2 week stall in the first month?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery one month ago. I lost like 22 pounds in two weeks, which didn't surprise me because I am a big girl but since I started on puréed foods in week three I haven't lost an ounce of weight. Is a two week stall normal in the first month. I am only eating two ounces of mushy Proteins two times a day and my two Protein Shakes, between 400- 600 calories. Any suggestion? Should I go back to broths?

You're doing great. If you do a search on the forums on week 3 stall, you'll find lots of company. Including me. It's simply your body adjusting to all the changes it's just been put through. Once it realizes it's "OK", the weight will start dropping again.

Stalls/plateaus are pretty common. Just follow your surgeon's instructions and trust the process. It's going to be OK.

Be well…

      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...

        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.
