Hello yes I am meeting protein and liquid goals. I do think that exercising slows down the weight loss, but a complete stall for weeks is discouraging. I decided to stay off the scale for a while. I do notice changes in my body even if the scale isn't moving so that is good! I am going to add protein on the days I exercise. Thanks for the response

I am at a weight loss stall for 17 days now. I'm 11 weeks po. Any suggestions for what worked for you? I walk 1.5 hours everyday and eat between 700 - 1,000 calories a day.

I have started taking a stool softener, but think Miralax is my next step. Thank you

I have had warm soup but not broth since my liquid diet. I am willing to try it. I have never tried prune juice either but I will get some next time I am at the store. I used milk of magnesia a few weeks back and that worked instantly but I am looking for a long term natural remedy.

I will try the warm water. I do drink the sugar free propel and crystal lite throughout the day. I don't seem to like water right now, so I don't drink enough of it. I don't drink the protein shakes much either, but I did buy some Genepro unflavored protein powder and mix it in things to make sure I get my protein in everyday. I should probably not get on the scale everyday when I am in a stall! Hopefully things will get moving again in both areas lol.

I am 6 weeks out and have only slowly added soft foods. I started with vegetable soup for vegetables and they sat well and were great! I am a bit nervous about adding a lot of solid foods too fast. I did have a hernia repaired at the time of surgery so I was told to wait a little longer. I am stalled on the scale as well and not sure if I should add a bit of food. I walk about an 4 miles a day so maybe I should slow down on that. Any suggestions that helped with a stall? I am still dealing with the constipation issue and have found a tea that seems to help every few days.

What soft foods did you first add to your diet at 6 week PO? Which vegetables did you start with that were cooked down?

Thank you! I am going to try some vegetables in soup first and see how that sits in my stomach. I will keep up with the fiber supplements for a while.

I was looking to try to add vegetables to help get fiber in my diet, but it sounds like I should wait a while longer and keep taking the fiber supplements. Thanks for the reply
