I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my question, but I am posting here. I am 10 months post op, and have been at the same weight for the last 6 weeks. Can anyone else tell me if this is common, if they have experienced it, and what I can do to remedy this? I have lost 112lbs to date, and have another 50 to reach my goal weight, and I have become very depressed because of the lack of weight loss. HELP!!!

I too have stalled....am 5 months out and have lost 115 pounds, still have another 65-85 to reach my goal.....

Have been at 312-318 for the past month....

Now part of that is various holidays and vacations....tend to be a little more free on the foods you eat (and things you drink) during these times...

I have been noticing that I am able to eat a little bit more food than I was at first and that I am grazing, but not near like I used too....just a matter of keeping busy...

I also workout on the eliptical for at least 30 minutes / 4 days a week....

So here is my belief.....you have to change what you are doing in order to get back to losing weight.....I am a strength coach at a Texas HS and this is the same principle as lifting.....you will eventually plateau when doing the same routine over and over.....

Change the foods you eat and the type of exercie you are doing.....

If you are lifting for strength, swith to more cadio / circuit type lifts.....

For cardio, mix it up...I need to change from the eliptical to something else.....

Change up your routine and I am sure you will find that the weight will start to fall off again....

Thanks for the reply! It's been a bit since I was on this forum as I have been busy getting my son off to his first year of college. Any ideas on how to best tone loose skin? Thanks!
