If you're working out you could be gaining muscle mass, which is heavier, and retaining some Water. Are you losing inches at all? That might be a better indicator.

The scale can be so aggravating! Stalls happen, whether you've already had the sleeve surgery or not. I had a THREE WEEK stall just weeks after my sleeve surgery. It was so disheartening because I was eating 650 cals a day, following all the rules and the scale just wouldn't budge.

You can try changing things up a bit - changing your exercise routine, increasing Protein even more, increasing Water... even adding another 100 calories to your daily intake may shake things up. BUT, I think it is far better advice to just keep following your diet plan "rules" and trust that the scale will eventually start moving.

Anyone that thinks weight loss is as simple as a calories in/calories out formula has never been significantly overweight and dieted! There are SO many variables that can make an impact on the scale - Water weight, hormones, muscles, stress, etc. If you stick to your plan, at least you know you are doing everything you can.

It'll move. I promise! Hang in there. Your body might just be in a bit of a shock (or state of stress) due to the change to the liquid diet. As a result, you may have a lot of water weight. It'll pass... literally lol! You'll probably drop a couple of pounds overnight.

(((HUGS))) I seriously think the pre-op diet is the hardest part of the journey. You are doing great! Good luck!!
