me that I love. I'm guessing I have the winter time blues and stress. This was my first Christmas without my dad. I lost him in August and he was a big cheerleader for me. Wow in all over the place here. I just need some ideas and thoughts. Help me get back on track !

Jeaniek, I'm exactly where you ate and I've followed the plan to a t. Started at 272, I'm at 178. So whatever you are doing you sound on track to me. Next, I messed with the same 2 lbs all of December! Lose 1 gain 1, down 2 up 2. I just think month#6 is a rough one! Last weekend, I decided to go back to basics and only eat Proteins and cut my carbs. It worked! It pushed me over the hump and got me down 3lbs. Proteins and Water. Cut carbs and watch those sneaky snacks!! You can definitely get that last 20 off. Don't give up and don't settle. You'd be doing yourself a disservice. Best of luck getting over this minor bump in the road.

I'm in the exact same boat! Surgery July 9, started at 231lbs, day of surgery was 225.2. I've been stuck between 161.8 and 163 for all of December I'd like to lose another 15lbs and think I'm going to really need to work at it. I agree, Protein and Water, protein and water. I really need some motivation to exercise, I know I need to, but I just can't make myself do it. It's funny, I can eat some sugar some times and other times it makes me sick. Keep us in the loop and let me know what works to jump start your loss!

I started at 264. Surgery on July 16 at 241. Today I am at 182.

I am ok with it all. (amount of weight loss) I have had 4 strictures and 4 endoscopy/dilations and working on my 5th. My diet is for the most part liquid to include things like chili. Most of the time yogurt.

In less than 6 months I have lost 58 pounds. I know some others have lost more in the same amount of time. Even in just 2 months! I have 6 more months to lose roughly 30 pounds which is totally doable. Also with my slower weight loss....less loose skin!

July 18th, was 230, 5'6", now 165. Was sick at 170 while working out for a month, stopped working out, lost 5 lbs over the holiday break, even after eating junk and drinking too many bourbon 7's. So I conclude I must keep eating junk and drinking bourbon 7's. Lol before you get you're panties in a wad, I'm jk with that conclusion!!! lol

I'm getting frustrated with comments spine people say to me. They never told me to stop gaining weight before surgery but now they feel they can tell me I shouldn't lose anymore weight or I'll look too skinny. I just tell them that clothes are deceiving and I want to lose another 15 to 20 lbs or wherever my body decides to level out. It will level out, right?? Or could it keep losing??

I had my RNY on July 14th. I have my 6 month check up on Thursday and I am very excited to weigh in. My surgery weight was 351. At last weigh in (around Dec 10) I was 248! I am hoping to have lost another 5 lbs. or so in December. Things are going really well - eating good and working out A LOT!

Here's to the next 6 months!
