Why am I not losing?

[misskristen 1]

I am feeling a bit discourage right now. I am only a month post-op but this last week and a half I have only had a 1lb drop on the scale. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am only consuming between 400 - 600 calories as per my post-op diet but I am frustrated that the scale is not moving. I feel like my body is fighting me every step of the way. Is it not really early to be experiencing a plateau?

The first plateau happens at about week 3. Keep following your Dr.'s plan and the weight loss will pick up again!

What exactly are you eating in regards to Protein and carbs and sugar?

Have you transitioned to soft foods or normal foods? A lot of people stall as they progress through the post op phases.

[misskristen 1]

I started transitioning to solids as of the 24th. So for Protein I have my yogurt, cheese, milk, chicken, fish. Although the meat has not sat well. Cooked vegetables and a few rice crackers. Not many carbs. I have a hard time getting through my protein to ever make it to carbs.

Famous 3 week stall that starts anywhere in weeks 2-5 and lasts from 1-2 weeks. It'll pass.
