Need Advice from VSG friends

[Sheddie 22]

First and foremost, I am so thankful that I was able to have the VSG procedure. Secondly I have had a very good recovery period (few little issues but nothing major). Third, I have great spousal support and family/friend support. (Please know I am not bragging just giving background information. I have lost 36 pounds total (24 since surgery 5/29/13 and 12 pre-op liquid diet).

Here is my issue: I feel like I have stalled with my weightloss. I have read an article about the 3 week stall. I will be 5 weeks Wednesday. Wondering if my stall is now? I have just recently (last week - returned to my gym (healthplex through my local hospital) had great session talking with staff and setting up my routine). I will be starting back full time this week.

I am following my WL Clinics guidelines in regards to diet - getting in my Protein (on the lower end 60 grams) and Water (on the lower end 64 oz - sometimes little under) What can I do to start seeing a loss again? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Note - I weigh once a week on Tuesday's and occassionly on Monday morning to see if I am on track for Tuesday's official weigh in (that is day I record and measure and yes I have had inches lost). Am I just being impatient because I am so excited about the weight loss I have seen thus far? Thanks in advance for reading and letting me vent/whine. I know this is a hard journey!!!

It can absolutely be frustrating to not see the scale move. Always keep in mind that your body has to adjust at times and you won't lose for a while. You said you are at the lower end of 60gm of Protein and at times less than 64oz. of Water. My first suggestion would be to try and get these numbers up. Staying on your doctors plan, of course. Good luck!!

Just stay with the program, and you WILL lose weight. You are in this forever!

I'm sorry...all I saw was 24 pounds in a month! That's an average of 6 pounds a week. I don't see anything to worry about there.

Thank you all for your support!!! I have worked on increasing Water and Protein the last two days. Sticking to my program. Thanks again.
