Question:
When will this plateau end?

I am 6 months post op- I have lost 66 lbs and have 50 more lbs to go. I was losing at least 10 lbs a month until Jan when I only lost 6 lbs. I only lost 3 lbs in the last month and I am so scared that my weight loss has stopped!!! I have been walking 40 mins 5 times a week and drink 64 ozs of water daily. Please offer some advice if you can! Thank you!    — [Anonymous] (posted on February 20, 2001)

I'm 10+ months post op and within 20 pounds of goal, I guess (I don't actually have a definite goal yet). Anyway, my weightloss is erratic. Lately I've lost like 6 one month, 10 the next, 7, then 3. But, I keep dropping in sizes. Don't get too excited, it will happen. Just keep working the plan! You are doing great!

Are you eating ENOUGH? Sometimes when my weight loss slows down, I realize that I really havent been getting enough in my body. If you ARE eating enough, try varying WHAT you eat. Your body can get "bored" processing the same foods, try some different things to give your metabolism a boost. Hope this helps! and Congrats on your accomplishments so far. :)
