sometimes i lose and sometimes i dont

[andielmt 0]

ive noticed that my weight loss is so unpredictable now. for the first two weeks i lost 1 pound per day and then i slowed down. i went 6 days without any weight loss and then lost 5 in two days. i am almost 5 weeks out and lost 20 lbs in 4 weeks but havent lost anything in the past 5 days. is it because im not eating much and my body thinks its starving? for example somedays i eat around 1000 calories and somedays im so nauseas that i may only eat 500-600 calories. should i be more consistant on the calories? its hard to eat or drink anything when your nauseas. should i eat anyway when my stomach is feeling icky? they say dont eat if your not hungry but somedays i barely get anything in. and as far as weight loss is this normal to go days without any weight loss.

I will go for a week without the scale moving .1 of a pound (digitial scale) and then all of a sudden it will jump down 1.4 pounds--then it will stay there for another week or so!

At Thanksgiving I began a food Log (like I did for the 6 months prior to surgery for my nutritionist) and discovered I am eating 600 - 750 calories a day, with 60-80 grams of Protein.

So you know what? I don't worry any more! As long as my scale is not moving UPWARD, I can't be doing anything wrong! After all, it was YEARS that the scale did nothing but go upward--so I've won the battle already!

If I'd wanted to lose quickly, I would have taken my surgeon up on the offer for the more-invasive bypass surgery!

All I say to you is "Don't worry--our metabolisms are so-o-o-o s-s-s-l-l-lo-o-o-ow-w-w but they have to catch up sometime!"
