HELP!! :-s

I am 4 months out of surgery as of yesterday and I have slowed down on loosing. I am down 76 lbs and I am only loosing about 1-2 lbs a week now when I was loosing 5/3 lbs a week. HELP! Isnt it too soon to reach a plateau? I have 65 more to go!! Malissa

Hello Malissa, I am almost 4 months out and have lost 92 lbs. Are you eating any carbohydrates or things you shouldn't be eating yet? Are you drinking all your 64 oz water? Are you exercising? These are things that may be contributing to the plateau. If you are concerned ask your doctor? No question is a wrong or bad. Oh, BTW who is your doc?

HIJACK!! Hi Jeanie! I am in the upstate in southern Greenville County. Just curious...where is Lake View, SC? Congrats on your weigh loss so far! I can't wait on my new b-day 2/23!!! Leisa

Hello Leisa, Lake View is a very small community about 45 minutes from Florence, SC. I am exactly 13 miles from Dillon, SC. It is located down Hwy. #9 If you are traveling to Myrtle Beach via #9 you will go right through my town, But don't blink you might miss us. Jeanie Hayes Surgery 10/12/04 Weight loss 92 lbs.

Hey Malissa! I am still pre-op but Jeanie's advice sounds consistant with what I have been reading over and again on the forums. Plus I can imagine it must be frustrating to slow down when you are used to 3/5 lbs a week, but I think you are not officially in a plateu unitl you have gone several weeks with NO weight loss. I say talk with the doc. I bug mine to death already! Congrats on the loss you have already experienced!! Leisa
