Question:
Has anyone lost all their weight without suffering thru plateaus?

My rate varied but I only had one major plateau, see my profile its in
there. Plateaus are normal.

I have never hit a plateau. I lose some every week. I want to lose 8 more
pounds and that is well below what the BMI chart says is ideal for me -
like about 12 pounds but I am short and small framed. I wish you luck. RNY

Hi! I think it is different for all of us. Sorry guys who just posted but
us women are more prone to plateaus. It has something to do with our
hormones and that 'time of the month'. Do I think you can do it without
plateaus? Sure. But do I know you can have plateaus? Absolutely! It
isn't easy, we didn't get this way overnight. I am going through one right
now in which I actually have gained! I am working through it but it isn't
easy. Don't beat yourself up like I do every time you slow down or plateau.
Know it is your body's way of resetting its own 'rhythms'. Good luck!

I am six months post op down 104 pounds which is 4 pounds below goal for
me. I have yet to hit one plateau. I have gone from a size 24 to a size
8. I do make sure to get in 64 ounces of water a day and always get in all
of my protein which will speed up weight loss. I take Real Meals which has
60 grams of protein per serving.

I've never "suffered" thru a platue because I avoid the scale
like the plague! So I wouldn't even know if I've had one. Scales are bad
for my mental mind-set!

I too never suffered thru a plateau. But then again I was/am not one of
those people who weighs religiously. Right after surgery I was very anxious
about how much I was losing but only got weighed at the Dr.'s office. After
the first 3 months I would weigh myself once in a while at home but not
much. I used to get VERY depressed (pre-surgery) when I would weigh myself
and not be where I wanted. This made me turn to food MORE. So Ive learned
to just go by how my clothes fit and let the Dr.'s weigh me. At last
check-up I was 123 lbs and at goal!!!!
