Hi! I have been stuck at the same weight for two weeks. I had my last pause in loss when I was pre menstrual and am at this time as well. have anything to do with it? I need a good week of loss as I am feeling a little down. Any advice? Something to change up? I have lost around 46 lbs in 10 weeks and was happy with that but I want that 50 so bad!!! Give me some feedback please...feeling a little down :(

Sometimes eating a high calorie meal will trick your body into something funky. It's happened to me. I had been stuck for a few wks. Then I said heck with it and ate some Pasta from market place and did my same gym routine and kicked some lbs the next day. I doubt that's probably the best way but it works

I use the My fitness pal app to track everything that goes in my mouth. It can be very enlightening. If your calories are too low sometimes increasing them by 100-200 helps. Also, changing up your exercise can help. I also find drinking more fluids helps.

If you can use the my fitness pal app. It's free and sometimes it can be an eye opener.

Thanks! I will start using it for sure :) Do you know how many calories one should have approximately. The Fluid thing makes sense as I struggled the last two weeks getting enough in. I am heading to my fitness pal now to sign up. Thanks again!

I'm sure every surgeon has their own guidelines but mine says 800-900cal a day. Trying to make 60-80grams Protein and 64oz Water. Hope this helps.

When I saw the dietician 3 weeks post op, I asked about calories too. She said about 800-1000. I'm 9 weeks out and am just making it to a little over 700. I eat 6 small meals no more then 4 oz per meal. This is what my surgeon recommends. Also 60-80 gm of Protein per day. I still do 1 Protein Shake per day. I'm rarely hungry and my energy is good.
