Hello Robin,
Welcome to the OH family. I had my surgery on the 3rd and I have lost forty pounds total. I also had a stall for three weeks in March. It's better to lose slow than not at all. But also remember your losing inches as well and thats also a great thing. Take it easy and I wish you the best.

I can honestly say I hate stalls!!! I know hate is a strong word, but I feel strongly about that!! LOL
I think I've had my share of them..... my third one ended yesterday it looks like (fingers crossed).

24 lbs lost prior to surgery
The local store clerk that checks me out on a weekly basis, said, "WOW! I can really tell you are losing!" I have confided in her about my WLS, so she has been watching me. That was a great morale booster! Also my DDIL said basically the same thing. She is a little thing and weights maybe 110, a fitness instructor, so she is really supportive of the exercise element, especially.
What I am having trouble with lately is NAUSEA. Seems like for the last week, I have had nausea everyday. Nothing sounds good to eat, but I am forcing a least one protein shake a day, although I feel sick afterwards. Anyone else? And the nausea keeps me from much exercise. I sure hope it gets better.

Topic: I DISLIKE (HATE IS SUCH A STRONG WORD) SLOW WEEKS!
I dislike, immensely, slow losing weeks. I have to weigh myself daily to monitor for my blood pressure meds. If I'm up, I need to take, if not, I don't. Anyway, I've lived through a couple of stalls, but gone are the days of daily weigh-ins and seeing one or two pounds gone. *sigh*.
Hopefully soon I will be able to give up the blood pressure meds, and with it the daily weigh in and go for a once a week weigh in!
Hope everyone is hanging in there!

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Hi Robin and welcome to the February board!! I had rny on February 17th and I'm down 31.5lbs since the morning of surgery and down 51.5lbs since I started my 3 day liquid diet right before the surgery. I just came out of my third stall..... frustrating as hell!!!

It's a great feeling when others start to notice and comment. I find it keep my motivation going. That's great that you're doing water areobics!! I did it through my pregnancies and loved every minute of it. I wish I could go back to doing it but their water areobics schedule and their childcare schedule don't match up :(

Topic: RE: 2 Monthers how yall doing?
Hi FELLOW FEBRUARIANS!,
I've never been to this forum before, but I'm here now! Been lurking on the main board and RNY board. I had surgery 2/10 and have lost about 42lbs. I go for my two month checkup today. I have had a couple of stalls that drive me nuts. I'm a relative lightweight (still kills me how I can be 100lbs overweight and be considerd a "light" anything
) so I fear my loss will slow. I'm walking and beginning water aerobics next week. So far, so good.

Shelly, you should check out my blog, I was downish yesterday i have been sitting at 390, for about a week, and i was explaining how frustrated i was, and hoped that i would wake up and be down to at least 389, surely this morning i was down by 2 pounds. Yes its frustration, the mind races and thinks the most stupiest things.... its one emotional rollercoster............. i guess we are both hanging!
Topic: Okay February Surgery Peeps...Finally!
Finally, I say...people are noticing! I am now down 35lbs and people are noticing on a regular basis that I am losing weight! This is so motivating! I started water areobics last week and am actually enjoying it! It truly is an amazing workout...3 days a week and lots of walking too...Today, my thoughts are...I CAN DO THIS! Anyone else feeling a little yo-yo'ish with the whole emotional piece of this...one day I am so frustrated, then I get pumped! Whew! That can be tiring in itself! Congrats to all on your weight loss, imagine if we added up all the weight lost amongst us in February! CRAZY, I bet! Yay US!
