At 18 months out, I've lost about 160 pounds. I have about 100 more to go. At my last surgeon's visit yesterday, I had only lost 6 pounds in the last 6 months, which is what I expected. One week I'll lose 3, 4, 5 pounds, the next week I'll gain 2-3, next week gain 2-3, so basically, I'm not losing overall. I'm not doing anything different from one week to the next as far as food is concerned. I eat different foods of course, but not junk food or sugar. So the question is, why am I yo-yoing this way? I eat 4 oz of protein at each meal, except breakfast. I probably don't get 4 oz at breakfast. Below is my menu for today (at least breakfast and lunch). Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, 1 slice fried bologna Lunch: 4 oz. grilled chicken 1 cup lettuce, 1 oz cheese, 1 T. bacon bits, 2 T. dressing Snack: 2 oz roasted chicken Supper: Don't know...will be 4 oz of some type meat, plus a non-starchy vegetable. Am I eating too much, not enough...what? I also do drink at least 64 oz of water per day. I don't exercise every day, and yes I know I should. But even when I exercise consistently, I still have this yo-yo weight loss. I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions you might have.
