Can you give us an idea of what the rest of your numbers look like? How many carbs? Calories? Fat even? How much water are you getting in? And what kind of exercise?

Sorry to play 20 questions here, but we could probably help more if we had more information.

The carb thing varies from plan to plan.  Most here will tell you to stay under 40 grams of carbs a day to lose weight.  What does your surgeon's plan say?

I honestly don't worry about fat too much, because at my caloric intake, I can't really get in enough fat to do any real damage if I'm getting in enough protein.

Many would also say that your calories look high for a sleever who is still trying to lose.  The popular plan around here has most of us under 800 calories a day.  What does your surgeon's plan say?

Are you tracking your food?  If not, you really may want to start now.  My husband wasn't tracking, and his weight loss had slowed like yours.  As soon as he started tracking, he could see where his diet needed improvement, and he has been losing about 2 pounds a week since.  Bottom line: if you're trying to trouble shoot your losses (or lack of), tracking really is a must.

I stuck to a 600-800 calorie, less than 40 carb, 80-100 protein, 80-100oz of water a day until maintenance. I'd talk to your doctor but my suggestion is to track all of your food for a month straight. Reduce calories to under 900 and stick to low carb, high protein foods. See where that takes you.

 LOL!
I was just saying on MFP this morning how the weight loss wont freakin stop. I have more than doubled my calories and it's still falling off. I keep adding new items to my diet every couple of days to see what works and what doesnt. Hopefully I get it under control before my nickname turns into Toothpick. HAHA

 Try to stay closer to that 800 calorie # and personally I would keep the carbs at least under 60 during the weight loss faze. See how that works for you. You can try what the NUT says which may work and if it doesn't the lower the carbs and calories. :)

Remember you wont see results in a day or week. Give it a true effort for 1 month and see where it goes for you.


Good luck!
