No longer losing!

[Scisue 3]

I am 3 months post op and I haven’t lost an ounce in 3 weeks! What’s happening?

you are in a stall more than likely you will have more of them as well

How many calories per day have you consumed on average over the past 7 days?

if you're following your surgeon's program faithfully, then you're just in a stall. I had some that lasted that long.

May need to increase Protein

As described to me when I went through a stall, your body is adjusting to your new caloric intake. Once it figures it out you'll start to lose more weight.

From reading all the posts here, it seems like three months is famous for a stall. Keep your faith in the process, maybe increase your exercise a tad, and it will break. How often are you weighing? Especially if you are stalled you probably should only weigh weekly instead of daily so you don't get frustrated daily.

Hang in there!

Also keep in mind that just because the scale isn't showing a change, it doesn't mean that you aren't still losing inches. Read about fatty liver, and you'll find that there are periods when you will think you aren't losing weight, but you are losing fat from your liver. Once the liver is healthy again, the metabolism gets a boost. It was very reassuring to me to know that as long as I am remaining consistent, I will be rewarded in the end. Stay diligent and compliant. Keep carbs low, drink your Water, get lots of quality sleep and manage stress. Those that the things that are far more likely to throw you off than your increase of calories at this point.

I haven’t been counting calories. But sure it is less than 800/ day

Stalls are normal but to help break them exercise and try to get 100 oz of Water a day and decrease carbs to 30 or below and that should help break your stall. And up your Protein to 90-100 gr.
