The Dreaded Stall

[NLWC.Christa 4]

I'll be 4 weeks post-op tomorrow. At 15 days post-op, I had lost 25 lbs. Then I was hospitalized for nausea and dehydration. I was released on a soft/mushy diet and when I went back to work on post op day 20, I had gained 3 lbs (I am well aware that is because of being properly hydrated, finally) since then (August 30) I'm sitting at 22-23 lbs lost. Just hanging out, apparently.

Here are my food diaries since August 30, have a look and see if anything jumps out at you. I'd love to know what you all were eating at 3-4 weeks post-op and if you have any suggestions.

My dietician is concerned about my Protein intake, so for the last few days I've really been working to get in at least 60 grams. 2-3 ounces is really about all I can do at this time.

Anyway, if you have any input/insight, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

Your calories seem extremely low...300-500. I am also 4 weeks out tomorrow, I am getting around 70 grams of Protein now and eating around 700-900 calories. It looks like you might need more dense Proteins like chicken breasts, ham, turkey or some lean ground beef.

I am new at this sleeve crap so I am only guessing. As far as I can tell getting too few calories stalls the weight loss process. I think I actually need to be closer to a 1000 a day. The information my nut gave me is that at 6 weeks I should be on a 1200 calorie daily diet with me getting 2x more Protein then carbs if possible.
