Show of hands please...re: breaking the 200# mark.

It seems that a number of wls-ers have had their weight loss "stall" just at or around the 200# mark. I had my open RNY last March and have lost approx 93#. Plateaus have plagued me from my first month post-op but I'm working on a 6 week plateau now that really has me stymied. I'm right at the 200# mark and my weight flucuates anywhere between 198 - 208#. I know I have alot of water retention but I'm doing much better at getting all my water in these days and I'm also exercising (aerobic type) more too. My caloric consumption stays pretty much the same (1000-1200 daily) and I am still conscious of getting most of my protein in everyday too. Any suggestions or comments on how other wls-ers have handled this? I keep battling the "is this all there is?" syndrome. My surgeon has set my goal weight at 137#...my personal goal is nearer to 155#. Either way, I've still got a ways to go. Thanks. cj
