9 weeks post op..help

[bncbabe2015 11]

Yesterday made me 9 weeks post op. For the last 3-4 weeks I have been stalled. I go up 2 pounds, down 3, up 1, down 2. I was 267 on surgery day(feb 1st). I am 5'8. Last Thursday I weighed 229 now this morning the scale showed 233. Do you think I am done losing? I'm getting in Protein and Water and 2-4 small meals/snacks throughout the day. Anyone else with stats around mine with some encouragement? I'm so scared I'm not going to lose anymore.

You are definitely not "done" losing at only 9 weeks out. Stalls happen. There will be many of them. You just have to wait them out. Stick to your plan. Get your Protein and Water in. Take your Vitamins. Move as much as possible. Based on the stats you listed, you lost 34 pounds in 9 weeks. That's a ridiculous amount of weight and your body is probably just trying to catch up and adapt.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight.

Embrace the Stall!

at my doctors office when I am weighed there is a ticker that states how many calories you need to maintain that weight. If you are eating less calories than needed, and you move your body the weight will come off. some of us just seem to have more stubborn fat. Keep up your Protein and fluids and take one day at a time.
