Losing inches not weight

[DelawareWoman 37]

I’m 5 weeks post op. 3/11 sleeve. I’ve lost maybe 14 pounds. I’ve lost 5 inches in my waist. I lost 10 the week after surgery. Gained back 5. Relost that plus a few more. I haven’t lost anything in a week. I eat about 600 calories a day. 80+ Protein 10 carbs max. I don’t go to the gym but I do work two jobs. I only get about 6000 - 7000 steps a day on average. I poo MAYBE once a week. I’m not sure what to do. Do I up my calories to 800? I go to the dr on 4/24. I’ve got a lot of questions for him. I was losing more before surgery. Help!

You're at the Week 4 stall. It's very common for everyone to hit a stall at that point. The fact that you've lost inches is great. Stay off the scale for a couple of weeks and it'll start moving downward again.

The stalls are normal. Everybody goes through them. Just keep working on what you are doing and your body will catch up!

Like the others said, the stall is normal. It sounds like you are doing exactly what you should be doing, so don't get discouraged! It will start moving again! Best of luck. x
