I am so sorry you aren't getting the results you want.

Without more specifics and information about what you are doing it is hard to offer suggestions.

How far out are you after surgery?

What is your Protein target?

Are you tracking, weighing, and measuring your food?

Are you reaching your protein target every day?

Are you getting at least 64 oz of Fluid?

Are you avoiding starches and added sugar?

Are you taking your Vitamins and supplements as instructed?

Let us know what doing everything your doctor told you means and hopefully we can offer some ideas.

Surgery done on Feb 8. And I do everything from portions to avoiding to all my Proteins and vitamins, I'm in the mushy stage an I can't eat because I'm not even hungry just thirsty

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. Most of us experience our first stall about three weeks after surgery. It's a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process.

Just follow your program and make sure you get in all of your Protein and fluids.

Embrace the Stall!

So you are like 3 weeks out? It I common to stall at this point. The first 6 weeks are about healing, not weight loss.

I had a stall last week and now I gained 2-3 pounds

So even gaining 2-3 pounds is part of the stall?

Yes. You are going to gain and lose and stall throughout this entire process. Just get in your protein and fluids, take your vitamins, stay away from carbs, enjoy the NSVs and SOTFS.

It sounds like you may be getting too much exercise for three weeks out. Your body may simply not be able to keep up with the demands of both healing and your activity. It's hard to tell, will you be a bit more specific? How many calories are you able to get in?

at 3 weeks I was managing 500-600 calories a day. I walked 30 minutes a day and that was all I had energy for. Like other people asked, what are you eating exactly?

I have my protein shake every morning, which is only 100 calories believe, than most of the day it's water or water down no sugar added juice an than farina or refried beans, but I can walk the whole day with no problem, an I take my vitamins

So I have to chill out more? My doctor said walk a lot, an by March to join a gym. The calories I get is mostly from my protein shake and water down no sugar added juice, sometimes from refried beans or farina

I thought a stall was meaning by when your weight stays the same for a few

You are only drinking one Protein shake and some Beans? Did I read that correctly?

What is your protein target? I don't see where you responded to that question.

Are you reaching your protein target every day?

I went back to reread your response.

You HAVE to eat, even if you don't feel hungry.

You HAVE to get in enough protein and fluid so you can heal.

Losing weight will happen, but is a secondary goal right now to getting enough nutrition so you can heal from surgery and function.

Protein is a must for anyone undergoing any surgery. I'm 5 weeks out and am slowly losing, I too have had gains but I've upped my calories and saw a loss. I'm pushing to get to 1000 cals a day now.

Sounds to me like your body is desperately trying to hold onto any form of sustainable energy possible because it's starving. Slow your roll on the excersise and force some protein and calories down. 200 calories and constant exercise is not the way to do this. Just worry about getting fluids and protein down to heal up and then start an excersise regimen. Right now just normal moving around will burn calories with as little as you're eating.

You still haven't given an answer to how much Protein? How many fluids? Those really are the only numbers that matter right now. If it's less than 60-80g or less than 64oz (minimum!) then you need to work on those goals. Your priorities should be healing and being healthy, not starving yourself to see how fast you can lose.

I didn't WANT to eat or drink for nearly 4 months, it was an unwelcome chore. But I MADE myself do it because that's the only way to stay healthy. I was meeting goals by 5 days out and never stopped. And yes, I gained pounds occasionally and I stalled, just like you are going to. but eventually I lost over 100% of my excess weight. Just be patient and don't worry about what the scale says right now.
