 Hello all....

I am just under 11 months out from surgery and have hit a stall for the last 3 months.... Any advice that you all can give me would be wonderful!

When I went into surgery i was 330lbs... I am now weighing in at 210 to 215 pounds.  I am COMPLETELY satisfied with the weightloss so far, but I am stuck on the weightloss goal that I have set for myself.  I told myself that my goal weight would be 160 to 180.  I am approximately 30 pounds to get to the high end of my goal weight.  I would like to know any "tricks of the trade" that Obesity Help members can offer me...

I haven't experienced a stall yet (only 3 weeks post op), but I see posts like this all the time. Everyone says to cut carbs under 50 if you are eating carbs. If thats not the issue, you sometimes need to UP your calories a bit.

Just a few things I've heard.

diary everything you eat and drink. After a few days look it over and see where the problem is. Do you graze? I recommend 3 meals a day with a midmorning and midafternoon snack as needed. No liquid calories. No junk food, chips, or booze.

If you can post a normal days menu, I can try to help.

 OMG I am right there with you!  Same weights and all.  I have been stuck, but I lose my weight all in a period of 10 days a month and lately it has only been 5lbs or so a month.
But This week I started REALLY stepping up my workouts and started to mix running in with my workouts and to my amazement, I lost 4lbs in a week I usually dont lose weight.  So I recommend changing up your workouts!
