Ridiculous low amount of weight loss
Any suggestions / advice from others who experienced the same, on my situation. Basically for the 3rd and 4th month, I have only lost 6-7lbs in total for the two months combined! I eat the right amount of protein, stick to the 1 cup of food, take the vitamins and get the 2 litres of water. It feels like I am the only person that this surgery is NOT going to work for. I am not really looking for a pep talk, just advice from people who have experienced the same. And yes, I am exercising at least 4 times per week.
I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but it might help if you track your food in the site I use, myfitnesspal.com. It gives you a breakdown of your protein, fat, carbs and calories and you can print off the pages and give them to your dietician, who can do an analysis for you and give you suggestions.
good luck

Yes, it happened to me too. I was about 6 months out; total stall for 3 weeks, 1 lb loss, 1 lb gain, stall for 3 weeks, 1 lb loss, then back to normal (which for me is usually 1-2 lbs per week), so a total loss of 1 lb over a period of 8 weeks! Are you tracking your measurements? You could be losing inches but not weight; this happened to me during my long stall (I lost a size, but not weight).
Are you getting enough calories? My weight loss has stalled when I'm not getting enough in; I guess it hordes because it thinks I'm starving myself.
See the dietician with a detailed list of everything you ingest, including volume and/or weight. When I did that, I was surprised that she told me to increase my caloric intake. And if you're not taking your measurements, it's time to start! Good luck and hang in!

I am one month out and have been a very slow loser. I talked to the nurse today at my one month session about how little I've been losing. (I am just starting puree today). Her response is that we all lose differently. I had less to lose and so it is probably going to be very slow for me. She told me I can expect 1 - 2 lbs a week..sounds discouraging to me but evntually I'll get to where I should be.
