I am stuck and not sure why



Recommended Posts

I had gotten down to 172 almost two weeks ago. I was so excited that I was nearing the 160s. But then early last week it bounced back up to 177. At first I thought it was Water weight but its been almost two weeks and it hasn't come back done. I am getting in plenty of Protein and 60+ oz of Fluid (have never gotten in much more than this and have always been able to lose). I am exercising 5 out of 7 days. I'm just not sure what I am doing wrong. When it first bounced up, I decided to go back to basics (protein shakes instead of food) but that doesn't seem to be helping. Yesterday I had one Premier Protein shake, one Oh Yeah bar (15 grams), one GNC Total Lean shake, one turkey burger patty with 1/2 teaspoon each of mayo, ketchup and mustard and a piece of low fat cheese on it. That's it. I walked 4 miles at brisk pace. That's a typical day for me. Any thoughts? I'm super discouraged.

Surgery date 12/3 at 208

Current weight 176

It could just be your body replenishing glycogen stores in your muscles. It takes 4 oz of Water for each 1 oz of glycogen stored. Or it could be like in my case (this has happened twice in 8 weeks), a REALLY BIG poo. Seriously, I lost almost 2 lbs after going each time. So keep in mind how often your going to the bathroom, that could be the extra weight.

Weight gain or stalls can be caused by not exercising enough or too much carbs. You are obviously exercising enough so maybe carbs? The POO thing does sounds possible too. Goodluck I hope you start loosing soon

Are you getting in your Vitamins? B12, Calcium, Iron, D3? That could be it.

During one stall I had, a friend who had bypass surgery told me to go out and get a hamburger or milkshake to shock my system. So I did. Yup, shocked my system alright. I got a sundae and could only eat about 3-4 bites. It worked, though.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
