It could be a few things. I had a 5 week stall once. I was doing everything right. sometimes it just happens. But your body needs a certain amount of carbs in order to put the Protein to good use in your body. Try adding a little bit of carb by doing some complex carbohydrates and see if that helps.

Good Luck! I know its hard, but this is all about learning a balanced diet. I think we all go through the phase where we are afraid to eat carbs. It gets easier.

I have had countless stalls. Like you I do not eat bread, Pasta, starches. I do include veggies with my dinner. I live on premier choc shakes, Quest Protein bars, Greek yogurt, nuts, meat and select veggies. 70 + grams of Protein a day is a must for me.

How far out are you? 23 grams is very low but also depends on how far out you are. How are you doing on Water?

I'm not. Drinking a lot. Trying. Some times I get almost 4 bottles but a lot of times it 2 bottles a day. Warm Water makes me sick and it takes almost 3 hours to finish 1 bottle. I have to put sugar free kool aid in it. I'm trying every thing. And reading on everything.

If your Protein is not over 60gms a day you will not lose.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
