5 months out and at a stand still

I had my RNY on September 20th. I have lost a total of 96 pounds. I am starting to get a little discouraged because I have been at a stand still for over a week. I was wondering how much everyone has lost. And if you have had a stand still in weight loss. any suggestions for me? thanks! Michelle i

Congratulations Michelle 96 pounds is nothing to sneeze at ! How long did it take you to put that on ???? I know for me I haven't weighed under 300 in at least 5 years. I am now 260 ! I have lost 61 pounds since surgery Sept. 28,2005 (5 months) and am VERY HAPPY about that ! 61 pounds gone but not forgotten.....I don't plan on it . If I did then I would not have learned anything. We are just starting this journey don't get discouraged. Could be the body is trying to catch up . Have you measured yourself lately ? Could be losing inches instead of pounds for a while. Enjoy the ride..... Sandy

Had them off and on for 5 months means nothing to me anymore. Tke Care Barb

Michelle, I know it is discouraging to be at a stand still...I've been there for a month! Just work out, eat right and keep your chin up...it will continue to fall off...just a little slower now! ~~em

I had surgery on 9/19 and I have lost about 92 pounds. I was stuck at 90 forever, and finally 2 more fell off yesterday. I think the further out you get, the slower the weight loss gets. I just keep telling my self, that I will get there, it's just going to be slower now. Keep up the good work, and hey be proud of what you have lost. Lacey 5'4" 298/206/140 (Maybe)

96 lbs is great!! I have been at longer standstills than a week, try 3 weeks, it aint' fun. I have lost 53 lbs and am just over 5 months out. amy

Wow 96lbs that's great!!!! i too am at a stand still for about 2 weeks now i can't seem to get these 10lbs off. well for me i set short term goals i told my self about 2weeks ago that i wanted to loose 10 lbs by march 11 which will put me under 200 lbs (198 lbs) so i try to ignore the scale, work out and eat right and try to remember the protein. so don't give up your reward is on its way
