Stalling, Or Slowing At 3 Months Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?

Ok so the beginning of my surgery was amazing! Everything went according to plan, the day I went in for my surgery I weighed 299lbs, and as of this morning I weigh 243, so that is a total of 56lbs in 3 months. But I Have only lost 6lbs in the entire month of November. I hit my 50lb mark on Halloween (Lost a total of 27lbs in september, and 23lbs in october). And it seems like it has just been barely coming off. It makes me so upset because I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I eat approximately 1000-1400 cals a day depending on how much Protein I get in, and I get in the majority of my Water.

On top of all this, my period is 2 days late, and I have been super hormonal/emotional/gassy/nauseous and I keep getting bladder infections. It's really frustrating. My husband just got home at the beginning of November (he's military) and I was on bcp and antibiotics at the same time, so I know a pregnancy is faintly possible, but my husband and I struggled for 2 years to try to get pregnant, when I decided to get sleeved instead, so I have little hope of an easy pregnancy. I took an HPT today and it was definitely negative. And I have had 3 cycles since getting sleeved all exactly 29 days apart. So I guess I'm coming at you guys with 2 questions. Is a 3 month stall typical, and can irregular periods randomly set on 3 months post op?

I stalled at about 2 weeks but at 4 weeks, it kicked in again. I'm currently stalled but refuse to give up. I'm 11 weeks out tomorrow. My surgeon and dietitian have said that 800 is the MAX calories that I can have. I've lost almost 65lbs including 19 preop. I am stuggling to get protein in and am the process of restructuring my diet. I have a goal of 35lbs more by March.

As for the 'monthly' issue....I was on the pill and still went for 3 weeks at a time. I blame it on the changes my body is going through.

Good luck and stay positive!
