I'm 8 months out and it's been over a month since I lost weight. I'm getting my protein I exercise 2 a week and prob have 1200 or less calories a day? Has anyone been in such a long plateau?

Hi

I am always in a plateau,no really I am!

I only lose weight about once every month for about 3 or max 4 days when I really drop between 7-10 pounds.The rest of the time my weight is at complete stand still.

It started at 5 and a half months when I had a 7 week stall.Since tyen it stair steps.

However,my calories are usually around 850 and my carbs under 50.

You should lose again.Or drop your cals and carbs for a week to see if it doesnt help.

Oh yes! July was six months post-op for me and since then I've only lost 2-4lbs per month and I seem to loose it all within a day or two of starting my period. I'm not exercising like I should either though. I've become real complacent, which isn't good. I need to tackle the toning exercises now and just haven't kicked myself hard enough in the tush to get going!

yep, at 8 months I was stuck for 6 weeks! don't worry the scale will move again

Yep. That's pretty much me now too. I'll be seven months out in a few days and for the last month, I've started losing slower. Maybe 3-4 pounds a month compared to earlier. I'm still losing though so I'm good with that. Our bodies like to play games with us don't they? It's so strange to me that I can be eating so little and not losing more. My calorie intake is usually between 800 and 900 with carbs around 50 or so, sometimes higher. I'm now kind of struggling with my water intake. Not getting enough in so I need to work on that. Otherwise all is good. My 6 month blood work was perfect and my surgeon is really pleased with my results so far.

I was doing great with toning exercises pretty hardcore but I'm not sure why but since them is that I've been stuck on this plateau so I kinda have up on those

Thanks I really hope so. I'm going on vacation and I was hoping for my belly to see the light if you know what I mean I guess I'll have to postpone

I was hoping to extend my honeymoon a bit longer I guess. I have to work harder but I've been cheating too I don't feel I still have the same restrictions and sometimes freak out when I see how much more fits

I was stuck for 7 weeks as well. Then I went to visit my mom and ate like a pig for a week. Came home and lost 3 pounds one day, 2 more the next then another 4 the next week.

I am also 8 mo out and stuck. I have even gained a few lbs. I am so worried with all this holiday cheer coming up. I wanted to start Jillian Michael s 30 day shred but just got work back from my orthopedic surgeon that I can only do jumping jacks 1-2x's a week so that work out DVD is out. have to find something else to do. maybe just more bike and elliptical.
