Back to your original question on what to do. You may not want to hear this but you need to cut your calories. Now that you're smaller, your body needs less food and 1150 is what I'd be on maintenance. Go down to 800 and you'll start losing again.

That isn't true for everyone. My RMR is over 1900 and I still lose easily on 1400 calories a day, I can lose on as high as 1600-1700. I maintain on well over 2000 calories a day.

When you are super morbidly obese for a long time, BMI over 50, you body builds more muscle as it adapts to carry the weight.

I have more muscle mass than most grown men, which is how I look so physically small even though my weight is high. My bones are 3x denser than the average person my age, from carrying all the weight. All of this is information from my DEXA scans and RMR tests, not just something I am pulling out of a hat.

She can still lose on not starvation calories, her weight is still up there, her RMR is probably still over 2000. She also just had major surgery, plastics, and is being too hard on herself.

She can keep losing as is, everyone stalls. I have stalled for a month before then lost 10 pounds in a week, it happens.

@Dashofpixiedust8 is right on track. It is just that when you start so high it takes longer and there are more stalls. This is a marathon not a Sprint. She has this.

I just eat, don't think much on it and my body does what it needs. When I focus on food I inevitably mess something up and slow my process. We are not meant to eat a lot.

Proteins work, carbs work, so I personally balance back and fourth between healthy options of those two and it tricks my body.

Had one stall last a month but saw what I did to break it, so I eat one way, then change if I get a hint of stall. Odd? Maybe but works for me! [emoji4][emoji1303]

And if weight loss slows for a week or so, I notice it in my clothes. So I'm good ~
