Hey everyone, I hit my 3 month mark on Oct 11th. I have lost a total of 68 pounds. On the day of my three month appointment my doc said that from this point on the weight lost would slow down. Since then it has stopped all together. Am hitting a plateu or is that it. I am feeling very scared that things are going to reverse themselves and I will gain it all back. I am sticking to the basics, things at work have been extremely stressful and busy. I have been neglecting my exercise big time - whew! having said that I am wondering if this is the missing variable?? Anyone else going through this??? Thanks, Mark

Mark, My doc. said the same thing & I do experience "plateaus" if I increase my protien intake, water intake & exercise at least 30mins/day 5x/week my weight loss increases for sure! Not to worry, you'll be fine. just make time for some walking. Hugs, Heather

Mark- My Dr. said that same thing, as well as others on my state board. SO...just keep doing what you know you should be doing and it will start back up again. Maybe during this time you could measure more....our bodies are just catching up with the loss we've already had. Christina S

Hey, Mark I had a different surgery than you did, but I would bet it is just a plateau. 68 pounds is a lot of weight to lose in 3 months; your body has to adjust to the changes. Don't stress about it too much, and DEFINITELY don't weigh every day, it will drive you bonkers! Blessings, Jezia
