weight loss plateau

[dominique]

Hello,

I am four months out from RNY gastric bypass. I have lost 60 lbs and I am noticing the weight is slowing down. It is discouraging. I have heard that this happens. When does it pick back up again? I exercise 3-4 times a week and I am eating correctly. Anyone in a similar situation or have words of wisdom?

Hi Dominique, Welcome. You are doing great, dont look at it as your weight loss slowing down, you are doing everything right, you are more than likely gaining muscle mass which is replacing the fat at an equal rate, the good news is muscle burns calories more efficiantly and helps to speed up your matabalism. Some of the things that may help you feel better is to keep measuments so when you plateau along the way you can still see how you are losing inches, also start trying on smaller size cloths but don't buy to much yet because you will shrink out of them soon enough, it work it really does, so keep doing what your doing.
