My dear hubby and I have been married for nearly 20 years, and he is my EVERYTHING! He had band-to-sleeve revision in mid-November 2013. His goal is to lose 100 lbs. In the eight weeks following surgery, he lost 55 lbs. But in the past 3 weeks, the scale is not moving. I tell him all the time how great he is doing, but I can tell he is starting to get discouraged. I'm not sure how to best support him during the inevitable 'stalls'. I figure this group can give me the best advice - - so.... what do you recommend?

Thanks to all for the supportive response. Looks like the scale is beginning to move again. After five weeks of no change, he dropped three pounds this week. He increased Proteins and upped his treadmill time. I'm so proud of him! The journey with him has made me so much more aware of the commitment that it takes to be successful after weight loss surgery. I have respect for each of you and the supportive community that you are creating here. Good Luck!

@dreambig - Thanks for the advice. As he keeps losing weight, there has been lots of 'adult time' We hid the scale today and agreed to weigh only once a week. I'm more stressed over that than he is. (Since his surgery, I've been losing weight too.) Our new habits include: 1) splitting Entrees when we eat out 2) keeping lots of fresh fruit around to snack on 3) giving the girl scouts a donation, instead of buying Cookies I've never been a good cook, but I have tried a few healthy recipes and my kitchen skills are improving

@cherbear33 - thanks for mentioning measurements. That is something that he has never done but might be helpful when the scale isn't moving. I just wish i had thought to take his starting measurements!! Snap!
