Before we can decide how well you are doing, you need to tell us where you started from. What was your BMI before WLS? Have you lost 75% of the weight you hoped to loose? If so, you have done very well. My guess is that you are one of the light weights like me. You cannot compare weight loss with someone who weighs 400+ if you started at 230. Ask yourself if you are truly exercising every day, drinking your 64 (or more) ounces of water, eating 60-80 grams of protein first, eating low fat. If you can answer yes to all of these things, you are probably on a plateau and en route to further losses down the road. Good luck.
