My name is Marsha, I had a gastic sleeve surgery on Oct.8,2012. My starting weight was 222 lbs. My current weight is 199 lbs The problem is I am at a stand still. I have went back and forth from 199 to 198 then back to199 for the past six days. It just seems like I havent lost very much. Any suggestions?:frown:

    Hello, it is nice to meet you. As for losing weight, I would suggest adding in some activity if you do not already exercise. I don't know how much you can eat with the gastric band, but try to keep your calories below your BMR and to focus on a diet of whole grains, fruits, veggies, and lean protein. Also, water weight and a woman's cycle can mask weight loss and create unexpected fluctuations.
