How much Protein are you getting? You may not be eating enough if you are exercising alot. Less calories don't necessarily mean weight loss.

How long ago did you get the surgery? And how much have you lost in total?

It all takes time and diligence following our plans. And patience.

I've been stalled for about 6 months now, but I have NOT given up nor do I regret having the surgery. It is a tool for us to use and benefit from, it is not a miracle worker.

I saw this link on another thread. Maybe it will help you somewhere along the way.

I don't know your weight but I started out at 457 day of surgery. Bigger people tend to loose more weight quicker right after surgery last week I lost 0 lbs I get on scale tomorrow I'm hoping I'm down some. But I feel like I lost

You don't lose weight every day or every week, no matter how heavy you are to start with. That is how it works, get used to it.

When you lose big chunks of weight you are more likely to stall before you lose again.

A major stall would be weeks or even months without losing. You're emotionally going through a lot right now and your body is recovering from major surgery. Take a deep breath and say..."I've lost 34lbs in 2 weeks.." Let that sink in!! Because it's amazing :)

Remember this surgery isn't a magic fix all and weight loss doesn't always happen over night. Stay on course with your plan and it will happen.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience stalls and slow downs/fluctuations. Almost everyone experiences their first stall about three weeks after surgery.

Right after surgery your body is recovering from major surgery, is swollen, and healing.

I highly recommend that you stay off the scale, especially early out, and certainly until you are able to eat more. Try just weighing at your doctors appointments if you are going to allow the numbers on the scale influence your emotions.

Just follow your program.

Make sure you are getting at least 64 oz of Fluid.

Make sure you are reaching your Protein target.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Exercise when cleared.

Stay off the scale.

And, Embrace the Stall

Your primary focus is on healing right now.

What other diet have you lost over 30lbs in a week? I hope you don't expect to lose like that continuously, because you will be a very upset person.

I lost 30 pounds of water! When I lose 30 pounds of fat I'll be happy

When you lose fat you lose Water. It goes together.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
