Talk to your Nut and start logging your food as you might be eating more than what you think. I will be praying for you and your dr's to figure out a plan that will work for you!!!

Are you getting enough calories?

Are you a lower BMI?? Cause if you are... weightloss will be slower.

I am 6 weeks, almost 7 weeks out and ive lost 28lbs... and doc said i am doing very well considering my lower BMI... but i am sticking to the plan 95% of the time

You're complaining about losing 15 pounds in a month? Really? I can't understand where everyone gets these crazy expectations of rapid weight loss after surgery. If you are meeting protein and fluid goals and taking your vitamins, thats all you need to do. That and maybe work on Lowering your unrealistic goals. BTW, it took me 3 months to lose 17 pounds and I was ecstatic about every single one of them gone forever. I never once thought I wasn't losing fast enough. Seriously, sit back and enjoy the journey!

I'm not sure how many calories I should be getting in.. My NUT never really discussed that and he's out of town until Monday... My BMI currently is 39.8. I'm meeting a majority of my protein goals and getting in 72 ounces of liquids a day

Secondly i would suggest that you log your food daily, so you know exactly how much you are consuming.

You could be consuming hidden calories or sugars that you may not be aware of unless you are logging your food.

At 4 weeks out, don't worry too much about the weight loss... you are still recovering and your body is in shock
