6 1/2 weeks post-surgery - weight loss stopped

I am 6 1/2 weeks post surgery and have lost 46lbs so far. This last week my weight loss has come to a complete stop (since I've been able to start actually eating). I don't feel like I'm eating too much - most days I can't even get enough calories in - any suggestions??

this is a normal part of the process unfortunately. stay on the diet plan and drink water, focus on protein and it will pick up again. stalls are a normal part of this, your body is kind of like "um this isn't supposed to be happening" so it stalls, trying to hold onto everything. It will pass, I promise!

My uneducated reasoning is the body needs time to adjust and shift its stuff. It usually lasts about a week, Take a few days away from the scale and love yourself. Protein and water first.

For me too! I’ve managed to kick start it again by weighing in only once a week, getting all my fluids, and adding exercise along with following my food plan.

Its difficult for me because I travel for work and sometimes my body doesn’t want to cooperate, but Hanging on to this for dear life and hope the scale starts moving again soon.

We can be frustrated together but we can never give up.
