Hi Alison

I was also wondering about the amount of weight lost it was not great last week, it will be great to catch up ? xx
 
I seem to have stalled a bit with the weight loss but I've been told that's not unusual on other threads. Clothes are starting to 'fall off' a bit - I'm noticing clothes that were tight before are now baggy. No problems with work - can do more before feeling tired but standing up/walking around for long periods still brings on joint pain.

When the stall happens on the scales....guaranteed you've lost inches and it's shown through your clothes.
Happened everytime I got all in a tizz when I didn't see the scales move.

Oh I'm fed up. Tomorrow is week 8. Was doing well, I can now walk 2 miles and do 17k on exercise bike over 3 15 min sessions a day, but week 5 and 6 the scales were still and last week I had put 3lb on! Can't understand it . Having about 700 cals day. So, all in all about 18lb in 8 weeks :(
Hope everyone else is doing better than me. All the best to you all xx
 
Just had my weigh in for 8 weeks exact and I've lost 2 1/2lb since last wed so please please, let this be the start of my loss again ?! I have decided to keep off the scales for 3 weeks when I see the consultant and am hoping for a nice surprise loss.x
 
I agree I don't know what to do about it really im trying to keep my fluid intake but now at work its remembering could it be that? Do you know of any other reason? What are we like eh starts off good but all of a sudden just stops I expect this about 5 or 6 months in not 6 weeks crazy x
 
Exactly! I don't know why it is but its harder than before op I think. Surgery is def not the easy option, def just a tool but I'm going to do my best and not make bad choices of food etc . You never know, we will probably be laughing at these posts in 6 months. I hope lol . Good luck Val xx
 
My weight was 0.6kg up yesterday and 0.5kg down today. That's a 1.1kg variance taken at similar times. I'll just take the lower reading I think!
 
Leda, hi, don't believe we've met. Looked at your diary, you're about 6-7 weeks post-op RNY, is that correct?

If you're doing 700kcal a day, in my experience, a small calorie increase will help get things moving again. I'd try this - increase to 900kcal for a day, then drop to 600kcal. That'll give you variance and almost 'shock' the body into losing weight again. Change is good.

Then gradually increase kcal back to around 800 daily. By 12 weeks post-op, I'd be aiming for 800-1200kcal daily.

I'm coming up to 10 months post-op RNY and I'm 6lbs away from goal. Discipline with diet is key for me, as is measurement of food and calorie tracking.

It doesn't work for everyone I'm sure, as we're all different and our bodies react differently. I definitely think wls is a tool, the hard work is done by our heads...

Best of luck. :)
 
Thanks Dave I shall try that. Im exactly 8 weeks post bypass . You must be a pro by now and know what you are talking about so will let you know how it goes in a couple of weeks. Nice to meet you :) xx
 
Hi all... My scales have stalled until this week and I had 3 lb off.. That's 29 in total from the op. Feeling ok only got 3 ml in the band and booked to have more in a few weeks. I do have restriction but I can still eat normally.. Had pizza for tea, 2 slices but full after half of the second one... I would have usually eaten. 4 or 5.

Feeling good though, dropped a dress size and people are noticing now. Still a long way to go but feeling positive
 
I used to be able to eat a whole pizza, now a couple of slices looks a lot. I haven't tried pizza yet and feel it's probably best to try at home as it's a bit more fatty than what I usually have - but craving it a bit so might just go for it.

Seems I have a weekly stall and then a weight loss on Sunday. I weight myself about three times a week but Sunday is always the low point. I might try a day on low calories to 'shock' my body into action as Big Dave suggests (after a day high higher cals). As yesterday was on the lower side I'll relax a bit today and go strict tomorrow.
