Go back to the basics... lots of protein, water and exercise... if you are already exercising regularly... do another type of exercise... use another set of muscles.

Ann, I am only 4 month's post op and a very slow loser at that. But I have learned thru reading that do the protein thing and cut out the carb's. Drink protein and eat protein first. That will increase your water intake as well which should help. Join www.bariatriceating.com, it is another board and samples of protein are sold, etc. I tried to e-mail you but it wouldn't go.
