Try increasing your Protein and lower your carbs and increase your Water

Are you a vegetarian? This may be a culprit due to the high carb intake you would have.

Ok first off, what is 'normal'? There is no normal when it comes to weight loss. Everyone is different. Secondly, you have lost an average of 3.9 pounds a week since surgery! HELLO! That is not slow. It may feel like it to you because you can't say I've lost 150lbs in six weeks but 4 pounds a week is not slow by any means!

Take you time. Slower is better for skin issues in the long run anyway. You are doing fine. Keep doing what you're doing and it will all come off eventually!

What suzthebrit said. :) Just about everyone's experience is normal. :) I had a three week stall that started at week three. Just keep following your doctor's food plan and the weight WILL come off. I know that, for me, it was hard to comprehend just how "easy" losing weight this way really is. Easy? Well, once you know what you can eat, it really isn't hard - at least compared to dieting alone. :)

Yes, it's normal! Try measuring your waist and hips, etc. I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Yes, I am pleasantly surprised by inch loss. Thanks.

Are you vegan? If not, Greek yogurt has a lot of Protein.< /p>

      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! 😞
