6 weeks post op and already...

[Wanna-Be-Healthy 46]

I'm a little sad. I'm 6 week post op and already on a plateau for the past 2 weeks (so since week 4).

I upped my calories from 900 to 1200 in the last few days because of the whole starvation mode - I recall reading too low cals could be the reason. I don't know how convinced I am about that though because to lose a pound it's calories in vs calories out and I'm expending way more that I take in. I religiously log every bite on MFP too so I know exactly what I'm eating and how much.

I'm fully healed so I thought I'd be at lighter weight by now.

If you're doing everything you're supposed to be doing (sounds like you are), then the weight WILL come off. Just hang in there. Though it's not showing up on the scale (yet), your body IS losing. One day you'll step on and be pleasantly surprised....

I don't know how often you weigh yourself, but if you're on the scale daily, my suggestion is to stop doing it. Try and focus more on the way you feel, and do the scale once every week or two.

Good luck - you WILL get there

Don't stress, it'll happen. I've been banded 15 months and am really only seeing my first explosion of big losses in the last few months.
