If you hit 4 weeks with no loss in pounds or inches I would suggest contating your NUT. Are you keeping a food log?  What are your nutritional goals? Where are you falling with them? Are you eating enough? Eating too much? Not enough protein?  Getting in your 8 glasses of water? Those are all things to look at... if you arnt keeping a food log I would suggest starting there. That will answer many of the other questions on the list.

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1

Total lost - 153 Since surgery - 117!

Well I guess I need to start a food log. and I know I'm not getting ENOUGH protein but def. some and I'm not eating anything that I'm not supposed too...and I eat at least 2 or 3 times a day.. But I guess I need to start keeping a log.. and NO on the water... It's hard for me.. But I get anywhere from 40-64 ounces a day.. more like 20-30 when I'm off work and more like 64 when I'm at work... Well thank you again.. for all the advice..

You may not be getting enough calories in. Your body may be in starvation mode. My dietician said at one of our recent support groups. That you can trick you body to keep it out of starvation mode by spreading your protein out over several times of the day. And you really really need to get your fluid in. I agree you need to see your Nut. Belinda

How long have you not been exercising? You said you "started back" and you're not too far out post up, so that may be a key element.  When did you quit exercising and what were you doing? What sort of exercise are you doing and how often?

Exercise and getting that heart/blood pumping aids in metabolism... I'd take a look at that piece of things... it's as important as the fuel you put in and my doc asks me more questions about what exercise I'm doing than what I'm eating! Commit to moving that booty...EVERY day.  (When you read this, if you haven't exercised today, get right up and do 20 jumping jacks.)  Find a few things you love and it won't be a chore.  I do everything from water aerobics to tap dancing (in my living room when it's cold out on my patio) to twirling my old baton in the yard!  I close the blinds and put in a DVD or sometimes just my iPod in my ears and dance nekkid... I'm not one to walk on a treadmill (BORING) so I walk outside.  I walked 3 miles yesterday in the blistering cold and LOVED it.  I'm not one to ride a bike (regular or stationary).  I need variety when it comes to exercising... you have to make it part of your daily routine, just like taking a shower and dressing for work.  Maybe I'll start a post on what others do for exercise to give each other ideas!
