I have been putting fruit twice a day into my Protein smoothies. Is this my stall problem? i'm tracking caleries.

I want to learn more about long stalls. 3 months! I'm 6 months out, 43 pounds lost & have been same weight for 3 months. (age 51, just starting menopause & doctor said that's not affecting stall) Have shrunk many sizes. (very happy) CONCERN IS: I'm afraid that I wont loose anymore. Eating 1200 caleries a day, increasing exercise with walking & stationary bike. Doctor said 3 month stall was okay for me because he could see the visible changes. He said I gained muscle because I had such an inactive life style prior to surgery in Dec. 2013. Doctor stated to continue with 1200 calaries a day & exercise and I will start to loose 30 or 40 lbs in no time. 2 more weeks went by since appt. and I added more walking with swimming & weight is the same. Even if I cut calaries to be less & inrease Protein. no changes in weight. Do I trust doctor or start eating less? Im very angry because I dont want to eat less. Trying to be brave & keep increasing exercise. Not much positive reinforcement & would love to find a support group.

3 months out & nervous! I lost 5 pounds first monthb1/2 & nothing for a month 1/2. I have a follow-up with surgeon, whom I haven't seen in 2 months and I am embarrassed about the stall. I have been following the program, no cheating and feel good, but is the doctor going to think I'm failing? The inches are coming off, but a month & 1/2 stall seems longer than most. Does his surgery just suddenly stop working so soon.

I am 2 1/2 months out. I stopped all Type II Meds the day of surgery on my own because blood sugar tested low. I just had an A1C blood test and the results were shocking to me at 12.(should be 7 or lower) I have never felt better without the meds in years. I'm hardly eating and have increased exercise, how can my blood sugar be so high? I am crushed, as I don't want to go back on those awful meds with all the pains, etc. I have lost about 38 pounds so far. What do you think would happen if I skip the meds? I have no signs of dehydration or vision issues.. I don't want to go back to the doctor for Type II Meds anymore. I am trying to better myself why is this still happening? This has floored me, what more can I do. I'm also on a 1 month stall. I'm struggling each day to stay positive by reading this forum. So tired of the struggle.
