Nicole,

How many calories are you eating a day? Can u give an idea of what you eat in a day? The tiny loss I had is back and after 2 weeks, from seeing the nut, I'm in the no weight loss category still. I eat enough salad for a whole hutch of rabbits!! Still 600 or less calories a day. That nut visit cost me $75. Grrrr. I am so proud for you!!

Did anyone say they tried coffee and drank it? I got that folgers 1/2 the caffeine that i want to drink. Going to try it in the morning. I dont put sugar in it. I only use that sugar free Creamer

I've had Decaf quite a few times. I accidentally forgot to order decaf once and it made me really hyper. No tummy troubles but I felt buzzed hahaha

Are u getting in enough Protein

Are u getting in enough Protein

The nut said not to worry about protein and put me on high Fiber diet very restrictive plan.

Be- oatmeal or yogurt

Lunch- lots of greens with protein/ fish , chicken or Beans - 2 oz

Dinner- cooked veggie and same protein 3 oz.

2 snacks- raw veggie with yogurt dip or 1/2 piece of fruit.< /p>

That's it. Didn't do anything really for weight loss Been on it for 2 weeks and no different from pushing the protein.

Mi2, I know everybody and every doctor is different but my doc says to eat at least 600 calories per day (600-900). He also advises against salad because it takes up valuable pouch space that could be filled with good Protein. I started losing better (still not great) when I followed that advice, made sure I was getting at least 60g protein and 48 oz Water. I don't eat any bread, potatoes, or Pasta per his instructions. Basically protein (75% of my food) and vegetables (25% of food). When I can do that, I lose. Just some thoughts. Good luck! So sorry you are frustrated.

Well the nut said to stop worrying about protein and then have me a high Fiber plan which was 600 cal and mainly salad with 2 or 3 oz of protein some yogurt and 1/2 piece of fruit for Snacks. Nothing else. Well. I didn't lose on that and that dropped my cals 200 a day from what I was eating. They said no more Liquid Protein or Protein Powder. All reg food. I'm eager for any suggestions.

This is definitely a process. I have had a few stalls myself. I was losing like crazy in the beginning but now its just a pound or two here and there. We just have to be patient and trust that it's gonna pay off. Be encouraged

Thank you!

I average 800-900 calories a day. 81 grams protein!

I have a Protein Shake in the morning 32g of Protein. I add fruit too. Strawberries or peaches (frozen). I don't have this until 8:50 am. I drive a school bus at 6:40 am til 8:40 am. I drink 1/2 on the way to the gym. I walk 45 min on treadmill. I bring Water with me but don't drink until 1/2 hour in. I finish my shake in car after I get out.

I only started doing any exercise until 3 weeks ago. Absolutely nothing prior to that. I go 3 days a week.

When I get home from the gym, I have some sort of a snack. Package of nuts or a Greek yogurt.

I head on the bus at 11:15 again and bring water with me. I'm home by 12:45.

I eat lunch 1/2 small chili from Wendy's or turkey deli meat with cheese rolled in a lettuce leaf with mayo. Water 1/2 hour after.

I head out on the bus at 1:50 again and bring nuts and water. I eat the nuts at 3:00.

I get home at 3:50. I make something for dinner at 5. chicken, mashed cauliflower, or ground beef scrambled with melted cheese and tiny bit of potato. Sm Salad with grilled chicken.

At 8 I have another protein shake. And water in between all of this.

Hope this helps. And I just started salad stuff a week ago. I have no issues. Also, when I eat, the protein is eaten first. Then anything else after.

Thanks for sharing. That's the same stuff I was doing before seeing the nut. I'm wondering if I should just go back to pre surgery plan. I was at least losing then.

Are you exercising at all? Sometimes it helps getting metabolism going. I know stalls are frustrating, but I'm sure inches are disappearing. Keep your chin up, it will come off.
