I am 5 1/2 months post-op and I have only lost 62 pounds. I have been stuck at the same weight for over 3 weeks now. Actually the scales say that I have gained 2 pounds. Do you have any suggestions what I can do?

Yeah just be patient your on a plateau. Maybe up your water and protein a bit to see if that kicks it into gear. Switching up the workout wouldnt hurt either. Dont give up it will get moving again. I hit a few week plateau 2 wks post op. Imaging the weight stopping two weeks out. Wow did i start panicking. lol it finally started moving again and still goes a few lbs a week. Good Luck Tammy O

Michelle, I had my RYN on June 1st so I know where you are coming from. I sat at the same weight for 3 weeks.....kind of went back and forth with about a pound. Then last week I dropped 4 pounds and lost again this morning. I guess we just have to wait it out. Have you been taking your measurements? I dropped in inches even though the scale didn't. Your weight loss is great! Could you have lost 62 pounds on your own before? All I thought about is that I was doing everything I was supposed to be doing so I am not screwing up and the weight will come off. Someone on the June surgery board swears by eating strawberries when she hits a plateau. She said when she hits a plateau she eats strawberries everyday and then the scale moves again! Also when you look at my weights I lost 70 pounds prior to the surgery! I have lost 92 since surgery...hard to believe! Just be patient! It will move again! Sue 320/159/130 goal

Water protein excercise and 3 small portion meals a day. Food helps you lose weight.. Walking does it for me. If I dont walk I dont lose. Walking also makes my bowels move regular. Take Care Barb
