I am on Medifast trying to lose my 10%, so they will schedule me for surgery. I have lost about 9lbs. in a month and have about that to go. I feel like I have hit a plateau. Any advice or experience with the medifast diet?

Sorry no experience with Medifast. However your surgeon's office SHOULD have experience; call and ask them what they suggest! Good luck!

I did the Medifast diet in the summer of 07. I did well with it and lost about 55 pounds in about 3.5 months. Of course, it all came back once I stopped the diet.

My suggestion is to make sure that you are doing your 5 MF meals + your 1 lean & green. Make sure you are also getting enough calories. I would always try to get between 850 and 1000 calories a day. If I fell anywhere below that, I would not lose weight. Drink plenty of water also.

I hope these couple of tips helped. I wish you well on your journey.:thumbdown:

Thanks so much I will definetly take your advice....sometimes I do skip the night shake.

You're welcome.

Yes, make sure you get that 5th MF meal in each day. I would sometimes do a hot chocolate at night as a treat before bed. :thumbdown:
