Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Hi, I have a plateau that just wont quit! I had my surgery on June 11th and I lost 25 pounds within the first 2 weeks. I am a female and was 290 and went down to 265. I HAVE NOT LOST AN OUNCE SINCE! That's a five week plateau!! What gives?? I eat next to nothing and the foods I do eat aren't really high in fat and calories. The scale just hovers at around 265. I don't exercise a great deal daily but I live an active single girls' social life. I do lots of social things nightly and work all day long so I am constantly on the move. What gets me is that when I would eat this little amount of food pre-op, I WOULD lose weight. Now as a post-op, I plateau! Everybody says " Don't worry, you'll lose! " . I am beginning to think I am the only one this surgery won't work for. Can anybody help me out with this? > Any people out there with early plateaus please write karen > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Christie - It sounds like you may not be eating enough and your body is hoarding what few calories you are giving it. I have found that the more I eat, the more I lose. Why don't you give it a try for a couple weeks -- eat as much as you can, concentrating on protein, but whatever you want, especially fats and see if that plateau doesn't break.
