I am 2 and a half months post op and I have lost 63 lbs and I feel

great. But I have only lost 8 lbs in the last 3 weeks, and I dont have a scale. I only weigh myself when I go see the nutritionist, which is every couple weeks. That way I am not constantly on the scale. But I have noticed that my weight loss has slowed down and I am beginning to get frustrated/discouraged. I was 368 the day of surgery, now I am 305. So I am patiently waiting to get out of the 300's. My ultimate goal is to get to 170. And my surgeon said I could loose 150-200lbs from my starting weight and I hope that is true. Is this something that I will go through? Where the weight will slow down for a bit, then pick back up again?? I hope so. I am so afraid I will never lose another pound again. I eat 1/4 cup of Special K for breakfast with skim milk and splenda, I eat beans, or chicken, or something soft with protein for lunch and dinner because I am still learning what I can and cant eat. I am walking every other day as well and getting in my fluids. Is there anything else I can do to make sure my weight loss continues, and is this normal what I am going through?? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
