Hey everyone. I am 6 weeks post op. I did great the first month losing 28 pounds. But I am not losing any weight and I’m scared and frustrated. I’m at 32lbs and have not moved. I even think I gained 2 pounds. I have only been drinking protein shakes for the most part. Some times I eat eggs when I can stand it. But protein shakes seem to be the only thing I can handle. Especially since back at work. I haven’t gone to the gym yet but I’m on my feet at work for 10 or more hours and I walk on my 30 min lunch break and have been doing exercise videos a couple days. Do I need to exercise more ? What am I doing wrong. ?

You’re not doing anything wrong...do a search on the site for stalls, it’s normal what you are going through right now.

You’ve done well and lost a lot of weight in such a short time, congratulations!! keep following your plan, the stall will eventually break and you’ll start losing again. I wish you the best!!

Ditto what Wanda said.
Hang in there.

You have lost 32 lbs in 6 weeks. Seems like it is working to me

To echo what everyone else has said, you're doing great! You should take your measurements—when the scale isn't moving it can be helpful to have these to show that even though the scale isn't moving, that your measurements are changing.

You’re so right. I guess I need to just let go of my expectations of this miracle loss every week. Just hard because the first month was so amazing. Thank you so much ?

You’re so right I am having a bunch of non scale victories. I think measuring myself would help me feel those little victories even more. Thank you ?

Very very true ?

Yep. Congrats on your weight loss. More will come. Your in a small.

Omg I would be doing the happy dance if I was down 32lbs in 6 weeks ?

Yes, you are doing great. But if you are stalling at this point, you might want to look at your overall caloric intake. If you aren't getting at least 800 cals a day, your body probably is in preservation mode. Check with your nutritionist!

You’re right. I thought of that too I don’t have a nutritionist. But I will start using MyFitnessPal pal again to monitor because I think
You’re right. I’m sure I’m no where near that.

They suggested the app bariatic and its very good to track all ! I also use the “lose it” app

Bariastic
