Stuck!!!!!

Hi Everybody.... Well I am 9 weeks out and my scale has been stuck for the last 3-4 weeks,    I don't know what is the matter.  I am taking in my protein, water, etc.... HOW the heck do I break this plateau, what am I doing wrong?    ....This can't be all that I am ever going to lose, ....can it?   I am feeling the whole self-doubt, blame       and have no way to get to any kind of support group....Do you all have any suggestions?  I swim everyday for about 45 min. and I also walk....What can I do....I feel like a failure...  

please don't worry...I had the same problem...I guess its your body readjusting....keep the faith! Rosemary

Thats almost 27lbs a month!!! Youre doing great!!!! Your body has been threw a lot and like Rosmary said it needs time to adjust. Right now its saying, woah.....I dont like this, and is hanging on to all its got. YOU WILL LOOSE MORE!!! Just keep doing what you're doing and the scale will move. I also had DR Kim and have lost 168 lbs. I co- chair a support group in Liverpool on Thursday nights if you can make it there. Its a great group!!

Hang in there and hide the scale if you need to..................... ..............it WILL drive you crazy!!

Thanks Kathy!!!  Thanks for the reassurance and good advice   I should hide my scales for a couple of weeks!    I wish I could come to your support group, I live outside of Ithaca, and have no vechicle right now...so if the bus doesn't get me there or I can't walk it   , I can't go... 168 pounds!!!!!!!!   WOOOOOHOOO  that is awesome!!!!!!  Way to go!

Don't worry sweetie!!

I've been stuck about that long, too.  I'm not worried, I know the scale will move soon.  I'm 11 weeks out and feeling good!  I've noticed I'm still losing inches, even if the poundage (lol) is staying the same.  Some size 14 dresses are too big on me!

Muah

Thank you my sweet friend!!  Love you!!!

Love you, too!!

Sorry you're feeling so frustrated. Think most of us can relate. Seems to be normal to reach a stall point from time to time. The scale can be your enemy. Stick it out of sight somewhere & give yourself a break from looking @ it. Don't be discouraged, you're doing fine. Remember you are a unique individual and although we all share having WLS, we are all different.  Hugs -2- U

Boy can I relate. But you've done fantastic so far & you're doing everything right. How come it sounds good when I tell someone else but not when someone tells me? I finally lost another lb., but when I put on a skirt this a.m. that didn't fit last week, it fit great. go figure.

Congrats on the GREAT weight loss and on the swimming too!

hugs,

Thanks everyone!!!  You have really made me feel a lot better!!!  You all are  don't know what I would do without this site!!!! Thanks again!!!    

Hear me talk!
