I have a queston if you think you hit a weight loss plateau, what do you do to help overcome it?

I think everyone at one time or another has had a weight loss plateau. When this occurs you need to make sure you are making the best decisions, food wise. Exercise is key, following all the rules of post op, and making sure you are getting a good amount of Protein in. Following the rules is key, if this does not help then seeing your surgeon and nutritionist is key.

Andy, I was in a similar position and getting very sad and frustrated. I started keeping an honest food diary, nothing elaborate, and found that I was getting an EXTRA 800 calories a day in flavored Coffeemate. That was a huge discovery and as soon as I cut that out my weight started to drop again, albeit slowly. I also stopped guestimating my food and started to measure it for a while. This helped, too. Good luck on breaking the stalemate.

LOL, unbelievable, huh? Sure tasted good, though. I am losing a pound a week since I did the math on that disaster!!!!

when I plateau it normally means that it's time for a fill. But I do also re-evaluate what I've been eating.
