I started out at 432 pounds. I lost pretty steady till I got to 301.4. I was at that weight for weeks. It drove me nuts cuz I really wanted to see that 200. Went to see my Dr. We decided I didn't need a fill, my eating was good. Went to see the nutritionist and she thought my eating and exercise was great. She suggested strength training. I started going to a Body Pump class at the gym and with in a week I broke that DAMN 300 mark. Try changing up your exercise with strength training and I would highly recommend "Body Pump" if you can find a class. It is very doable for anyone.

I was on a plateau for almost 4 weeks! Today is the first day it broke, finally, and I lost two pounds. How long have you been on this plateau? I imagine the liquid diet would help jump start the weight loss again, but maybe you'll hear from someone who has done it, b/c I have not done that personally. Good luck!

Please fill in your profile so we have more information to advise you better? It's hard to advise with so little information? Are you pre-op, post-op, 1 month out, 6 months out, how long at a plateau??

Sit down with the Dr's nutritionist and he/she can help you find your weak spot. I did back in March and it made all the difference. In a one on one interview they can ask the proper questions, evaluate and make recommendations. Fees are usually not all that much.

I was on a plateau for a couple of weeks. My eating was ok an ur I hadn't gone to Zumba like I had te previous month or so. So this week I started doing Zumba again and went down 3 pounds! Maybe u need to add some exercise or modify/intensify the exercise u r doing now? Ur body might have gotten used to what ur doing so u have to give it soemthig to work on

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
