Same weight 14 days-7 weeks post-op

[gabybab 696]

Hi!

Please be nice. I've been the same weight for 16 days. I mean the exact weight. I've lost 42 lbs so far, but not one more pound.

I've been tracking my eating in an app and get no more than 1100 calories. How is this possible?

I have ate some high fat foods, otherwise I'm not sure what is going in and I feel like this is it, no more weight loss, even though I'm eating 1/4 of my previous food.

Please help me understand.

Also, I started back with 15 units of Lantus & my endo said it could make me gain weight. Really?

Help!!

It's just a plateau or a stall. I'm going through one now at 16 weeks, been two weeks since the scale has gone down. That's normal. I eat around 800 calories a day and I exercise, so I know I'm doing everything right, my body just has to adjust to the 50 pounds I've lost and wait for a little while before it starts losing again. Hang in there.

You are likely stalled , on a Mini plateau or eating your maintenance caloric intake. It happens to a lot of us. Give it a few more days shake things up a bit like more Water less carbs etc or just wait out. But diligently track your intake so you can see if anything makes or breaks it! Good luck 💜

Water, water, water. I could be that you are eating too many calories. I'm 3 months out and my surgeon has me a 900 calories (I'm still eating 800). How much Protein are you getting in? Protein will help in weight loss also. Good luck and be strong.

Any suggestions to doctor yogurt up? I eat vanilla and put 1 T pumpkin seeds in there for crunch. I'm getting bored, but it's a high Protein source. Thanks all. Appreciate it!!

it's probably just a stall. Stick to your plan and your weight loss will eventually start up again.
