[flab u less 45]

I am 5 weeks post op today. Since my two week post op I haven't Lossed. I am working out 6 days a week.i am eating so good. Like 90 to 100 grams protein.100 oz of Water a day. Was only eating 500 calories a day. Started today eating a little more. Like 800 to 1000. Does anyone have any suggestions on helping me. I am thinking just increase and keep giving 100%.I get my first fill on the 1st.hopefully then I will start losing. This weight will come off soon enough. Its got too.

Something I'm finding is that we have to often play with our diets to figure out what works best for our bodies. I was only eating 1000 calories a day and my weight loss started to slow. I increased my calories to 1100-1200 a day and lost over 20 pounds this past month. Obviously my body needed more calories to kick-start my metabolism into working.

Believe it or not, a slight increase in good carbs can help sometimes too. When I say good carbs, I mean whole grain. Nothing white, bleached, or with the word "enriched" in the description.

I'd try adjusting your diet a little, see what happens. It's all a learning process.
