Stall advice

I'm so frustrated. I was sleeved 7/21. I lost 14 lbs in preop then 26 post surgery. So, I was 285 SW...7/21. I was 249 on 8/31. So, I was ok with that even though it was a little slow.

Since that, I lost 5 lbs, put 2 back on and stayed at 247 for a week now. That's only 3 lbs in almost a month! ! And why would I gain? ! :(

I track in my fitness pal daily. I have 70-85 grams protein/800 calories/under 50 carbs / all my vitamins/ 64+oz Water and work out 3x a week. I don't know what else I could be doing.

I really feel like I'm done losing and this is as far as I'll get. I am feeling very depressed about it. Any helpful tips, info, anything?

there is only one totally proven way to avoid stalls and all the mental anguish they bring. It worked for me and I went from a size 22 to a size 6 in eight months. I'm still maintaining over a year later and I never once had to stress over a stall.

The secret to a stall-free weight loss journey is follow the program, get all your Protein, Water and Vitamins, be active, and most importantly, STAY. OFF. THE. scale.!!!!

You lost 36 lbs in a month? And you think that is slow?

That is 15% of your entire body weight lost in one month. That isn't slow, that isn't even average, that is actually a very big loss. A stall is common around 3 weeks post op. Do a search and you will find literally 100s of threads on the "Three Week Stall". The weight loss has not stopped, it has just stalled so your body can adjust to this new and prolonged calorie deficit. You have probably even noticed that while you haven't lost but a few pounds during this stall that you seem to still be losing inches and size.

Your calories/protein/carbs look to be on point for this stage.... keep doing what you have been doing and the loss will resume! Your results are already great and show that this is working for you.
