Stalled? or is my body just freaking out?

[Dan DeBrucker-Cota 0]

Hey, I am 44 and 6 weeks post op. I have lost 44lbs, and for the first couple weeks I was dropping about a pound a day. I am eating exactly as they have advised me to, but, I have slowed down to losing a pound in 2-4 days.

Here is my routine, I am still doing shakes, and a small meal. But I noticed I have a hell of a time doing the Water intake. I really just am not on board with it. I like the shakes, I like Crystal Light..but plain Water is boring. Also, I work out for an hour each day. I do 30 mins on the treadmill and 30 on the cardio machines.

Any suggestions? I have a feeling the lack of water has something to do with this?

I don't think weighing every day is a good idea. I weigh twice a week, but will eventually go to once a week. There are too many variables at play with your weight and you can easily become discouraged, by not seeing progress. Twice a week will give you s few days of accumulated loss to show. Good luck and keep with the plan and you will be fine!

Your body needs to rest. Expecting to lose constantly is unrealistic.

I am 5 weeks tomorrow and I weigh every morning-but my expectation is not to lose every day-I just want to stay on top of how the choices I am making effect the scale-I.e., if I didn't get in my exercise, Protein, Water etc. I can say that if I don't hit my water goal I usually don't see the scale move as much as when I do. Good luck.

I'm just about six months out, and I'm in my first stall. At this point, I'm pretty comfortable with it because I think my body is exhausted from losing weight. I am grateful that i made it into the 100s before the stall happened,however. If I were waiting for the 100s I would probably be singing a different song.
