I have been there for the past six weeks! I feel your pain. Yesterday was my one year surgerversary and I wanted to be down 200 pounds. I didn't make it yesterday, but I made it this morning. I think these last pounds are very difficult for everybody. What worked for me was to scale back my Protein, I was getting over 90 grams some days and I took that down to closer to 80. At the same time I upped my workouts, two days of weight work a week and four days of aerobic classes (Zumba and Turbo kick). I also do a 45 minute walk every day. The pounds came off very slowly, ounces at a time, with lots of ups and downs. I would still like to lose 2-3 more pounds, I want to maintain where I am, but I want a bit of wiggle room. Stick with your plan! Have faith!!! You can do it!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
