So I'm pretty bent out of shape right now. I get my Protein in, I get my fluids in, i work out and I have only lost 55 lbs. I'm a bit over 3 months out and stuck at this weight. Someone please suggest something. I feel like a complete failure. 3 weeks at this weight an I don't see an end in sight. I've hit plateaus before but not quite like this

Are you counting your calories? I thought I was within the recommended number, until I started counting. My nutritionist says 800 max for a woman.

Shoot you are doing great at 3 months out. 55lbs is awesome. I'm 3 months out and have lost 45lbs. When I get stuck at a weight, I notice I lose inches. Your body is just adjusting and you will start dropping again. Can you get to a pool? If so and you can swim, go tread Water for an hour or so. I tread water daily for about an hour to 75 minutes and burn about 1600 calories or more. I notice im dropping a pound a day or every other day. I also keep my calories below 800 and I make sure I get all my fluids in. Don't stress it too much though. Your body is most likely just trying to catch up. 55lbs is an awesome loss. Way to go.

My NUT recommends adding 100 calories for a week when you hit a stall. If it doesnt work and you're still stalled, add another 100.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
