No movement again.
Still hanging in the 253-255 range. I hate my body, its an evil ******* of a body and I am having a hard time not going the anorexic route at the moment. I am obsessing over every calorie and beating myself up over every calorie. I am a nutcase, wackjob crazy weirdo who gets even more insane when I don't eat.

Jenn,
I've really felt your [undertandable] frustration lately. You really have had a struggle to keep a positive focus and I give you a lot of credit. I know my day is coming and I'm hoping I handle it half as well. I just wanted to try to cheer you on a bit and tell you to still love the evil *******!

p.s. I know you track your food. Is your NUT open to you faxing or emailing your food journal over and see if they have any suggestions?

Thanks. I probably should contact the dietician. I haven't been impressed with the one my surgeon had in the past, but apparently he replaced her. I haven't had any interaction with the new one. My surgeon keeps telling me to up my calories every time I see him, which is getting ridiculous to me at this point. He'd also like a lot of those calories to come from 2 protein shakes per day. Ugh.
I'm going to try dropping to 1200 or less for a month or so, keeping the protein high and drinking as much fluid as I can manage.
If I don't lose anymore, in the long run its still been a good thing, but I am very disappointed right now.

Some serious emphathy and sympathy from me to you today, Jen. I got "stuck" in the 220-225 pound range for something obscene -- like 5-6 months -- and it seemed like no matter what I did my body wouldn't move past that. I tried changing my exercise, the composition of my diet, eating less, eating more, drinking more (fluid that is...), and none of it worked. At that point, I'd lost around 165 pounds and I started to think that maybe that was going to be it for me.....
I finally got some additional movement by seriously bumping up my exercise from about 5 hours a week to something like 7-9 hours per week, and I added strength training to my routine. I still had to tinker around with my daily calorie intake to see movement on the scale, and honestly it took 12 months or so to drop another 30-40 pounds.
For me, I think it was a combination of my body just needing a break, really needing to change up my exercise routine (I'd been doing the same cardio routine for ages when I hit the 220-225 plateau), and needing to continue to be diligent about what I ate.
You are not a nutcase, wackjob crazy weirdo - you're someone who's doing the same thing you've been doing and previously getting results, and now that's no longer working so you're trying to figure out what to do to continue getting results. So kudos to you for continuing to work on figuring out how to get your body to respond; you're one smart, gorgeous chick and I KNOW you will get past this bump in the road.
