Why am i not losing weight?

[cubbies76 132]

I had surgery on October 2' date=' and at first I lost 10 prep and then another 14 post op but then nothing...... Can't understand how I can be only eating 700 calories a day and nothing is coming off!!!! I am back to work, working on improving my Protein intake which was only 30 or so a day up to 60 yesterday and working on drinking more Water but I am stuck at this weight. It's really discouraging after all I have went through. Everyone tells me to be patient but after over two weeks of nothing lost, how am I to be patient???? Any thoughts???? [/quote']ButterTheBean has a good link in the signature of his posts that explains why stalls happen. The short answer is we start to retain water, but in a good way and for good reasons. I too am 2 weeks post op and have been in a stall for a few days. I knew this would happen going in and I've done very well over the past 4 weeks. I look at what I've done in the 28 days since I started my preop and I couldn't be happier. So try to look at how much weight you have lost over a longer time frame than the past few days and I think you'll be happy with it. And know the weight loss will start back up because it will.
