Hi Dino, I have a couple of questions for you. I am 2 yeats post op and I went through the same thing back about 8 months ago. i had been stuck for 6 plus months and still needed to lose 26-30 lbs. i was eating around 900-1000 calories a day and exercising 4-5 days a week on the tread mill. What I found out after months of analyzing my meals was I was not eating enough calories or enough Protein. I tweaked my meal plan, I had 3 balanced meals a day but added 2 Protein shakes a day, one in the morning between Breakfast and lunch and one in afternoon between lunch and dinner. I went from 60-70 gms of Protein a day to 100-120 plus grams of protein a day. Also there is a good book you should read from a web site that talks about losing the last little bit of weight. I hate to say this but you are starting to get to the hardest part of the journey, in the beginning when we were larger we could lose a pound a week but as we get smaller the weight falls off differently and it bocmes harder and harder to continue to lose at that rate. It is possible to start losing again but you have to get your body back into fat burning mode instead of starvation mode and I am going to hold onto every fat cell I can.

Do you keep track of what you eat? If not you will be surprised at how much you really do eat.

Second how much protein do you eat?

You say you exercise, but are you eating 3500 cal less per week than your body needs to maintain itself?

Do you know your BMR so you know how much your body needs to survive everyday?

All of these things are key to losing, I know we are not on a diet but you have to get your body revved up in order for it to start losing again, You can PM me if you have more questions.
