Like to hear from people who have multiple plateaus.

I had a lap R&Y, 7.5 months ago. I have lost 115 lbs. I am happy about this; however, I do have a concern. I started around 360 and I was sure I would have more off than this by now. I have had 2.5 months total of plateaus during my post op time. This worries me, as I have a long way to go, and my window of opportunity is starting to shut. I have always drank plenty of water, I do cardio and weight lifting five days a week. I eat three small meals, and most days a small planned snack, i.e. pretzels, or V-8 juice, or occasionally a small amount popcorn. I always strive to eat my protein first. I guess I am just scared about this. I have only lost one pound in the last three weeks. I better get on the scale this week and lose a small child. :) Anyway, I don't know what else to do. I am thinking about replacing my morning meal with a protein bar. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Oh yes, I don't see my doctor for another couple of weeks, but he seemed okay with my weight loss so far. But, I do remember him saying I would probably have 2/3's of my extra weight in the first 6 months. If this is the case, I am in trouble! Thanks in advance.
