I think calories & food in general is about 80% of it - exercise is the rest. If you aren't weighing, measuring, and logging what you eat, start doing that. Speaking just for myself, if I don't do that, I experience "portion creep" (fortunately, I'm pretty good at controlling *what* I eat - it's the *amount* that's always gotten me into trouble if I don't watch it carefully.....)

If you don't mind me asking how much do you eat a day and what do you eat??

My morning consists of cream of wheat 1/4-1/3, 4-6xs a day, lunch is usually a premier Protein shake, then later I'll have either baby gerber of refríed Beans o would say my calorie intake is about 500-600 a day, I know it's gonna take while DR did mention I have an 18month window too loose much weight as possible, but I was thinking I may have hit a stall or plateau.

oh - you're still really early out - I'm 19 months out - so we really can't compare. It sounds like you're doing fine. Your body's going to do what it's going to do, and there's not much you can do to other than stick to your program, which you are. I lost 16 lbs the first month and was a slow -but steady - loser. But I've lost 221 lbs altogether, so my pokiness didn't matter in the end. So many things can factor in to your rate of loss - age, gender, metabolism, whether or not you lose a lot of prior to the surgery (I, like you, lost a lot pre-surgery - those of us who do tend to lose more slowly because any Water weight is long gone for us). Just stick to your program and the weight will come off
