My body responds very well to dieting. I have always been able to lose weight with a high Protein low carb diet but I have not been able to lose anything in over a week. My diet consists of eggs, tuna, and salmon. All very high protein. I am not snacking in between with sugary foods of anything. HELP! I lost weight with this for the first few weeks but not in the last week. Any suggestions as to why? Thanks

Sometimes our bodies are just like this, with no explanation.

Do you know how many calories you are taking in? You will not continue to lose on high Protein, low carb if your calories are too high.

A 6 oz steak is more calories than a 4 oz steak, etc.

Using mayo with the tuna? Something high in salt? Time of the month?These are the kinds of things that have an impact on a stalled scale.

I'm having the same problem. I haven't lost in 4 weeks!! BUT..... I have been exercising like a crazy woman. I go to the gym 4 -5 times a week, and work out hard. My clothes and bras continue to get looser, so I have to assume that I'm losing inches instead of pounds, because I'm developing muscle. I haven't exercised in years, so my muscles were probably near atrophy!!!! LOL. But I feel so much better. I have so much more energy, I'm in good moods most of the time and I'm sleeping like a baby.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
