Going 6 weeks Post Op- plateauing?

[ktweet168 0]

I have lost 34 pounds which includes 10 lbs lost during my pre-op liquid diet . I have been tracking my calorie intake, walk more than mile uphill each day. I feel like I'm plateauing- am I done? Very worried...

Me too.......,! I had my surgery the first week of July. Lost 10 kilos, but scales haven't moved for 3 and half weeks now. So depressing especially when you're trying really hard.

No you are not done your body is just adjusting to the new weight loss. I am 5 months out and have lost a total of 80 lbs. since I began the entire process. Give it some time you still have to work at it, it will not all fall off over night but it eventually will come off. The Protein is key when I added to many carbs I stalled, when I eat things I shouldn't I stall.

I have hit a few stalls along the way..... this last one was a long stall... it is true your body needs time to adjust. When I hit my stalls nothing had changed. My calorie intake was the same... what I was eating was the same. It is just a adjustment time for your body. With every stall I would lose inches. It helps to pay attention to that as well. Best Wishes!

OMG.... Maybe that's my problem! I do eat my Protein first, but I still can't part with my carbs (rice crackers....not bread) I know this is a 'mental' thing and I need to get over it, but if I don't eat some kind of carb, I just don't feel 'right'. How and when will I learn that I DON'T need them?

I also don't understand how some people after surgery ........ Months after surgery, are consuming very little calories (600-800 calories). I believe I'm consuming 900-1000 easily!

Carbs are something you have to go without to get over. Each day you will feel that you need them less and less. Good carbs in limitations can be a good curve.

Stalls are part of the game though. I couldn't count all my stalls. Some only a week long, some several weeks long. I just came off a 2 week stall and lost almost 5lbs over night. I am now 11 lbs from losing 100 lbs in under 6 months.

Keep at it. Even when you don't see the scale move keep track of body measurements and appearance. I guarantee you will notice beneficial changes!
