Don't worry. I was at the same weight for six weeks and just this morning I
got on the scale and had lost three pounds. It has been 10 months since my
surgery and I have lost a total of 134 pounds now. I know it takes its toll
on you when you dont see a loss. Just remember you are still loosing
inches. It will pick back up again so just hang in there. Good luck to
you. Marian

Marian is absolutely right! I too am 7 months out and have had a few
standstills, one lasting 5 weeks too. That is when your body is in shock
form the wight loss and you are losing inches at that time! Keep the faith
and it will show up in your clothing! Lori in Michigan

I am stuck in the same place. Also I had a fill and they had to take a
little out, I was coughing at night. It is frustrating but I am trying not
to let it bother me. I am trying to focus on everyone noticing I am lost a
good amount of weight lately. Getting the positive feedback is helping me
not get discouraged. You are not alone!

The best thing to jumpstart a weight loss is eat more protein. Just
remember PEW~protein, exercise and water. PEW will get you through to a
weight loss again. Good luck.

I'm about 6wks out, i lost 22 lbs the first cpl of wks after surgery and
hit a plataue on 4-19 and have only this wk lost 3 more lbs. Have faith, it
will move again. So far i have lost 2 dress sizes, about 17 inches over
all. Check your tape meassure. It will be your friend when the scale isn't.
How many cals are you getting in per day? My cals were under 700 when i hit
the pataue so i gradually bumped them up to around 1000. Drink lots of
water of course and get lots of protien. Are you excercising? Give your
body time to catch up with all that you have done to it in the past wks and
don't get discouraged. Your a "loser" remember and will continue
to lose. Best of luck and God bless.
