What surgery procedure did you have? Can you provide some of the food items you're eating? If you are eating mostly carbs, that can account for slow weight loss. Generally, we need to eat lean protein first, followed by vegetables. Complex (whole grains, oatmeal, etc.) carbs are okay but less often than protein and veggies. Simple carbs (sugary foods, white bread, white rice, potatoes, etc.) will slow or prevent weight loss. Have you seen your surgeon or nutritionist since your surgery to discuss this with them? If not, call the nutritionist to check. I also encourage you to journal your food. OH has Health Tracker (located under MY OH's drop down) on the blue nav bar. You can show the nutritionist or surgeon what you're eating so they can assist you with food selection to maximize your WLS and weight loss.
