Date of surgery: 4/6/2015

find myself not losing any more weight, not a pound, in fact I see my weight go up 1-2 pounds this week and eating the same..

Calorie intake: 1200 calories

Burn about: 2000 calories

Workout: Recumbent Bike: (3X) 15 minutes at 4-5MPH, maximum tension.....

Nutritionist, stated I cannot lose anymore weight, I have no more fat to burn and any additional weight I will be losing will be muscle.

Current weight, 268 and the nutritionist stated, I have about 20-25 pounds of excess skin making my true weight 243lbs

what are your thoughts on this? I think I still have more weight to lose, any advise?

I'm no medical experts, but I've had success rotating my calories and or exercise. One day 800 calories, the next 1,000, the next 1200, the repeat. Same with exercise. Good luck.

I have a goal of 300 lbs. I have a large muscle mass, and I intend to keep as much of it as possible. For me it is not about weight, but rather about fat. If the fat is gone, or down to a healthy level, why worry about a number on the scale?

      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! 😞
