muniraali 0 Posted April 2, 2016 I'm still at a stall. I had my surgery March 2. I lost 8 lbs when I went to my doctor for 1 week check up. However, since then I haven't lost anything. I'm getting in 70g of Protein eating less than 600 calories, working out, drinking my 64oz liquid, taking my Vitamin. Doing everything I'm suppose to do. But nothing havent lost anything for the last three and 1/2 weeks. Can someone give me some advice. Today is my one month since my surgery and I feel defeated.

KindaFamiliar 3,867 Posted April 2, 2016 Speak to a nutritionist... "Less than 600 cal" is likely not enough if you're "working out".. You may actually be starving yourself... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xochtlem 54 Posted April 2, 2016 Yeah, you may want to try bumping up the calories if you're working out. Because if you're eating only 600 but burning 300 working out, that's a net of only 300 calories for the day. At least, that's how I understand it works. Are you tracking in MyFitnessPal?

animallover1247 249 Posted April 2, 2016 I agree with the above response only because at my one month post op, even though my weight loss was good, the nurse asked me how many calories I was eating. When I told her about 500-600, she told me that was not enough. She told me if I don't increase my calories, I will hit a stall. However, I had already stalled for two weeks starting at week 2.5 and it lasted two weeks (this is common anyway). She told me to eat between 800-1000 calories. However, you may want to go ahead and check with your nutritionist just to make sure what your caloric intake should be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2goldengirl 2,076 Posted April 2, 2016 I'm at just over 3 weeks out, and I'm supposed to be getting in 600-800 calories without being cleared for working out yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
