Weight loss plateau

[Bogarka 13]

Hello, I had my sleeve surgery on June 17th, I have hit a halt to the weigh loss that is lasted a month now, I keep excising, taking in 100 gr of Protein, 700 cal, 80 or less carbs a day. Anyone hit this kinda plateau ? Besides mixing up the exercise, what else could I do to start this lb loosing business up again?

I think everyone has. I just came off one that lasted a month. Seems like it's different for everyone. I changed up what I was eating. I was eating too large of a portion of nuts and had dropped off yogurt intake. Changed that and added more protien. You seem good there tho. Hang in there and it will start dropping again

It may seem counterintuitive but many have reported that raising your overall calorie intake for a while may help end a stall. If you are consuming 700 calories a day, you could try kicking it up to 900 or 1,000 for a few days and see if that makes a difference. It certainly wouldn't be enough to gain much and it may cause your metabolism to shift back into weight loss mode.

I agree with @shriner37. I had surgery two days before you, and I'm at 900-1000 calories per day now (per my NUT). Especially if you're working out a fair amount, you need more calories.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the weight loss process. None of us lose weight at a constant rate. If you have a significant amount of weight to lose, then you will experience stalls.

As other's have noted above, with 100 grams of Protein a day, 700 calories seems extremely low. You may not be getting enough fats and good carbs. What does your NUT advise?

Embrace the Stall!

Five months to your first stall (thereabouts) is actually exceptionally good. I hit my current stall at the three month mark and have spent the last two weeks fighting it. You don't have much data posted about your journey, but I would say keep positive and if you think you can tweak a few things (add a little exercise, etc...), do it, otherwise, you will hit the road again.

Thanks everyone for your advice's. This is my longest plateau, I had it a month out from my surgery for 2 weeks and than one week in month 3. My nutritional intake about 700 cal and 80 gr of carbs come from my doctors Office as a guideline as I visited him a month ago. I will definitely try the get away from my daily Breakfast of yogurt and change up my meals where I still get my Protein as needed but not through yogurt for a while, lets see:) I have been keeping my food pretty much the same since I was able to keep a good track of what I was eating since I still eat at my desk at work due to me not getting any breaks away from work.Thanks everyone for your kind words! Happy thanksgiving to you
