Plateauing and Frustrated!

Hi there! I am 10 weeks post op. I had my surgery on May 1, 2015 and quickly lost 37 lbs in that first month. Since the beginning of June I have lost maybe 5 lbs. I'm getting really frustrated as I am following my diet by the book, exercising like it's my 2nd job and not seeing the scale move! I understand that muscle weighs more but I am hoping that others have been in this situation and have some advice.

I also hit a plateau. I looked at my calorie intake. As my meal volume increased, I concentrated on eating high Protein meals. That way I was able to reduce the number of Protein shakes I consumed each day. Your protein requirement is the amount of protein you get from your meals combined with the amount of protein from your protein supplements. I was able to reduce the number of protein shakes, which in turn reduced the total number of calories (meals, protein supplements, fluids). Then I began to lose weight again.

As you progress, you will need to adapt and change continually until you pass the weight loss phase and transition into the maintenance phase.
