I started at 240. I'm staying around 165 now on my scale. The docs scale says 170. SO I think it is normal to slow way down. I'm supposed to weight 118. I dont think I'll ever get there. *S* Jamie

Hi there Christine I too was a "light weight" (tell that to my knees) I started this journey at 259, lost 19lbs before surgery and the day of my WLS I was at 240. I have been floating around 170 for a while now....but I do notice that the inches are melting away. Try upping the protein and water. I seem to notice that when I do that then I will lose a few pounds. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I have noticed that other june bugs have slowed down too, so we are not alone. LeAnn 259/170/140? This a new picture of me, just posted. Remember, if you work out, muscle weighs more than fat.

I eat about 1/2 cup at a time - 3/4 if it's been a long while since my last meal or if I have a protien drink for breakfast and then lunch after noon.

I had my surgery on June 22. I started at a 40 BMI. I am 5' 9 1/2" and was 276 day of surgery. Today I am 185, but have only lost 4 lbs since January 4th!!!! Anyone else REALLY slowing down? I think my BMI is between 26 and 27 now. I really want to get to 155 or 160, but I am starting to think I might not unless I starve myself? Any thoughts?

Are you getting in enough fluids? I suffered from dizziness some years ago, it turned out I was perpetually dehydrated. You could also be hypoglcemic. You might want to check with your dr. Good luck.
