another plateu!?

I am 3 months out now and weigh 195 (down 50 pounds). I have been dancing around 195 for 2 weeks now. I had a plateu around 6 weeks. Has anyone else had two plateus since surgery? Gayle

Gayle, I am in the same boat you are in!! I have lost 50 pounds and can't get below the 179 mark! this is also my second plateu with the first one landing around the end of April! I find it VERY frustrating. I am excercising, watching what I drink and I struggle to get the protein in, but I try EVERY day! So, I guess we must travel this road and pray that the plateu will break! JK

YESSSSSSSS!!! I keep hitting a plateau just when I start losing good...but I finally moved 2 more lbs after 2 weeks. And during the time i was plateauing, I was exercising so go figure. Most be this stage, but I am down from a 24/26 to a pretty loose 18...woohooo...that is the good thing. Hope to get off the plateau wagon soon!!!! D'Lynn 232/186

Thanks for the reply. Its good to know I'm not alone. I am not exercising everyday. I'm drinking water and eating my protein though. Hopefully the scales will move soon. Gayle

I am stuck at -66 lbs and have been for almost 2 weeks, it sucks

I have had my share of the dreaded"plateaus" post surgery! Hang in there! You are doing great Bonnie

I have been stuck at 239 for 3 weeks. I am trying not to stress over it. I hope this isnt as low as I go, though. I dont want to be done at 10 weeks out! Elizabeth Sugar Hill, GA

Gayle... It is natural from what I have been told. Try toup your protein and water and see if that will help. Becky

I've had two plateaus in the 13 weeks since my surgery. The first lasted for 3 weeks, then I lost a bit, and now I'm stuck at 220lbs for about the last 4 weeks. I do what I'm supposed to do - 750-1000 calories a day, 60-100 oz of water a day, 60-80g of protein a day, and exercise like a fiend 4-5 times a week, and walk my dog 2 miles a day every day. I also work full time and have a 3 hour a day commute. I don't know what's going on, but I'm really depressed about this and about to see my shrink. My program isn't offering any suggestions, so I'm at a loss as to what to do to improve this! I'm thinking now I maybe need more sleep as I've been getting only 5-6 hours a night, and I need at least 7. Any other suggestions? Thanks! Mary Ellen 3/16/05 277/220/?

I am down 42 pounds in three months and have been at this weight for at least 2 weeks. This is also the second time for me. I am glad for the 42 pounds but it is not enough. I struggle with the protien and water but do pretty good. I do water aerobics 5-6 days a week for 1 to 2 hours each day. I sure hope I do not fail in this weight lose attempt. Donna
