6 months post op, no weight loss in 5 weeks!

[AC274132 15]

Has anyone else experienced this? This is my second time plateauing for quite some time! I have an appointment on Friday for my 6 month follow up, but embarrassed I didn't meet the goal set for me...

please check this out http://www.dietdoctor.com/ and it worked for me after putting on 8kilos in 5 days I have now lost 11 kilos 13 days

I hit the infamous week 3 stall which lasted 3 weeks! I am losing again but slowly! I was a band revision to sleeve and that apparently makes weightloss even slower. I am concentrating on Protein and Water and letting it happen. Excercise needs to happen for me...rain has left me feeling unmotivated. Keep on the course!!

I regularly experience plateaus any where from a couple of weeks to a month long. I start taking body measurements once a month which shows that even when I seem to stall I have lost body fat in inches. Here is a copy of my past 180 days weight loss Which shows the frequency and length of some of plateau. Once I recognized it as a pattern - I stopped worrying about it. Just stay on the program and trust the process.

I should also add that yes, the scale didn't tell a story I wanted to hear but my clothes continued to feel looser. NSV is your friend!!

My clothes definitely feel looser and I can tell slightly my body comp has changed, just frustrated. I haven't been drinking Protein, rather trying to eat it and I'm wondering if that's my problem. I too need to exercise, just beating myself up

[MsUjima 109]

I get plenty of Protein. I drink a Protein shake every morning made up of unflavored Isopure 2 scoops (52 grams) and pure Protein (35 grams). Then I eat regularly doing the day.

[lucky1gg33 107]

Per the program I went through, the body can only absorb 30g of Protein in one sitting. Maybe drink half of the shake for Breakfast then again at mid morning?

I'm a band to sleever, I'm 4 months post op and only lost 20 pounds. And now I'm at this stand still and don't know what to do. I have a personal trainer and work out 3-4 days a weeks. It's very frustrating to only be down 20 pounds in 4 months and my doctor expects me to lose 40-50 pounds in 6 months. I got some ways to go before I lose another 20-30 pounds

[AC274132 15]

Bel6692 that happened to me as well and I believe I posted back when it happened. It was for about 2-3 weeks and then my scale dropped 4-5lb overnight. I'm just getting scared because this seems too long to go-- 5-6 weeks?? I guess I'm questioning what I'm doing wrong

because I am revising from band to gastric bypass my doctor challenged me to find the secret calories in my diet. I took this challenge and started logging everything I put in my mouth and I found secret calories in a lot of food and portions. I lost 10 lbs during this last month. eating the same healthy food but weighing and logging.

[lucky1gg33 107]

When I think about it, I actually "cheat" in some way every day. Sometimes, it's small....like a bite of my son's cookie. Sometimes it's more though. I wake up every day and give myself a "clean slate" and try again. In the end, it's up to ME! My mantra is "protein, Water and move the body" We just need to remind each other and ourselves that this journey is doable and our goals are achievable!

@@MsUjima -- how do you do that chart?

[MsUjima 109]

I keep my weight on http://myfitnesspal.com/ (which is free) and they do the chart.
