teengal Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 IT IS FRUSTRATING! i haveent lost a pound in like a month!! but im not gaining im so confused??!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teri Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Dont feel bad, take the 20 pounds lol. I am only 15 down, and only 7lbs since surgery which was Nov 1, 06. I think I have good restriction too, but just got there. In Ortiz's Laband for Life book, he explains the plateaus with the band. I basically am running all day, just doing different things throughout the day, walk the dogs, but no cardio just yet. I'll get there, just a little weak in that department yet. Lower BMI's seem to lose A LOT slower. Congrats to you on the working out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Teri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombourn Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Girls..Girls...Girls.... Just relax and enjoy. The fact that we haven't put any of the weight back on since the pre-op tells you that this thing works. I took two-three plates at the buffet table to get full. Now, I don't even waste my time thinking about going to such places. So it will come off, the slower the better, unless either of you are in your seventies, then you do not have any time to loose.

Kris_TX Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 My surgery was one year ago, tomorrow. I've only lost 50 lbs in the first year and there are times when I feel frustrated with it...but, then again, its 50 lbs. I have another 40 to go, but honestly, if I would just work a bit more at it...well, we all know how that goes. No worries...it will come off. It will just take some time...

bethy Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Teengal, It's great that you have lOST 20 lbs and not gained weight. Even better that you are exercising. Do you realize you may still be losing fat, yet gaining muscle? Muscle is great!!!! You want to gain muscle and lose fat. Muscle increases your metabolism and gives your body a lean tone look! Did you also know that muscle weighs 3 times more than fat. So you could lose 3 pounds of fat, yet gain 1 pound of muscle. This would be a wash on the scale but great for your body. The better test is how are your clothes feeling? Not as tight? Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged and keep up the exercise.

Sparkler513 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I had my lap ban in July of 2006. I have recently reached a plateau myself and i understand how fustrating it is. I wighed in at 275 the day of surgery and ive been stuck at 229 for two weeks! I got a job at Curves the womans gym so i wouldnt have an excuse not to work out. My advice it to stay postive and just think of what you have gained by losing the twenty pounds. I'm begining to realize that the numbers arent always the most important. How your feeling, how your clothes fit, feeling lighter and also being proud that you've accomplished something great! Losing wieght expicially after having wightloss surgery is a journey both physically and emotionally, dont forget to take care of the emotional part along the way.
