Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 , 57 pounds is great. I know presurgery, there is not too much talk about plateaus during your first 6 months or so but it happens. I was telling someone the other day via email on here that when I reached six months, I would not lose anything for 2.5 to 3 weeks and then I would loose 7 pounds or so. Just don't let it get you down and the weight will come off just at a slower rate. You will be losing inches though so keep that in mind. Congrats and keep on keeping on.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 , Just FYI...Back in the old days when I was a new postop, my mentors defined a plateau as 6 weeks at the same weight. Lots of people say that if you take your measurements during this time, you'll see shifts those, indicating that your body's shape and/or muscle mass is distributing itself in a new way. Meanwhile, just stick to the basics and I guarantee you'll start losing again. Don't get discouraged and don't let this tempt you into eating things that are not " pouch-friendly " . Don't drop the exercise, and keep drinking your water. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi , congrats at the 57lbs., when was your surgery? I just had my surgery on 10/12 and I'm down 13lbs. which just amazes me. My surgeon called last night to check inwith me (Dr. Umbach/So.S.F.) I told him about the 13lbs. and he told me to stay off the scale until I see him on the 25th. I promised him I would. Can't wait to get these staples out.
