I would try adding Protein Shakes at least two a day. Your body is probably in starvation mode.

Do you think Maybe I'm retaining everything I eat and the Water I drink because I'm not getting enough protien in? I hope that's the case.. Thanks I'll drink them even though I want to gag lol

I agree, need to drink the protein!

It is the most important.

How much are you consuming of the refried Beans? even though they are good for you , they are high carb's. tofu? does tofu have any nutritional value? Look at what you are consuming..and walk...no empty calories..

I do 4 oz of the beans and the tofu I put in my Soup for the protien.. I can't really tolerate meat yet but I'm going to try.. Some, and I've been walking at the park with my pups every other day.. I will up it to everyday now

Whatever weight you've gained, it's not fat. (not this early out!). You are probably retaining Fluid. The best way to "let it go", is to keep on drinking. Pay attention to the salt content of your food. Aim for around 1500-2000mg a day. Coconut Water will help with electrolytes.

And check your scale. It could be inaccurate too. Step on it several times in a row, and see if it weighs you the same each time.

Make sure you scale is working properly. How often do you weight yourself ?

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
