Frustrated and upset

[Boopthistoo 2]

I am just about at my 12 week mark, surgery was July 28th. I have been In a stall for the past 2 weeks and now I have gained back 5 pounds! I eat almost nothing and exercise (walk) 3-4 days a week on top of working 2 jobs! I know it's gonna take time but I am losing faith in this.

Hugs ... I've heard that the surgery is sometimes your body makes you stall because adjusting to the changes that you've made. Maybe try to reach out to your surgeons office to see what you can do to help get your body past the stall.

If your eating almost nothing that could be the problem. Up your intake of Protein and veggies to 1000 calories. your body will protect itself from starvation and if you are only eating a little it will respond that way.

If you find it difficult to eat that much eat smaller meals. Trust me you do not want to get hypoglycemia which is common for WLS patients.

The other thing: stay away from the scale. It is not about numbers. It is about health and well being. The scale is for weighing fish...okay!

You will jump start your losing if you up your caloric intake and staying on the program!

Ditto! Eat more. Drink more. And STAY OFF THE SCALE!

I had the same problem. Evidently it comes with the surgery. It's like a silent partner :-/. Anyway - EVERYONE in here consoled me and helped me get through it. And you will too . Good luck ????
