3 Month Post Op APPT = FRUSTRATION
I am hoping it is just the inches vs the weight atr this point. I am losing inches for sure...
Water intake is usually 80oz a day sometime I only get the 64 but usually 80+ to as much as 96oz
I will try to cut down the sodium, - Almonds etc...I was told OK on those kinds of foods at 8 weeks so not sure why others are saying it is too early @ 3 months out.

Someone else posted this a few months ago. I don't know much about the website or the person posting, but I really liked how he explains inches vs pounds.

Pretty much everyone has said it, but the processed and high sodium foods may be the issue. I find that staying with real, whole foods high in protein is what keeps my weight loss moving.
I also have added back a second shake post work out, which has really started the weightloss back in full swing.
I'm a guy, 5'7", 48 years old. My typical food day is:
B - 20 gram protein decaf coffee (92 calories)
snack - 1/2 cup greek yogurt (65 cals, 11.5 grm protein)
L - 2oz chicken breast, w/ 1/8 cup green beans (70 cals, 12 grms protein)
snack - lowfat string cheese (60 cals, 8 grams protein)
pre work out - 1 ounce protein of some kind (cheese, chicken, beef, etc...)
Post work out - protein shake (92 cals, 20 grams protein)
Dinner - 2 to 2 1/2 oz lean brisket, 1/8 cup broccolli (95 cals, 15 grms protein)
snack - protein pudding (100 cal, 8 grm protein)
Eating like this gives me about 650 cals a day and 100 grams of protein. I also drink about 90 to 100 oz of water/liquid a day.
Once I started eating like this a few weeks ago after a two week stall, I am losing about 3 pounds a week again. I also work out an hour a day at least 5 days a week (5 days cardio, 3 days resistance). Hope this might help you out a little.
PS - I'm not at all hungry on this schedule or amount of food.
