Hi Maria, My name is Aleshea, I don't think you have too much to worry about, after all you have dropped under the 200 lb mark. I have the same fears as you do; I feel as if I haven't lost enough. I started at 267 (5' 3") and am now 248. I've lost 19 lbs. My surgery was February 20, 2015. I use to weigh myself too without clothes; but, now I put on my bra, panties, top and pants or dress before weighing myself because that's the way the doctor is going to weigh me. I don't believe I'm eating right. I can't stand another protein shake therefore I'm skipping meals altogether especially since I'm not hungry. When I try to eat, 2 spoons or forks in, the gurgling and bubbling in my stomach gets bad. Just like you my first visit with the doctor after surgery was canceled, I'm now rescheduled for the 17th of March. Everyone and every body is different, those that are losing weight fast may also plateau faster. That 1 lb you gained could be a matter of standing on the scale slightly different or an uneven part of the floor. Well let's hope our doctors don't cancel the next appointment; we both seem to have a lot of questions that need answers.
