My highest weight wast 231lbs. Same as surgery weight. I lost 13lbs in a month after surgery. Gained 2. 1 week later lost those 2lbs. Nearly 3 weeks now and nothing’s happening. I track my food daily getting 500-700 cals in a day. Mostly protein. (no beef or pork) 1 premier protein drink, under 20g of carbs. Haven’t had any junk foods. When I snack it’s light string cheese or a protein shake. I pretty much eat eggs, meats and cheese. Not to fond of sweets. What do I need to do?
