Hi all, I am one month post op and have gone from 266lbs to 245lbs. Just transitioned to soft food 8 days ago and am at a complete stall. Only consuming 600 calories per day and getting almost all of my water in. Trying not to get frustrated as I have another 110 lbs to lose... Is this normal?

My weight loss has slowed. I find this weird as I'm waaay more active than I was. I eat incredibly small portions compared to what I was.. I'm a month out & I can eat pretty much all foods-I've done steak etc.. I'm just going with the flow. I feel better & my clothes are a lot bigger.. I've lost quite a bit in regards to sizes.

You have to remember- the average weight loss is 1-3 pounds a week. Since you lost so much weight in such a short amount of time, your body needs time to catch up.

It will also help to increase your calories to 1000 a day

Thanks everyone... This helps make me feel better

And I just realized I said wait loss instead of weight loss.... Perhaps a subconscious slip!!! Lol

my doctor has me between 600 and 800 for now. He will likely increase it when I got for my next visit next week, I think you're right though.

Thank you all for the support... I changed my habits and switched back to my old Protein powder with very few carbs and no sugar so I'm getting all of my protein in with fewer carbs and the scale noticed! Immediately dropped 4 lbs yay! Back on track

Are you getting all your protein?
