I am 7 wks post-op and I am not losing weight. I have only lost 1 lb in the past 3 wks and before that just 1 lb in the previous 3 wks. I weigh and measure everything I eat and most days my caloric intake is less then 1100 calories. Has anyone else experienced this? I have spoken with the dietician about this and she said that it was common, but it is very frustrating. I think part of the problem is that I am unable to do aerobic exercises due to knee problems, but I am doing upper-body exercises with 2 & 4 lb hand-weights I have lost 34 lbs since surgery and would like to lose at least 50 more pounds. Can anyone suggest a way to get the weight-loss to start-up again? I am 67, 4' 11", weigh 180 lbs. Thanks, FrankieMark
