8 week post op

[Ley 13]

I eat maybe 1/4 of what i ate and im not losing weight. I lost 15 lbs, thats it. True, i was 182 lbs, im now 167, my body has changed for the better as i hve lost inches. But i need the scale to go down. 167 cannot b my ideal weight, the chart says 140 being 5'3", even at 150 i will b happy n my health problems will subside. I walk my dogs everyday. But not rigid exercise yet, do not hve the energy! Tired w so little food. Help.

Hi, same here. I'm almost 3 weeks post op and I lost 16 pounds the first week, and nothing after that. I'm taking care of my Proteins and fluids but I don't really eat a lot. It is really weird that my body refused to loose weight. Any recommendations to beat the stall?

Try checking your measurements. You could be losing inches if not pounds and that is even better in my opinion. Stick your plan and results will come.

Me too! I am also 8 weeks out, and stalled. I exercise daily, get my 64 oz of Water and I haven't even cheated once! It's kinda frustrating, I wanna see that scale move!

How much Protein are you getting in? Maybe try upping your Protein and switch up your exercise a bit. Stalls happen..that's usually when you'll see the inches dropping.

I am 7 weeks out and I lost 30 lbs the 1st 3 weeks and nothing the past 4 weeks. It is very frustrating. I eat very little and have some indigestion after every meal. I take nexium for acid reflux. I don't exercise and I don't think I get the 48-64 oz of Water daily. However, the doctor tells me not to weigh in every day and try not to be a scale watcher. However I don't think I'd mind as much if occasionally I saw some weight loss. Bigelowrock

You may not be eating enough. How many grams of Protein are you getting?

You definitely need more fluids.

Only 19 lbs - that's not bad. Be sure you are getting enough protein and water.

I'm also tired all the time.

Do you have sleep apnea?

I have to have a re-titration test to see if I still need my mask. If I do, find out what my settings should be.

Have you had blood work done recently? If not have your dr check your Vitamin levels and hormones.

What is your min calorie intake? Make sure you eat enough to reach that and

Track your Protein, I know it's hard to hit those numbers sometimes but we have to. I struggle with this a lot. I have a texture/taste issue with most meat. I have however found a new desire to eat shrimp and I love cheese. I know some frown upon it but if you have to supplement with shakes its better to do that and hit your target than the alternative.

Keep it going, you got this
