Post surgery struggles

Hello everyone! I am 3 months post op. I have lost 52 lbs, 32 of those lbs being post surgery. But I feel as if the past month has been very difficult. I have been losing weight very slowly and I have even stalled. I have started at the gym and changing up what I eat to make sure I am doing things correctly. It is frightening because I want to make this work for me. I know it is a tool and I have to work with it. I am human and have not eaten perfectly after surgery but I am definitely trying. My motivation picks up and falls. I just want to reach my goal like any normal person lol.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice?

Weight loss isn't linear. It's hard to accept that, cuz stalls suck!
You've lost about 2.67lbs per week. Average loss post surgery is anywhere between 2-4lbs per week. My doc says don't fret. In the end, everyone gets there around a very similar time. The ones that start early with a bang really taper off about midway and the ones who are slow and steady eventually catch them.
Hang in there. Find a good plan online. There are so many you can Google and read about--one that works for you and then come here and post often! Also, I second books like Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies, etc.

Thank you for the book suggestion. I definitely need that book lol. This is harder I anticipated but it is everything I expected it to be. I feel like my stall is a bit lengthy at the moment. Trying to pinpoint what exactly is going on.

I love all of your posts by the way! Very informative and make me laugh at the same time. Thank you :).
