Hi everyone. So need some helpful advice. I'm 5 months post op:
HW: 337
SW: 327
CW: 279
GW: 170
I've only lost a total 58 pounds in 5 month. At 3 month visit doc said weight loss wasn't great, but not horrible. He said I would loose the most the first 6 months post op. I do pretty good on the diet. Fairlife protein shake for breakfast, fat free Greek yogurt for snack, protein shake and steamed veggies for lunch (I run an ER so time for lunch is hard so do protein shack to get protein in me). Dinner is typically chicken breast, veggies, or sweet potatoe. Get less than 1000 calories a day, 60-90 gm protein, less than 100gm carbs, still to <20 gm fat daily normally.
I work really long hours in an incredibly stressful job. Sleep maybe 2 hrs then wake up, might get another hour or two. I also have an injury to my ankle to have been in a boot which makes exercise hard.
I lost a whole 2 pounds the entire month of September!!!! I lost the majority of my weight the first 6 weeks, then every single pound has been a fight to loose. I want my "tool" to work and I really am trying. I don't understand why the scale has been stuck for so long!!!!!
I know years ago my doc put me on Phentermine and had a trainer. I GAINED weight on it.
!I have to find a way to move the scale. Is it the stress level? The lack of sleep? Or am I just broken?
