Thank you. I eat Protein at every meal and sometimes just protein. I will try adding a little more carbs and grains to my daily intake and see if i notice a faster drop in weight. Thanks for the encouraging words. Queen D

Three years out and 100 pounds down. So happy with my progress. My problem is that i am now maintaining weight for two to three months at a time without any loss, then I will drop 2-3 pounds in a week. Has anyone else been through this? Do you know why or how to get the weight loss to continue after a few years? I am eating the best i can and exercising 3-5 days a week. Any suggestions would be appreciated. QueenD

I would say if your day begins before your lunch time you need to have something in the morning to get your metabolism reved up and ready to go. Try half an english muffin with something on it like a slice of cheese or maybe some peanut butter. Also, cutting food into smaller pieces and/or taking smaller bites is a must for not getting sick. Chew slow and concentrate on your chewing..that helps me the most to avoid a painful meal. Do you exercise at all? Add something to your daily routine even if it is only for 10 mins a day...or take stairs instead of elevator those types of things. Good luck to you. QueenD

I am three years out of my lap band surgery and just crossed my 100 pound weight loss figure. So happy with that. All the hard work has well been work it. Here is my question regarding weightloss. Does anyone experience periods of time where no matter what you do, no weight loss occurs? I can go months at a time eating right, working out and nothing changes with the numbers. Then, all of a suddent I am down three or five pounds in one week. Anybody out there have that same experience? I am very curious to see if anyone understands why this might happen. Queen D
