Question:
I am getting close to goal around 10-15 lbs and have stopped losing (over a month now

I want to reach my goal weight! Any suggestions? I exercise 7 days a week, drink water, etc. I also try to get my protein in. I am 13 months post op. Am I done losing?    — Lori K. (posted on December 21, 2002)

Hey! Our surgery days were only 1 day apart! So I am also 13 months post-op. I lost a couple pounds in the beginning of the last month, but none since then. Although I have reached a normal BMI and normal body fat%, I would still like to lose 10 more lbs. I have heard that the window of opportunity is 12-18 months, so I hope it wasn't 12 months for me. I always heard that it is easier to get to goal as a lightweight, but it seems as if the loss slows down so early on, that it is actually more difficult. I don't know, but I sure hope the scale starts moving again for both of us and I hope you have some encouraging posts to your question.
