| I'm getting depressed
Hi all, I need to just get this off my chest. I know that Im being very parnoid but here goes.
I'm just over 2 weeks post op and I've hit my first stall in losing. I was losing at 2lbs a day for the first 2 weeks for a total of 27lbs and now I haven't lost anything in about 3 days. I know that I can't be done with the weight loss yet. And i'm trying to tell myself that its my body adjusting from a liquid diet for almost a month to having actual food in it.
I need to be thankful that i'm not sick and can eat small amounts of food and feel fine, but man I thought the weight would come off faster  so I need you all to tell me that i'm being dumb and that i'm starting to panic way too fast!!!
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest!!!!!

ITS very normal the first stall comes at about that many pounds lost.
BEING you lost that much in 2 weeks your getting the stall that others
get at week 4 or 5 now. RELAX, follow your pouch rules and you will see the scale move soon. YOUR body is now adjusting! AND is adjusting to the
major changes in your body. YOU will continue to see rapid weight loss.
RIGHT now when the scale doesnt move your looseing the actual visual inches from your body verses the pounds you see on the scale. BOTH
ways its all good!
RELAX! and try not to scale watch to much. I know i was very bad with it
the first 10 months!!!
YOUR are not done looseing!
YOU will be a success!
(((HUG)))))
its all normal!
its more a first stall near that 30 lbs mark that most have!

Hey. The same thing happened to me...I didn't loose for 3 weeks my second month out! I understand what your going through. I decided after that to only get on the scale once a month. As long as you are eating what your Doc has asked you to, you are doing fine. It will come off and if you don't see lbs., you'll see inches. Hang in there. You are doing great.

Bren, you're doing fine with your weightloss.
If you kept losing at the rate you have been, you'll start feeling sick, because the rest of your system is unable to keep up.
If you need to do something, up your exercise just a little bit.
Moving around helps you feel better, and in control of yourself.
You know in your mind, that it's all in your mind right now, which means that you are okay.
When you get to where you want to be and look back, it will seem as if it happened in a wind of an eye.
(((((((((((HUGS)))))))))

Thanks for telling me what I needed to hear. I knew I could count on you all to point out what I probably already knew but just didn't want to listen to myself.
(((((hugs))))) to all
I know going back to work Monday is going to help me too, not sitting around thinking about losing weight will do so much for me.

OH Bren...I can so relate to what you are saying. Hang in there sweetie. It will happen for you. I hope you see some good results soon and try to not be addicted to the scale. The numbers is only a small part of your success.

Prayers on your befhalf are being answered daily. At 2 weeks, you are feeling good, able to eat healthfully, and return to work you enjoy! I so understand your fears, but have faith sweet babe, you are off to a wonderful start on your new life journey. This time is different, you will reach your destination, step by step. Your ring and your favorite dress fit now - celebrate the victory moments along the way. Try out the little tape measure from the TLC package, I would guess that you will be surprised at the inches lost. Love, always and forever, Mom

Hey Bren,
I had the same thing happen at the 27 lb mark and I didn't lose for a week then yesterday I lost 3 lbs from the last weigh (about 4 days before). However, just this last Friday and today my coworkers are starting to notice the weight loss. It always works that way. Hang in there with me....we're in this together now!
the other bren

Thanks I don't know what it is about the 27lb mark but I've talked to other people and they seem to get stuck there too.
Thanks Mom (grandmaeik) for being my biggest supporter without you I would be lost! Can't wait to see you in October.

I feel ya... I'm there too! I lost a quick 30lbs... and now this week it's amazing that I lost 4. If you can pick up the pace just a tad with your exercising... it helps... and makes you feel good. Don't loose hope. It will come off... your body is just adjusting.
