No weight loss for five months

[Guest guest]

I stopped loosing weight at 7 months out, and have not lost any

additional weight the past 4 months. When I was sick with pneumonia

at the 7th month, I had lost a little over 100 pounds, then when I

got well a month later I gained about 5 pounds back, and have not

changed weight since then.

I thought the weight was supposed to continue to be lost for about

18 months; did anyone else stop loosing at 7 months? Has anyone's

plateau lasted 4 months? I had my first plateau at 6 weeks out and

this lasted until week 12...after this I had more plateaus, but none

lasted over 6 weeks like the first had...until this 4 month Plateau

started...what's up with this? Anyone have any insight into why I am

experienceing these so often?

Any suggestions for jump-starting the process towards loosing weight

again?

Guess I should give a time-line...Surgery 4/28/03 with gastrectomy +

Open Roux-en-Y...no weight loss since November 2003. Lynda Nurenberg
