2 months out and still hovering

Yes emily I kno its just awful, but I hve found 6 small meals is working, unless its just a coincidence
Yrs & yrs ago a gp told me to eat 6 times a day if u hve a slow motabulision (can't spell it). I eat anything except rice, boiled potato & bread all give me pain & indigestion. I can eat them if there is a sauce on them but minute amounts. X Jan

Glad to hear you're moving again.

I need to start planning my menu instead of eating just what I know I am tolerating.. I am not losing fast at all and it is very depressing to keep seeing the same numbers on the scale. It's unbelievable when you know how little you're eating!

Congrats Jan! So you changed it up from 3 meals to 6 and that worked?

Happy days - I say that with caution..........after my initial 8 kg post op, 2+ months out and the scales are moving finally.......hooray........hovering is so depressing when it lasts so long. I have changed the way I am eating.... I am having 6 small meals a day, well three & three snacks.
Thanks to all who said it wld happen, patience is not 1 of my virtues.

Thank u so much daisy.... I know I'm not alone but it is frustrating after two months... A doc this morn said my goal was too low....but I'm leaving out at 75k he said 85 is more realistic....I will c when I get closer hows peter doing. Xx

Hi Maid Marion
I know plataues are very frustrating,but hang in there. My second month after the op l didnt lose anything but had lost 10 kilos in the first month, and now losing everyweek so hang in there it will happen

Daisy

Cheers

Aww Jan Im thinking of you. I agree maybe you arent eating ENOUGH? I suppose if your strict diet isnt working, its worth a try eating more and seeing what happens? Change it up? Even for a week or 2.

I know what you mean... I have been "stable" for months now....
I have decided to write a menu plan for the week as I know that the days that I do eat enough protein/food I lose weight....so back to basics and planning for me!

Thanks girls... For yr support xx

You aren't alone. I haven't got any pearls of wisdom but I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone.

Hugs ...

You've lost 9 kilos in basically 8 weeks.
Thats an average of 1 kilo a week!!!!!
Dont lose sight of that!
And its normal to plateau when going onto real foods.
It will happen.
xx

Thanks pauline.... I'm wondering if I'm not eating enough....my body won't let go....its harder to stay focussed when yr not loosing....thanks again...will check out the post now.

Hi Jan
I can't help you as i'm only a month out but wanted to say how frustrating
Plateaus can be a real pain!
Maybe could you change your diet at all? ie swap white pasta for wholegrain, eat different types of foods than usual - maybe shock your body a bit?

sorry i can't be of much help - good luck and i'm sure it will move, just like they're saying.
fingers crossed it is soon for you

hello, I am 2 months post op and have not lost anything since going onto real food. I am hovering around the 90kg up and down now for two months. Not eating anywhere near as much as I used to. trying to eat mostly protein. am having small amount of porridge for brekky or 1 weetbix. with lite soy milk....everyone keeps saying (including Dr France) it will happen but I want to know when... I havent been on this site for ages because I get more frustrated when I see others loosing. any ideas.....
