Alright, so I have pretty much lost nothing in the last two months. I am 16.6 pounds away from my goal weight and this is my first real plateau.  What suggestions do you have for me?  I need to get there... I can feel it!  I want to hit my goal so badly!  I have lost about 3 pounds in the last two months.  UGH. Any ideas???

I got the scale moving again by pushing water.

First thing in the morning I had to drink a bottle of water (16 or 20oz) before I could eat anything.  Kept my meals/snacks to 100-200 calories.  Waited 30 mins after eating before doing another bottle of water.  I wouldn't allow myself to eat until I had finished the water.  If I didn't feel hungry 30 mins after eating, I'd wait until I started to feel hungry before drinking the water.  I learned even on my pre-op diet that drinking after eating pushed the food through quicker and made me hungry sooner.  I don't wait 30 minutes after drinking to eat--I figure the water passes through my stoma quick enough and it also makes me feel more satiated on a 100-200 calorie meal/snack.

I also try to stick to foods that have at least 1g of protein for every 10cals.  This leaves a lot less room for the calories to come from fat or carbs.  I'm working on making a list of the foods that fit this ratio to share with everyone.

But to be honest, drinking the water like that dropped the weight even with my eating poorly.  I did it for about 2 weeks before my last surgeon appointment and I was surpised to weigh in there at my lowest weight ever.  It is water weight for sure, though, because I can bounce up 10lbs in a single day depending on when I weigh myself!
