Do you have your measurements from before? Perhaps you are losing inches instead of pounds.

Low fat is not very smart. Fat has the lowest RQ rating out of the 3 food types (Carbs, Protein, and Fat), which means it takes more energy to break down.

Plus, fats are very necessary for proper brain function.

I suggest calling you NUT and see what they recommend. Also are you increasing you exercise level ad you are feeling better? Hang in there.

Yep.. check with your NUT give her a list of the pureed foods your eating? Are you using Protein Shakes? How's your Fluid intake.. What's an example day for you?

You're in the classic 3 weeks stall search stall on the board and you will see, you're in good company. Happens to us all. Nothing to worry about. Just keep on keeping on.

My first stall started at 4 weeks. The scale didn't change for two weeks. This week the stall broke and I am averaging a loss of a pound a day. I started at 197 and today I weigh 175. Surgery date 8/5.

From reading here, I knew a stall was inevitable so I kept on keeping on. I changed nothing during the two weeks. Then on Monday the scale began moving again.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
