Sticky Weight

Entry posted by JessicaGeiger ·

From the start of my pre-op diet until 11 days after surgery I was losing roughly 1-2 pounds a day. Then nothing would come off. I was getting extremely frustrated and confused. I thought weight loss was a simple mathematical equation. I as taking in roughly 500 calories a day, but the weight was just stuck! Today I woke up and finally, I lost another pound! WooHoo

Maybe you are taking in too little calories? Talk to your doc or nut about this but at this point....500 calories may be too little. Good luck.

I agree with Spaness...500 calories is pretty low and your body may be in starvation mode. I eat around 1,000-1,100 calories a day and I've dropped 53 lbs in four months. Talk to your nutritionist but I bet you need to increase your intake..

Good luck!

The weight started to come off again. Thank you guys for your insight. I was on the soft food diet and it was really hard to get in anymore than 500 calories eating vegetables and fruit. Since this post I have lost 4.6 pounds, one pound the day I posted this, 1.4 the next and 2.2 today!
