Congrats on your losses to date! Things definitely slow down. You said you up your exercise. Do you log your food intake? Have you done that for a week here and there at least to see where you're at with food and making sure you're still on target for your nutrition goals?

Consult: 368 Surgery day: 300.8 Last week: 194.4 This week: 192.6 Total loss: 175.4 pounds Since surgery: 108.6 pounds Loss this week: 1.8 pounds

Congradulations on your weight loss.. I had my surgery july 20 and have lost 76lbs,, Who would of thought this surgery really works...lol I also am a slow loser have been since the start. I look at it as less skin that is going to hang. It is discouraging but 115lbs in 9 1/2 months that is great.. keep up the great work. I think we all are going to slow down at losing and just maintain. On thing my nutrish told me was cut out eating so much cheese and peanuts.. since I did that i have lost more. Just a thought I love cheese and peanut.. Barb

I feel your pain! I lose an average of 3-5 pounds a month now and I still exercise too. I am glad for the loss, small as it is though!

Hi my name is Wendy Hail, and I am from Clovis New Mexico (yes it is in the United States). I had gastric by-pass on July 23, 2007. I have lost 115 pounds with 47 more pounds to go. My plateaus are lasting like 6 to 8 weeks now, then lose about 2 or 3 pounds then right back to plateau. When this happens I increase my workout, and really watch what I am taking in, but it doesn't really seem to make a difference, I still end up on the plateau for a LONG time. Is anyone else having this problem?
