Carbs post op - contributing to stall?

[stomlin75 161]

I understand we are supposed to be eating high Protein and very low carb (<20 g per day). However, my program pushes us to drink milk by adding it to Protein Shakes, Soups, etc... The milk is putting me well over 20 g per day in carbs. Since I have been stalled for about 1 week, I am wondering if that could be the problem. I've also had some greek yogurts that contain the fruit mix and soups like Butternut Squash that are higher in carbs as well. My calories are still very very low because I can't eat much. But, I am wondering if this could be the problem?

It was for me! I didn't lose until I kept the carbs down to 20 and increased my Protein

I go over 19g of carbs most days, so for me it doesn't seem to impact my weight loss. You're actually coming up on the post surgery time that a lot of people stall for 2-3 weeks. Do a search for week 3 stall and you'll see what I'm talking about.

While you're stalling, don't feel that you're not losing. I can attest that even when my weight doesn't move I am still losing inches.

Didn't I already send you a link to this article? It sounds like the timing is right. You're probably right at it. Not all carbs are bad. Milk and fruits are good for you, as long as you are getting in your Protein.
