I feel like I can eat more without the pains and that is worrying me. Before I couldn't bare it. some foods more than others full me up faster. the scale has not moved in a month and even though I have lost 70 pounds since surgery back in January. Should I worry. Any suggestions are welcomed

i am 4 months out and i am feeling the same. DOnt stress about it, our tummys are just becoming fully healed now. Just make sure you are filling it up with good protein and not a lot of carbs and slider foods. I was stalled for a month. I raised my calories from 600 to around 850 and raised my carbs as well and i felt better and the scaled stared moving again. I also lost 4 inches while the scale didnt move so take your measurements maybe you are losing inches. Congrats on your great weight loss!

Yes I have realized that I am able to fit into a smaller size clothing even though I lost no weight. And when I evaluate my body I notice difference in different areas. So maybe that is the case thank you

I know upping calories can work- seen anecdotal evidence of it everywhere, but I'd love to know HOW it does! Anyone know?

Chigga77- you are doing great! 70lbs is brilliant. Well done! keep plodding on....I'm sure it will start coming off some more.

Yeap in the last week I only lost three pounds but in the body analyzer showed I lost 10 pounds of FAT and gained the muscle mass. I will take a gain in weight if it is muscle mass gain and with a FAT loss

I am working out Zumba kick boxing and step class along with my reg training. I do feel a lot healthier and energetic I was able to walk up three flights of stairs without feeling like I was going to die. That is an huge accomplishment for me. Thank you guys I appreciate all the advice and encouragement

I don't know all the technical ways to say how it works, but I know a lot depends on your activity level. The more you exercise & burn, you need to eat more to replenish and help your body. If you have too much of a deficit between what you burn in a day and what you consume, your body goes into starvation mode and hangs on to every little bit it has. Therefore, sometimes you need to change up your calories by eating a little more and/or eating different things at different times of the day in order to restart your losing. I haven't had surgery yet, but know this just from many other diets & programs I've done in the past.
