I have lost 35lbs since my Jan 15th surgery, but not 1 single lb of that loss has been in the last 4 weeks. I eat perfectly and only about 1000 calories a day, I log it religiously on sparkpeople.com. I work out 40 minutes per day varying my excercise and I just can't lose. I weigh 305 pre-op, 270 currently.

Can you call your dietician or surgeon and ask them why you aren't loosing. I think I might be the same way.

Hi

I would call your doctor as well. If everything looks ok from him I would totally change the types of foods you are eating. Eliminate carbs completely for a week to see if that jump starts you...change the type of exercise you do so that your body gets confused....and lastly, eat less. I know 1000 cal isn't that much, but technically my doc wants me to eat between 800-900 cal a day (i try to monday-thursday).

Maybe introduce greek yogurt...lean meats & cheeses...salads, etc.

Whenever i get "stuck" in the same place for a week or more I change up my diet and it works every time.

It sounds like you may not taking in enough calories. Your body may be in starvation mode. Where you wont lose a single lb because your body "thinks" it needs to store every calorie it can.

Some people have had success with upping their caloric intake on 1 or more days a week. Try drinking an extra protein shake a day.

I had my surgery Jan.14,09 and I have lost just a few pounds since. I have had 3 fills for a total of 4cc. I do fine during the day but at night I cant sleep so I get cravings and I ruin my day. What can I eat to keep the full filling so I dont ruin the good in my day. I am desperate to lose the weight. My hunger pains get so loud at night it wakes the dogs. What to do, what to do???
