I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I will be 7 months out on 3/10. I have only lost 35 pounds since surgery. I get in all my protein and all of my liquid. I am working out both cardio and weight training and I am not seeing any movement on the scale. My surgery weight was 259.6 my current weight is 224.2. I take my vitamins. I get in my 10k steps... Can someone tell me where and how I need to make adjustments.... This is getting frustrating and quite discouraging because I am truly working for the body I want.

Ah! I thought I would stop losing at 18 mos; hence the panic... I'm 7 mos out and no where near my goal. Thanks for the info. -

BigViffer - I'm having 60 grams of Protein a day as was recommended by my surgeon. It's really of hard to eat so I drink a shake in the morning which is 30 grams. At lunch, I normally eat 2 oz of tuna or chicken. And I do the same for dinner. I eat at my desk because I do 45 minute brisk walk around the campus where I work and then I run 2 miles when I get off. I eat about 800-1000 calories a day... which includes my shake... hunger is not an issue for me. I do snack on apples and Peanut Butter for my sweet tooth addiction. But even that is the pre-portioned peanut butter. So I will remove peanut butter. Not really sure about any of the other Macros. I only lift 2 times a week... because of a shoulder injury. Airstream88 - I am weighting 30 mins. after I eat to drink anything....but this is the first time I'm hearing the before part of the rule... I can certainly incorporate this. The nutritionist suggested that she didn't think I was eating enough but in the post surgery book says, 800-1000 is what it says I should be eating. So, this is really confusing me. Plus, how would I even try to consume more with so much restriction. I can see that the inches are leaving from the way my clothes are fitting but I don't understand why the scale isn't moving more. I will toss the peanut butter and add an additional shake. I can also try the 30 minutes before thing too... that will be the most difficult. -
So I'm stuck at 23 pounds loss since surgery. I'll be 2 months out on tomorrow. I'm envious.
