Is it possible at 3.5 months
Is it possible that at 3.5 months out you'd be done losing weight? It's been like two weeks and I just keep playing with the same 3-4lbs. I'll lose a few lbs and then the next day back up again like I lost nothing. I follow my 80-100g protien and my 900-1000 calories. My body fills different I can see loss and some of my clothes are falling off. Maybe I'm stressing too much? Any help is great.
How much did you weigh to start? Now? Do you follow your plan to the letter?
Weight loss isn't always steady. At about 3 months I really needed to start exercising but other than walking a few miles every other day I really didn't and my weight loss slowed down a lot. I stated exercising 3weeks ago and have lost 10 more pounds.
I started at 263lbs had surgery on 1/6/17. I follow what the nutrionist tells me I mean I'm not exactly on point all the time. Also the nut has me at 900 calories but I feel like I'm starving sometimes or more so lately go to 1000 calories. I work out at least 3 days a week sometimes 4 that includes winning, walking, and weight training.

Sometimes stalls just happen. You also have less to lose than people at higher weights, you will slow down quicker. My surgeon told me 1300 calories, I would talk to your surgeon rather than your nutritionist about where you should be.
I'll have to ask my surgeon however the nutrionist works with him. She created the eating plan for his bariatric program. But I will still ask him when we go over my blood work... I go back on 5/18. I feel like my calories are too low because not everyday but some days I feel starved even tho I'm eating.

I just know that my surgeon said that if we have too few, our metabolism will stop working and we won't lose weight. I had been getting 500 calories a day, now he wants 1300 and 90 grams of protein a day.
I really hate when surgeons give out that crappy starvation mode advice. 1300 calories will kill your weight loss before you know it. Want to lose weight? Eat less. Eating more made us obese. And of couse, any obese person is going to leap at advice that says you should eat more.

See my nutritionist was pretty dead set on staying around 900 calories which is where I lose. I have a friend with the same surgeon and nutrionist and she's a year out and can have between 1000-1100 calories daily. I probably shouldn't have been trying to eat 1000 daily. I think if I scale back and do 900 and track everything I'll see change.
