Yes...its very normal to stall. Search the dreaded 3 week stall and see for yourself. I was depressed when the scale stopped moving so early. But I had never heard of stalls. Keep reading...you're not alone. Sleeved May 15th SW 205 CW 174 IVE been at 174 for almost a week. I think my body is in starvation mode. I had a virus and haven't been able to eat hardly anything.

Steelersrn56 72 Posted July 19, 2013 Hello all . my surgery was July 10th. I am so over Protein Shakes ( did a 2 week Protein diet like I am sure most of us were). Since starting that 3 weeks ago i am down 23 lbs . My doc said she is fine with me proceeding to puree foods. Anyone know how mashed potatoes work for them if they are on puree yet? I only want a taste just to get something different from sweet protein shakes . 1 clovous reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steelersrn56 72 Posted July 19, 2013 Noooo don't do carbs .. Mash some cauliflower up .. Yuck , cauliflower lol . I am hoping after all of this that my taste buds change and that I will like more things. I wish I wasn't so picky . I am trying to mainly focus on just staying hydrated .

aliekat55 157 Posted July 19, 2013 cauliflower instead of potatoes? just because it is white? not a substitute at all, i would rather go hungry, or bang my head against a brick wall. 3 megancd, kailie and JSCRIMPSHIRE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lucy00us 7 Posted July 19, 2013 I had my surgery on 7/3 and the weight lost stopped! I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, but it's hard. I'm also tired of the sweet Protein Shakes. I'm mainly getting my Protein from Isopure drinks. My doctor gave me the ik for puree, but I don't know what to eat either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know why none of my diet and exercising throughout the years never worked . I always would lose quick then the # on the scale didn't decrease quick enough for me so I lost my willpower and patience . I'm trying now to change that mindset and quit relying so much on that # on the scale and take each day one at a time . It's hard but this site seems to offer a lot of support . If you need a shoulder , let me know . I'm a great listener and we are going through it together ! 1 lucy00us reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hopingtolose2013 81 Posted July 22, 2013 Try refried Beans with cheese, chicken salad, not potatoes! I am on to soft food tomorrow sleeved on the 8th....baked chicken, shrimp, cheese...stuff like that. I actually started the chicken salad a day early. A few hours won't matter and I feel soooo much better with a few tsps of food in me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
