It took a while before I started losing good again after my surgery. It may take 4-6 weeks for your body to stabilize.

Just wanted to say hi!  We had the same doctor and live really close!  Dont have an answer for you, sorry!  But Dr. McDonald is great.  Him or Bobbie will be able to answer your questions.  He had to do an endo on me today and answered all my questions.  Good luck girl!

Hi Annmarie,

I remember the same worries when I was about where you are in my own journey. I thought, 'Oh no! I'm not ready for this to be it...' It wasn't. I kept losing, at a slower pace than I had before, but I kept losing. As a matter of a fact, for a while, I got to be a little 'too thin' for me. LOL 

Don't worry too much about not working out. To be honest, studies have shown that it doesn't impact your weight loss all that much. Just get back to it after you get the gall bladder issues resolved, because while it won't really impact your weight loss that much, studies have shown that it has a significant impact on your ability/likelyhood to maintain the weight loss.

I hope that you'll be feeling better soon, but in the meantime just stay the course. Make sure that you are eating plenty of protein and getting the right amount of calories... my program prescribed a regimen of 800 to 900 calories a day for weight loss. Less than that can actually put your body into something known as starvation mode where your metabolism becomes more efficient and slows... that's not something any of us want. 

Take care,
