Question:
My weight is loss seems to have stopped! I don't know why

I'm 6 weeks post op and my weight loss is slowed down so much I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong? I had the VG procedure anybody else?    — lisa22 (posted on June 9, 2007)

After several weeks, your body had to re-adjust...it happens to everyone, some earlier some later. I slowed down after 5 weeks and then sped up for 5 more and slowed down again for 2 and sped up....don't fret. Rev up your exercise and increase protein and liquids! You should see some results. Are you staying away from carbs??? Make sure everything you eat has protein in it, except for fruits and veggies. It's easy to "cheat" on mashed potatoes and other empty calories. Keep track of your progress on fitday.com. Good luck.

You have to shock your body out of the plateau your in. Do different exercises, eat differently etc...whatever you can do, it will only benefit you. Maybe take a week and drink nothing but liquids again...good luck!
