Krissy, Well first of all I eat what I think to be way too many carbs but still lose 4lbs a week. I think that everyone looses differently and you should consult with your nutrition. Keep a detailed food diary for a week and go see your nutritionist and see what they say. But I know that some that need to boost their weight lost go to protien supplements and get closer to the 80 gm mark than the 60 (based on getting 60-80 gms a day). Increasing your activitity may jumpstart things as well. But when in doubt check with your surgeon or nutritionist!!! they may know just the thing to get your scale moving again. Your body may be adjusting like a few have mentioned!

Hello fellow mayers, im in need of your help ! As mosy of you know I started out day of surgery at 281 for the last 3 weeks I have not lost a poundi weighed myself today still at 223 !

Hi Friends, I am slowing down but as long as I am losing, I will take it. Before Surgery: 279.5 Last Week: 204 This Week: 203 Total Lost: 76.5 I am joining curves this week so, hopefully next week I will see a better loss. Hugs and have a great week, Esther

Beth, First of all wow the new Avatar is great! Secondly, I have the same problem so I took all the bigger stuff out of my closet and I really need to by new PJ's cause I never did do that. I have had a few things happen lately that made me realize what I must look like. One was I passed someone I have not seen recently, she said Hi but looked at me and then later came to my desk and said " Donna I did not realize it was you!". Then yesterday someone came in that I do not see very often and she pulled me aside and said "I am not sure what you are doing to loose weight but you look amazing!" She did nto know that I had had surgery (one of the few becuase I thought EVERYONE knew LOL!) But the biggest realization for me was going to buy new bras and realizing how much I had gone down in size and thien once they were lifted back up then I REALLY started getting compliments this weekend about how much I have lost. It is definetly taking me some time to get used tooo!!! I like it!!!! but it is an adfustment!!! Donna

Thank you very much!
