350lb plateau

So i just had my surgery on sept 16th which was a sleeve recovery has went well and have been able to keep food down no problem and lost over 45lbs since the surgery but no ive gotten down to 350 and have hit a plateau even though ive been active at the gym but no loss just wondering if theres anything im doing wrong or if there is something i need to change in my diet that may help?

A stall early on is very typical. I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Hang in there, your body is just adjusting. The losses will keep on coming.

Ok thanks for the info. How long does these stall usually last on average?

Everybody is different. I would say this early on, it could be approx. 3 weeks. If it goes on more than that I would probably call the Clinic and tell them what's going on. You may need to "up" your calories or drop some carbs. Stalls can happen when our body thinks it's starving. If you eat more, it kick starts things again.

You are so early out though that I think its just a body adjustment, some shock. You have lost well to start with.

Hang in for a bit and see what happens. Again, if nothing moving in a month, call the clinic and see what they have to say.

Been a long time since i've been on this site but saw your post Fern.

I had surgery in Feb of 2018. I'm basically at the point where I have gotten my 20 Lb bounce back from my lowest but I also know that if I get back into the gym again and make a change or two, I'll lose a bit more. Still my life is so much better now than the place I was at when I was 404Lbs.

I just wanted to reiterate what SweetRide1 was saying to you. I definitely recall an approximate 3 month stall in my weight loss. As she said to you, we are all different and all I can do is reinforce that what you are doing is not the cause. It's your Body taking a breather. Hang with it, The loss will start again.

Take care, You made the right choice.
