I'm 4 months out and I've lost about 70 lbs. I always get between 65-70 grams of protein per day. I get in at least 64 ounces of fluids, I workout with a trainer 3 times per week, I log my food on My Fitness Pal, and I usually have around 1100 calories per day, I also wear a Fitbit to keep track of my activity, and I can not seem to get below 210 lbs. Are my calories to high? I can not figure out what to do. I'm so down hearted and feel as though I may fail at this, too. Comments and suggestions are welcomed.

I am 5 months post op and just got out of my slump. I was 176 for like three weeks, I increased my intensity of my workouts from speed walking to jogging now. Got my heartrate pumping and I got myself out of the slump, I workout 6 days a week. My starting weight was 214 and I am 173, so a total of 41 lbs. I am a bit dissapointed in the numbers too. I thought by 5 months post op I would be at least at 150.

my nutrionist said I should stay at 800 cal a day until i get to my goal weight then I can go up to 1000 to maintain. I would ask your Dr love and see what s/he says

I doubt that 1100 calories a day is too high with everything else you're doing. Sounds like a stall. How long have you been at 210?

I think it sounds like your doing great! You seem very determined. I need to get in that mind set. I am 2 weeks post op and have lost 14lbs. Buy havent seen budge in the scale for a few days. I'm getting nervous I'll be at a stall and I'm just beginning!

You didn't mention how long this stall has been. My nutritionist said it's not a stall until you've hit 3 weeks. Otherwise keep doing what you're doing if you're following your docs plan and the scale will move.

I have been fluctuating between 213 and 210 for the last 2+ weeks. After being a failure at every diet, I am afraid I will fail at this, too. Just nervous I guess. Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond. I love this group!

What does your doc say about calorie intake?

I have noticed that I stall on the scale, but inches are coming off. I have been in a stall for the past week, but I was able to comfortably fit into some new jeans that were tight a week ago. Maybe have your trainer measure and try not to get wrapped up in the scale.

Hang in there. You will lose more weight in no time.
