Topic: RE: DARN SCALE
I havent lost weight for several months either, though I am only 5 lbs from goal I wanted to lose a little extra so I would have a little bit of wiggle room in case I gained any back. My Dr said that the malabsorbtion part of the RNY stops before we are 1 year out. Our intestine widens to absorb more nutrients and calories because our body knows that it is not getting enough in. He told me how amazing it is that our body can figure this out. It makes sense as we would all just get too thin if it continued forever. All of our bodies are different and I have to remember that no matter how much weight I lose my body is never going to look exactly how I want it too be

Topic: RE: DARN SCALE
I'm right there with ya too - yep, since May I haven't lost either, and I've still got 35 pounds to go. I've tried upping my calories, lowering my calories, upping my exercise, drinking more, upping protein, lowering carbs...
you name it I've tried it - except working out at the gym - yes I could do more exercise, but we SHOULD be losing anyway, I dont' get it. What happened to the malabsorption part - I think ours are broken. I've been considering diet pills, this stomafx thats' advertised on OH to reduce the size of stoma, but it's not the quantity thats the problem, it' sthe darn scales. I know I've lost inches at least...

I am right there with ya! I've been stuck since May also and I also would like to lose another 10 pounds. I am sooooo beyond frustrated! I'm still eating the same amount ... usually around 1300 calories a day. I exercise 5 times a week at a high intensity. So, why no more weight loss? I'm frustrated!
I don't know what to say other than I totally feel your pain! I'm really impatient for some more weight to come off!

Topic: DARN SCALE
It just won't move...I have been stuck since MAY! I have not changed anything. II am not eating more, not eating less than I have been since around 6 months out. I just stopped losing. I am 10lbs away from goal and it's so frustrating. I work out with a trainer, one on one 3xper week...do another day or two at the gym on my own.
Yeah, I mess up sometimes...drink some wine, eat some chips and salsa BUT give me a break. Honestly, I don't understand, nothing has changed in my habits so why have I stopped losing?
I know all the reasonable things to do...go back to basics, increase you calories, up your workouts, yada, yada, yada. It just is so frustrating. I am confident that I will be able to maintain once I get there but, when will it happen?
Thanks for listening,
Trish

I can eat bread...I've actually eaten a whole sandwich. I've only tried whole wheat though...I really enjoy the sandwich fixin's inside a low carb whole wheat tortilla much better. Carbs are my best friend I am afraid.

Topic: RE: Just Venting!!
Oh Karen...
My heart goes out to you and the children. As Jean has said, thank God they have you. I'm sure you have exhausted all the posibilties, but have you thought of officially fostering them through the state? That way, you would get more support from Child Protective Services.
I wish there was something I could do to help - if there is anyone lurking reading this who has any helpful answers, PLEASE post and give Karen some advice. Maybe you could post an off topic on the main board - loads of people read it and maybe just one person has the info you need, and you can hook up?
Lots of love & hugs
Ruth
