Only 4 pounds lost since surgery on 1/30

[mariasja 4]

I was told to eat 200-400 calories per day until week four. I had my sleeve on Feb 11 and have lost 15 pounds. I've attached the plan my nutritionist gave me.

Wow...that is low! My doctor has me on 4 meals a day and 1 Protein Shake. Just the Protein shake is 160 calories.

I have lost 3 more pounds since i posted this, a total of 7. What did your doctor say?

He believes I'm doing great. He just said, keep exercising and it will come off. Follow the plan and I'll see you in 3 months.

Sorry about that quote but the info is worthy of investigation for anyone with metabolism issues.

Don't under estimate the weight of muscle gain. Muscle weighs more than fat, if you lost 10lbs of fat and 6 lbs of muscle are you still upset? The scale doesn't break down your body composition, but if you are sticking to the plan your body is changing. Your DR obviously knows this, thus shared no concern of you lack of short term loss. I am in a two week stall as well, so I know the underlying anxiety that builds evertime we step on the scale an don't see what we hope or expect. I do think you should hide the scale. I havent lost a pound in two weeks, but I lost an inch on my waste!
Stay strong and stay on plan, and it all comes off in time. You are making wonderful life changes, the weight will come off. Thank you for sharing.
