I hate to be such a debbie downer but i am still stuck at 204! its soo annoying! i just can't get past it! i didnt even loose weight when i put my self on a 3 days Liquid Protein shake only diet! I know i have lost a good chunk so far but i set a stupid goal in my mind i wanted to be at ONEDERLAND by my 21st birthday on July 3! i guess that wont be happening and ill have to come to terms with it but any advice? I am not eating any more than before...i prob have been going out to eat more often but i get a healthy salad or grilled chicken and keep the portion smalls. I am very happy to have come so far but i really wanted to loose these 4 lbs! :( any advice or tricks would be great!

Thanks!

Are you adding any cheese or having dressing with the salads? Those really push the calories. Also restaurant foods are really high in salt. If possible look at the calorie counts online.

I looked up a skinless BBQ chicken breast meal and was astonished to find out they put the chicken in an oil based marinade before BBQing. The calories and fat were through the roof!!! Yes I know BBQ is high in sugar but who would have guessed the fat/oil. In general restaurant foods have a lot of hidden calories.

No i dont have dressing or cheese. I always look online for the nutrional value of the foods before i actually decide to go to the resturant and then i add an extra 100 calorie to what the website says just to be safe. I dont eat more than 1200 calories a day i just dont know what gives :(

Don't worry...you will get there! I couldn't get past 190 myself for the longest time, then suddenly I dropped to 187.8, where I am now. didn't change anything but mostly stuck to Protein first, then veggies. You are almost there and you have done great so far! Happy b'day on July 3rd!

I got stuck at having lost 60 lbs (fluctuating between the same 8 lbs or so for a whole year); technically, I guess I'm back to about 50 lbs.

I hadn't been for a fill in forever and finally went to a different clinic today (which I liked alot) and got another cc. Hoping it helps for me.

Good luck to you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
