Slowed weight loss at 4 m- ***updated diet info today***

I went a month without losing any weight at about 6 months post-op. I was eating under 800 calories a day (weighing and tracking all my food religiously, no snacking or anything else) and exercised regularly. It was frustrating and inexplicable, but I kept doing what I was supposed to and then lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. Hang in there.

Thank you! This gives me hope!

Is it "slowed down" or is it an actual stall (no weight or inch loss)? After the first month, things slow down for EVERYBODY, since our bodies have adjusted to the new plumbing.

If you've lost zero weight in four weeks despite 500 cal/day-- assuming that's 100% accurate-- then it's time for a check-in with the surgeon.

It has fluctuated up and down by 1/2 lb to 1 lb.

I was cancelled on my 3 month f/u and they tried to re-schedule me but it didn't work with my schedule. I work Monday-Friday 8-5:30pm in a pediatric office. It's really hard to take off. I had my 4 month post op scheduled yesterday. I took off work and had all my stuff scheduled for that day and on my way to the office, I was cancelled because the surgeon had an emergency surgery... I can't take off this month again. It's really getting old being cancelled. 

ok.. so today I mixed it up a little. This is what I ate today.

I know this isn't of help for you, but i was wondering how long you took off of work for your surgery, I'm a CNA and I'm not sure how much time ill need off and a nurse does as much running around so i was just curious.

Hello! I took off 1 week. I did have lifting restrictions. My job was really understanding. The first week I got back, I didn't have energy and I would easily get out of breath.. even with just walking. Thankfully, as I was able to get more protein and fluids in, I felt better every day.
