2 months post op NO WEIGHT LOSS

[areli 14]

I'm on my 2 months post op and I haven't lost any lbs for 2 weeks, I'm staying on 800 calories a day, would I need to increase? I got my first fill 2 weeks ago but it seems like my stomach is still constantly growling. Any suggestions?

I was told to eat 1400 calories and I didnt lose anything until my calories were up around 1200. Maybe that would help.

Plateaus are normal, however my experience is that I have to eat more to lose. I usually keep my calories at about 1200 a day. If I eat less than 1000 calories my weight loss slows.

Thank you guys I'm going to increase it and see how that goes ???€

You might just increase by increments of 100 calories until it works for you. I stay at 900-1000 and lose consistently. At 1100-1200, I wouldn't always lose a pound a week. And get your Protein in. That also makes a difference for me.

Good luck.

Tara, are you also exercising daily? What's your daily intake of Protein?

Have you talked to your doctor or does your clinic have nutritionist on staff you can speak with? Were you give a Post-op meal plan to follow?

My doctor recommend 1,200 calories for women and 1,400 for men per day.

Tara' date=' are you also exercising daily? What's your daily intake of Protein?[/quote']

Protein is over 60g daily. And no I don't exercise daily. I do walk and ride a stationary bike, but not daily. I still have over 60 lbs to lose so I know eventually I'm going to have to commit to a real exercise program.
