Harder To Lose Post-Op: Anyone Else?

[LumpySpacePrincess 594]

My weight loss has slowed down considerably since surgery. I am a little over two months out, and the weight is just barely creeping off. I actually lost weight faster and more consistently on my pre-op diet than I do now.

There are days when I feel like this wasn't worth it. Does anyone else feel like this?

(I know there are those who will ask, so yes I am eating within my NUT's guidelines, eating only 11% carbs from low-glycemic veg, getting in about 80g of Protein per day from solid foods, and about 20g of fat. I exercise hard 7 days per week.)

It has got to be frustrating to be doing what you are instructed and it doesn't seem to be going as smooth. You may actually be taking in too few calories. If you're working out every day, you just might need more. Have you talked to your NUT recently? At 6 weeks out I was taking in about 800 calories a day and was satisfied, but losing very slowly. My Nut upped it to 1000 and it was steady until about 9 or 10 months out and slowed a bit. But I knew to expect the last bit to be the hardest to lose. Good luck..

I just read a post Fiddleman responded too, with the same thought, but explained much better.
