I'm still at a stall. I had my surgery March 2. I lost 8 lbs when I went to my doctor for 1 week check up. However, since then I haven't lost anything. I'm getting in 70g of Protein eating less than 600 calories, working out, drinking my 64oz liquid, taking my Vitamin. Doing everything I'm suppose to do. But nothing havent lost anything for the last three and 1/2 weeks. Can someone give me some advice. Today is my one month since my surgery and I feel defeated.

Speak to a nutritionist...

"Less than 600 cal" is likely not enough if you're "working out"..

You may actually be starving yourself...

Yeah, you may want to try bumping up the calories if you're working out. Because if you're eating only 600 but burning 300 working out, that's a net of only 300 calories for the day. At least, that's how I understand it works.

Are you tracking in MyFitnessPal?

I agree with the above response only because at my one month post op, even though my weight loss was good, the nurse asked me how many calories I was eating. When I told her about 500-600, she told me that was not enough. She told me if I don't increase my calories, I will hit a stall. However, I had already stalled for two weeks starting at week 2.5 and it lasted two weeks (this is common anyway). She told me to eat between 800-1000 calories. However, you may want to go ahead and check with your nutritionist just to make sure what your caloric intake should be.

I'm at just over 3 weeks out, and I'm supposed to be getting in 600-800 calories without being cleared for working out yet.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
