I am one year post-op on July 26th, and have lost 120lbs!. Hope you are all feeling good. Has anyone else's scale been stuck on the same number for a long time? I have been stuck at 172lbs for 4 months or so now . I have been able to eat almost anything but find that I don't get in very many meals a day. I well once again try to up my protein and exercise. I feel good about my weight loss but am a size 12-14 and would rather be a 9. Has anyone else experienced this? Do I have a chance to loose more now that I have been this weight for so long? Any other suggestions? God Bless you, Sherry

Hello Sherry, Tomorrow is my 1 year anniversary since my surgery. I too have lost 120 pounds and have been at the same weight for the past 4 months. When I saw your message, I thought I could have written it. I feel very good about my weight loss, but am so frustrated at being stuck at 120 for so long. I will share with you also that I do continue losing inches. I am also in size 12 - 14, and would also like to be a little smaller. I wish I could give you suggestions, but I have tried many different things. I am not real concerned, but I would like to get beyond this plateau, just to say I did. I am 5'10' tall, and my surgeon recommends my weight be about 150, and I am 170. I do feel 150 may be a little low for me for I have a big frame. I am curious, how much do you eat at one meal? I can eat an egg sandwich, or a kid's Wendy hamburger meal, or maybe a small boneless chicken breast with about a 1/4 cup mashed potatoes and a half a cup of green beans. Does this sound like about what you eat? Well it is good to hear from you, hope to hear from you again. Penny
