discouraged and sad

I am 4 months out and in the month of June I have only lost 2 lbs! I am doing what my nutritionist and dietician says. They advise me to eat 3 meals a day and eat no more than 4 oz and no snacking at all. I have friends telling me I could be eating too little which may be putting my body into starvation mode but I'm doing what I'm told. I don't know what to do. For a person my size I feel that 2 lbs in a month is way too little! Someone please give advice, positive vibes. 

4 months since your surgery? That does seem odd....have you talked to your surgeon about it? 

I'm calling him tomorrow.

Breakfast- protein shake 30 grams protein

Lunch- 3 oz of lean protein 1 oz fruit or veggies 

Dinner- 3 oz of lean protein 1 oz fruit or veggies

I was instructed to only eat 4 oz per meal. I do my protein shake for breakfast to make sure I get my protein in 

Hi Chavon - I'm so sorry the results haven't been meeting you're expectations. That does seem very odd! 

I could hardly eat 2oz of food at a time for the first 2-3 months post op. 

I can only suggest what I did, I lost on average 12-13 pounds a month and it took me 12 months to loose over 160 pounds (that includes my pre-surgery weight loss). I went from 311 to 145 (lowest was 137 but that was when I was sick in the hospital with a nasty infected bowel problem). I am back up to 160 and working hard to get back down to my goal again. 

1. track ALL you're food AND drink, don't estimate actually weight it out and size it out (pretty much as soon as I stopped doing this and just guessed and added wine to my diet I gained weight)

2. no white flour, sugar and cut the "refined" carbs out or way down - I try to get my calories into the 30% protein range everyday 

3. drink water in between you're meals 

4. add a half an hour of cardio a day to you're routine and don't miss or skip, do it everyday! When you hit a plateau or as you are closer to you're goal weight you will have to change this up and do more and more to increase the deficit because you'll be lighter 

It can be done - you can do it! 

You are awesome! Thank you so much for all the great advice and kind words. I am going to take things that you say into consideration because I defiantly believe it will help me. Congrats on your weight loss. Pardon my french but you have done badass!! 

Every plan is different but for me were were told to have a morning and afternoon snack. Adding a lean protein then might help

How much have you lost total since the surgery? Are you being more active? I wish I had answers for you - I'm only 2 weeks post op and I'm avoiding the scale until my one-month checkup. I'll send positive vibes your way!!

I have lost 87 lbs. 12 preop 75 post op. I am being more active. I think I am just going to stay away from the scale for a while and do my best
