Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
I've been reading your comments on plateaus and weight gain and just wondering when something would hit me. I am 6 months out and have stayed on the protein and some veggies (phase 4), my decision until I get to goal which last week was 9 lbs away. I had lost 71 lbs as of last week. The only change that I could see was that I may not have gotten as much protein in and my water intake was sometimes 69 ounces instead of my usual 72 or more. I exercise 4-6 days a week at a fitness ctr. Sure is a slap in the face, but I don't think I've done anything particularly wrong. I don't snack or eat inbetween meals. Just wanted to vent.
I am 9 mos since surgery, and I'm in the same situation. I can't seem to get the weight to start coming off as it was. Mind you, I could be doing alot more to help it along I think. To date I've lost 130 lbs, but have at least another 40 to go before I'll be happy with things. I have heard that sometimes you may not lose weight, but during those times, you are losing inches, so maybe that's the case :o)
Anyway, good luck with things!!
Cheers
Bev :o)
Might also consider the 5 day pouch test to shake things up a bit.
