Hard time loosing the last 17 pounds!

I am 7 mos post-op,i have gone from a size 18 jeans to a size 8,but im hanging on to the last 17 pounds and it wont budge!any suggestions are welcomed!Thanks:)

How much have you already lost?  Some folks only lose 50-70% of their excess weight and that is considered 'success'. 

How much are you eating?  Sometimes folks are not eating enough to let their bodies lose (it is a paradox for sure - but your body needs enough calories to know it is not 'starving')

Change up your exercise?  Add more protein? 


We really need a bit more info in order to help.

PS!!!  You have done fabulous in 7 months.  At 8 months, I was down 80- lbs.  It took me another 4-5 months to lose the last 15 or so.

I too am struggling big time to get the last 10 to 15 off.  I keep fluctuationg making it even worse!  Usually it's up and down a few lbs here and there.  I am so frustrated and feel like I am never going to make goal.  I just hired a personal trainer to help me with my weight lifting because I do cardio all the time but not lifting like I should and I am hoping that will help.  Either way just wanted to let you know you are not alone.  I have been in a stall for MONTHS not weeks, I can't stand it!  Good luck to you:)
