What about your activity level? How active were you before the sleeve? What is your calorie intake on average a day?

The reason I ask these questions:

If you're not active enough, that could be a reason why the stagnation occurred.

If you were not active before the sleeve and are now becoming active, you could be trading off some muscle for fat.

If your calorie intake is less than it should be, your body could be in starvation mode which causes you to slow down your weight loss.

What are you eating? I agree that you might need to increase your calories

Depending out how you spread that out over the day, it doesn't look too bad. Just make sure the eggs are egg whites to reduce the fat content. I agree that activity will drastically improve your results. Just a 30 minute walk does a world of difference!

In my opinion you are not drinking enough water and your daily caloric intake is way too high for just 4 to 5 weeks out from surgery. You said you are drinking 3 bottles of water. If they are 16 ounce bottles, you are one short of the minimum requirement. One thousand calories a day is about 400 calories higher than recommended for someone at your stage.

You might want to cut down on your potatoes and chips and use less salt.

Thank you i will do that deff need to cut the potato and chips... We'll myfitnesspal said is 1000 but thats based on eating the whole meal which I done.. 4 bites and im done.. Always leave more than half.... So its deff have calories... But i was told that the sodium can be the cause

I am 3 months out and have only lost 27 pounds. I didn't really start losing until 6 weeks out. It was very, very frustrating. Then I have to tell myself, I have never lost 27 pounds in 3 months on the other thousand weight loss programs I have tried and I know this is weight that I will not see again! No regrets!!

What are your daily grams of Carbs?

I would cut out the empty starches and carbs for sure. No more Tostitos, baked potato, home fries, red potatoes. They might be okay way down the road, but while in the Weight Loss stage they are not very good. The are pretty nutritionally empty compared to lean Proteins and veggies... so they are basically taking up space that you could be eating something that is a better choice. Personally, if I eat many carbs right now it just triggers hunger and stalls the loss... which makes sense because I gained most my weight on carb heavy meals.
