6-1/2 weeks out and a 2 week stall

It has been 6-1/2 weeks since my wonderful life saving surgery. I have lost a total of 42 pounds. I lost 31 the first month but I haven't lost any in two weeks. This is depressing. I am walking and trying desperately to drink all that god awful protein. I don't eat very much so it can't be that I'm eating enough to sustain this 237 pound body. So what's up? I go to get a B-12 shot today and I hope to talk to Dr. Fields. Should I go see a nutritionist? Everything I'm eating is going down well and I've only had one instance where I threw up. (Salami is high in fat-lesson learned). I'm down two sizes and am excited about looking better but I don't want the weight loss to stop or slow down. What should I do? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I drink Crystal light with Unflavored Walgreen's Beneprotien. I have tried Isopure and Profect with Crystal light which makes them both tolerable but all these protein products just taste awful and chalky with horrible after tastes. I eat a lot of Chicken, peanut butter, mashed potatoes, tuna, eggs, etc. Thanks, Laura 280/237/155

Dear Laura, I think you are doing wonderfully...Maybe you are losing inches now....I am 3 1/2 weeks and have lost 20 lbs. but heck I lost 15 the first 8 days after surgery, and it's takem me over 2 weeks just to loose the other 5 lbs. however, I did measure my body before surgery, so I measure it the other day and sure enough I have lost inches all up and down....so I feel pretty good. Just hang in there you are doing great....Cheri

Laura, You are doing great!! Don't panic, it is perfectly normal to to go a few weeks without any weight loss. Your body will stop loosing at times in order to catch up and while you may not be dropping weight you will probably lose inches. Just keep doing what you are doing and don't beat yourself up or panic...it;s all normal and will happen through out your journey. Hugs, Tonya
