We discussed this last night at our gastric weight loss meeting. Are you
eating a lot of carbs and if you are are they simple carbs? Are you getting
the proper amount of protein? What about exercise? Hang in there, it will
come off.

Stay off the scales! This is going to happen - it happens to everybody. If
you are doing all the right things - eating protein, drinking a lot of
water, exercising - you will lose the weight. People become obsessed with
the number on the scale. I don't even own a scale and never get weighed
until I go to the doctor. believe me, it's more fun to see 35 lbs drop than
it is to see 1 lb. Good luck. You are doing fine. Don't stress yourself
over the numbers!

Maureen is right the more you worry about your weight the harder it is to
loose. Stay off the scale and eat right, exercise and you will do fine.

Congradulations on losing so much weight!!!!Almost 100 lbs in 6 months is
phenominal. One thing to consider is your body is re-adjusting itself and
is perfectly normal. Keep up the good work with the protein, water, and
excercise.

Hi Malynda, I know totally what you mean. I had RNY on Oct 2009. Right now
I am only 43 lbs away from my goal!! EEK!! I'm so excited. But this last
few weeks I've experienced the same thing. I'm not worried though because I
know this is going to happen especially when you get closer and closer to
your goal. The weight seems to take a bit longer to come off. It happens to
all of us without question. And if you're like me, even though I know it's
not a good idea to weigh daily, I still do. I can't help it. But in the
time that's passed I now know what to expect from the scale. I had stalled
at my current weight now for 3 weeks and just this past week I suddenly
dropped 5 lbs without changing what I was normally doing!! It was utterly
amazing but I knew I was eating right, exercising, and drinking my fluids.
Yes the stalls will come but you will pass them as well. So if you weigh
often, as I do, expect the stalls because the scale is not often telling
the whole truth. By all means measure, measure, measure! I've not only lost
over 177 lbs but also have lost a little over 54.75 inches!! So you see,
not all success is told on the scales. Also, as other posters have said, be
easy on your body. Give it time to "catch up" with all you're
doing with it. Right now I'm having a bit of a problem with hypoglycemia.
So I adjust as necessary but I know my body will soon "catch up"
to what I'm telling it to do. We all just need to give ourselves time. So
congrats on all you've done. I'll bet you feel so much better, more so than
ever before! Way to go! Keep up the good work and measure! Prayers and hugs
for your continued success, Sandy C.
