Hi there!

Congratulation on getting through surgery. You are likely in the midst of the 3 week stall which is very common.

It would be helpful to know your current diet, Water intake and Protein intake. Are you getting a minimum of 64 oz. of fluids every day? That is the number 1 most important factor post surgery following by ensuring you are getting the appropriate Protein. You should have 1 gram for every inch you are tall.

If you are hitting both of those goals every day and sticking to a well balanced high protein lower carb (veggies & Fruit) you will lose weight. It is nearly impossible not to.

Most people do not understand the importance of Water and protein until they get stuck and then they start hitting those goals and the weight comes off.

Best of luck to you.

yes, what she said...I went through MANY stalls; in fact, I usually would only lose 10 lbs at a stretch before having a long stall. Don't worry about the stalls. I think some of our bodies just need more adjustment time along the way. It is hard not to want to compare your weight loss with others who had surgery around the same time, but each person's body is different. The best I can do is assure you that if you follow the plan - get plenty of fluids, Protein and slowly work up the amount of exercise you can accomplish - that you will have awesome results. Hang in there and good luck!
