I'm pretty sure the answer is eat more or burn less. You have been at a deficit for so long and now it is time to reduce the deficit. Try eating a couple hundred more calories more per day and see how it goes for a couple of weeks. Tweak as necessary after that. Alternatively, burn less at the gym.
Post surgery, I have reduced my cardio work and switched to more weights to burn less as my caloric input is lower than pre-surgery.
You can use the MFP calculator to figure out your maintenance caloric level.
Good luck!0 -
Set your MFP for "maintain" and make sure you eat back the calories. Measure and weigh all food intake. Just follow the math.
BTW - you look great. Congratulations.0
