However, I have fallen into a slump. I only step on the scale 1 time a week, and that darn this doesnt want to move. I have been very busy with the flooding season at hand, so I have not been able to stick to my exercise plan like normal, but I have had days with lots of sandbagging.

I can say that I have not been as stern with my self and my diet. But I have not been eating crap either.

I am starting to get down on myself and loose ambition between the 2 (hairloss and the NONE moving scale). It cant stay this way or I will not reach my goals. I was doing so well at first and now I am having issues.

I am starting to fear that I will not loose any more weight and I am only at 4 months post-op. and down 66 pounds. They say the prime time to loose is the first 12-18 months.

I am hiking up the protein(even though it was ok amounts daily) and going to crack the whip on my foods. Please tell me that I will start to loose more and that I have not messed things up and have reached a final weight.

So, don't stress (that's not good for weight loss either). Every body is different. don't worry about how much everyone else is losing because they all have different goals. Someone who needs to lose 300 lbs will lose faster than someone that needs to lose 100 lbs. If you're not gaining, don't worry...it's normal.

When you see your doc, let him know your concern and he'll let you know if anything needs to be tweaked. I imagine that as long as your labs are good and your calories are low and you're not gaining, he'll probably reassure you that all is well.

Hang in there and let us know how your doc visit goes!! (((HUGS))
