It may just be a normal plateau, but believe me, I know how frustrating they can be. I was 355.5 on my surgery date, and only lost 10 pounds in several weeks, but thankfully, have noticed that the pounds are starting to come off again, which I hope continues, as I am VERY eager to get under 300! I also don't exercise as much, having severe arthritis in my knees, and degenerative changes in my hips and back, but find the pool helps a lot. Once it closes in 2 weeks however, I will only have the treadmill left, so I would just say if your diet is going well, just continue your walking and you should start losing again. Also, talk to your nutritionist for pointers.

You neglected one of the most important parts of this. Water. Are you getting upwards of 128oz of water a day? The human body needs water to break down fat. So if you aren't giving your body enough water to meet it's typically daily needs, fat loss is going to suffer.

You've got 3 kids, you can exercise with them as a game. Not only will you be getting your work out in, but so will they, and they will be happier and healthier for it.

I assure you, you are way more active than I am at 4 months just with your children and school! That's not a great thing but it is the truth right now.

Probably the most important thing you can do, at this point is follow your food plan (meet your Protein goals first...always), drink, drink, drink, take your supplements and LOG EVERYTHING. If you are preserving muscle and are not 100% sedentary, you'll have something to work with when things slow down and you are ready to tackle fitness. Just don't wait too long. If you do the key elements, even without a full fitness program, you will lose weight. you just can't let the others slip.

I'm still losing daily and I can't do much of anything except sit and sleep from an unrelated, elective surgery I had 2.5 weeks ago.

By the way, You really should be proud of yourself for taking this on with all of your other responsibilities. You're amazing!

Almost everyone neglects the importance of proper hydration. Also, make sure you are getting enough Fiber, if not, supplement! I take fiber supplements every morning because a Protein heavy diet isn't great with the required amounts of fiber.

You know what is funny that at the beginning the Protein Shake gave me stomachache and diarrhea that I was a fried to have an accident, and now I am constipated. Lol. But definitely I will increase my water intake.

      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.
