I'm in the same boat as you. 41lbs down and only lost one since the first of the year. But the good news is I am shrinking. I cleaned out mu closet today, and fit into a whole size smaller in pants. I try to remind myself that this is not a race, it's the rest of my life. But sometimes I want to throw that scale out the freakin window! I'll keep keeping on until the scale catches up with me.

Good luck!

Thank you for the feedback, just wasnt sure if this was normal or not. I have dropped 4 pants size's total but was really hoping to be a bit smaller by now. Glad to hear Im not alone.

Again thank you

shake up your routine a little. Shock your body! It probably has gotten used to what you've been doing so try something extremely new like liquids (lots!) and increased activity for a few days! All the best...

I know what you mean, I've lost 100 lbs in 7 months and for the past 2 months havent lost. I went back to the Dr and Im doing a strict calorie diet. But before this I did the 5 day pouch test. They say its a plateau, but hope i could break it cause it does get frustrating at times.

I'm feeling much the same way. I lost about 30 lbs and then the weight loss slowed and stopped. I talked to my primary care doctor and she tells me she's known several people who only lost 20-30 lbs. This completely upset me and left me feeling hopeless. I go in for another fill next week and I'm hoping this will get me back on track. I'd like to prove that doctor wrong. I've since changed doctors for many reasons including the way I felt after this discussion.

On a positive note - I'm doing a 5 mile marathon June 2nd to Celebrate my one-year bandiverssary! Wish me luck! :)

How many calories are you eating daily? You may need to either drop or add some calories to shake your body up a bit. Are you weighing your Protein? If not I would start. My doctor says 3 oz. Eat only that 3 oz of Protein and then low fat/cal veggies until full.

Are you exercising? I know it sounds harsh but I do at least an hour a day 7 days a week. You may need to shake up your exercise routine. Do different exercises or mix up your routine so you don't do the same exercise everyday.

To honk- do you count calories? And how many meals do you eat? Is three oz a number we should all follow?

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
