I am 5 months post op, lost 80lbs since surgery and then hit a plateau but I think it's purely from muscle growth.
I have a perfect nutrition, I never ever eat anything unhealthy and my nutrition is carefully curated by my VA (US military hospital group) nutritionist.
I do 45 minutes of cardio on my exercise bike, 75 inclined ab crunches, 75 ab wheel reps, 50 bicep curls, 50 shoulder presses and 25 tricep extensions every single day 7 days a week without rest days. Which is about 525 minutes a week versus the 150 minutes per week minimum recommendation.
I have incredible muscle growth and definition all over my body forming and I'm really starting to enjoy how my body feels but the scale stopped going down which has really caused a lot of anxiety and I begin too question if I'm not exercising enough, if I'm eating too much. The usual eating disorder thoughts creeping in.
I am aware muscle weighs more then fat and likely what's happening is I'm dropping fat and building muscle close to the same rate but I care more about weightloss then muscle development so when the scale isn't going down I'm freaking out.
Please tell me someone else has experienced this.
