5 months post op. Not losing weight

[LosingIsWinning 3]

I had gastric sleeve 9.12.17. Since then Ive only lost 38lbs. Since 12.23 Ive only lost 6 lbs. I exercise 5 days a week, I measure, weigh, log all my food. Im so depressed and I want to cry all the time. I know I feel better and I am able to walk and not have issues. I followed up with dr and nutritionist and they just say follow the program. It will work. Then I was told Im getting too many calories from Protein and to cut a snack. I should only be a 800 calories a day

I workout. They encourage it. 800 calories is nothing and Im burning on average 600 a day.

I just feel like this was the biggest mistake and I will never lose weight. Any suggestions?

Has anyonr else gone through this?

I'm sorry to hear this. Why not post some of your menus and go fill out your profile so we have more information to go on?

Give yourself credit...You are losing weight 38 and still going.

Just so I understand correctly. You are login and getting in 800 calories per day. Drs are telling you too many of your calories are from Protein. Are you hitting your protein goals or are they higher than 60/100 grams?

I am actually between 950 and 1050 calories. They want me at 800. Yes I get about 90 to 100g of Protein a day

If you are only eating around 1,000 calories a day but burning 600, that is probably the issue. I would say reduce your workout and perhaps focus on weight lifting? We are told to focus on strengthening for the first 6 months, and to only do light cardio if we choose to.
