Question:
Is this all I'm going to lose

I'm 6 months post op and have only lost 60 lbs., and have lost NOTHING in the last 2 months. I eat little, but I do crave carbs such as crackers, pretzels. Is this the problem. I get so sick of chicken and fish and I want carbs. I've done the water, protein, blah, blah. I'm disabled, so I cannot exercise. Georgia Horton    — Georgia H. (posted on December 9, 2002)

I have a two month plateau at about the same point, so I feel for you. It will end! As far as the carb cravings go, I have found that if I eat anything starchy, I crave more, so I stay away from them completely. And they cause me to be hungrier in general. I would just concentrate on drinking as much as possible. I like to eat little dill pickles and carrots as snacks. They are not starchy or fatty and give me something to chew on when I feel a craving kick in. Good Luck! Shelli
