Question on Platue...

I had my Gastric Bypass surgery on March 5th  (Almost 5 months out) and so far I have lost 64lbs which is awesome!!  BUT my question is that I have  been at this weight for about 6 weeks.  How do I break the platue?  I exercise 4-5 days a week and I get about 1000 calories a day, sometimes a little less.  Has anyone else ever experienced this?  I feel like I am doing everything right but I am not losing anymore.  Is it normal that i would only lose 64lbs?  Dont get me wrong I am THRILLED at what I have lost so far and I look and feel wonderful....I am just looking for some advise one what I can do?

Yes thats sound like me.. I don't know I just kept what I was doing and all of a sudden I was losing a pound a week I lost  about 8 pounds in a  that week now it's  like two pounds a week  normal is about 3 pounds a week

Thank you for your response....may be its just me getting nervous and I should just let it ride and see what happens

I am 19 months out from surgery and have lost about 120 lbs.  In the first year I had several plateaus that lasted weeks.  Even when the scale wasn't moving, my body was changing, my clothes fit differently and then all of a sudden the scale would move again.  Recently I hadn't lost weight in months - thought I was finished losing and in the past 2-3 months I lost another 10-15 lbs.  The biggest mistake people seem to make is getting back into the diet mentality and when they hit a platuea, panicking and severely reducing their calories.  We were told in our nutrition classes, pre and post that doing that will start messing with your metabolism again and impact your overall weight loss in a negative way.  Don't worry- if you're excersizing and eating healthy - it will come off.  Just ride out the plateau and all of a sudden you'll see it start dropping again.  Good luck!
