When I hit a plateau, I do a few days of each of the weeks until I was told
to experiment with what I can and can't eat. It always seems to jumpstart
my weight loss again. Good luck!

Jackie,
I have the same question as you... Matter of fact I had RYN 2 years ago and
I started at 425 and am stuck at 259 too. I am also trying to jumpstart my
weightloss again. There is no magic cure. I have to cut carbs, reduce
back to 1,000 calories safely and increase my water and exercise. The
water is the biggest thing that makes or breaks my weightloss. I found
that out through journaling. I wish you all the luck and I hope you will
post on my personal IM of your sucess.

You can plateau for several months. This is a good thing so don't be
discouraged your body is catching up. Instead of weighing yourself get out
the tape measure you may be losing inches. Make sure you are not doing
protein shakes as you will regain all the weight you lost later on. This
surgery only works if you eat. I know thats ironic since eating got us
here. But eating small meals a cup of food at a time or half a sandwich,
etc and eating 6 times a day always protein first so your body is always
fueled. Your tummy is so small now that whatever you eat passes through
fast. SO its important to not starve the body as that is what leads to
weight gain. Walk, Walk, Walk, drink water, drink water, drink water.

I found a 2 step system that was very effective, and has kept the weight
off, there was no dieting or exercising involved
