Suggestions....

I had my surgery back in November and am down 80 pounds!! Which I am very happy about!! The thing that has been bothering me is that I have been hovering at this point for at least a month if not more!! I feel like I need a little something to "jump start" my body again and I am not sure what.... I am sure that there is someone out there that has had this same problem and hopefully I can get some advice! Any thing would be helpful!!! Thank You!

I havent had the sugery yet, but a friend of mine that has and that had a platau (sp?) said that her dr. suggested going on liquids again twice a week and changing her exercise i.e. from walking to biking or whatever you like. It worked for her! Good luck!!

Thank you for the suggestion!!! I will give it a try!!

Hey Andrea, CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm one year out now and I've lost 148 pounds and am 2 pounds from goal. I went from a size 22-24 to a size loose 4 or solid 2. I'm still in shock! Whenever I stall like that, I go through the Plateau buster's checklist and diets. There is a link below. http://www.lowcarb.org/plateaus.html I also seem to drop about 5 pounds everytime I put the brakes on and eat only proteins for a day or so. That seems to shock the pouch into behaving. You have probably read pouchrules for dummies too but here's a quick link. I like to go there every now and then. http://www.nikkiinmd.com/pouch_rules.htm Best of Luck, Hannah
