Last month I has the same issue! I was stuck at 205 - 203 for 3 weeks! I continually exercise and was staying between 600-800 calories (mostly Protein rich foods) a day and 60-90 grams of protein per my NUT. I upped my calories and carbs this month and continued my 3 mile daily walks and I've lost 12 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks... may be worth asking your doctor about.

Thank you!

OMG! Dont be so hard on yourself! You've lost a ton of weight in a very short time! You will continue to lose, just at a slower pace. Get rid of the fat clothes, you WILL NOT go back so you don't need them. I have found a whole new cheap temporary spring wardrobe at Sams club. Capris and jeans, $15. Eventually hope to buy some quality clothing when I reach goal.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!! Mother's Day was extra wonderful this year. In addition to spending the day with my AMAZING twins AND lovely wife, I had a surprise on the scale. I made it to onederland!! I recently moved my scale so I wouldn't be so dependent on weighing and could focus more on how I feel. Well I casually popped in for a weigh and saw "198.4"!! Thought I would share my good news!! I hope everyone is doing well!

This forum is totally my sounding board.. lol
Here I sit, almost, 5 months out of surgery, 71 lbs down from my high weight, and feeling bad about my progress... I feel like my lose has slowed dramatically. Only losing about 10lbs a month. hair falling out by the handfuls. Still struggle with my Protein intake. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE seeing the overall progress I've made, just the day to day is a struggle.
Also, anyone avoiding buying cloths? I find myself avoiding buying cloths because I am afraid to try things on that may be too small.... I have been wearing the same pants to work since right after surgery. As you can imagine, they look ridiculous but I can't seem to give them up. In the back of my head, I think, "save them for when you're fatter again"..... surgery doesn't fix the mind.. that's all on us. I also find myself hating when people say I'm "getting skinny". My head says, "I'm nowhere close to skinny and never will be" and "Sssshhhh, don't jinx it!!"
Anyway.. just ranting really.. I hope everyone is progressing and loving life!!!!

I have forgotten. I was tearing up a piece of toast for the little ones and popped a piece in my mouth without thinking. I also took a huge drink of Water after a good workout... ouch! As long as we learn as we go, I'm sure it will all be fine.

You might check with your local bariatric center and see about a clothes swap. There are some groups on Facebook too that do that. Luckily, I had several sizes in my closet so I won't have to worry about that for a while. If you have a Kohls nearby, they have awesome clearance sales. I have purchased blouses, pants and even dresses for $6-$10 each. JC Penney has good clearance prices too. I just purchased a blouse for $6.79 and pants for $8.00 in plus size for work. Good luck

2 years of hard work, 370 pounds gone.

I am six months post-op today, and I have lost 85% of my excess weight so far (184 pounds). And I have no reason to believe I won't lose the rest (33 pounds). It is all about devotion to proper food intake and exercise.
