What am I doing wrong? Please help!

I thought the carbs were high because I couldn't have that many on my diabetic diet. I've been told by the nut to have 5 a day, do you think I could cut down the shakes? I only have till Thursday so it would be for a couple days only

What's your starting weight and how many calories are the shakes?

[mommabear2311 31]

Starting weight is 304 and today it was 305.4 after 6 days of no food and only shakes, Water and crystal lite. 170 calories 16g Protein and 21 g carbs. I have 5 of these a day

Agree way too many carbs. A lot of us are carb resistant. Check the sodium on the old shakes too. Could also be retaining Water.

This math is not adding up. If that's all you've had then you have lost weight and the scale isn't reflecting it for some reason. Maybe period coming, maybe you're retaining Water? Did you weigh early in the morning? Even if you're having that many carbs/day you have still lost weight. Was it on the same scale? I would say all you can do is stick to it and I'd expect to see a drop at some point. Weight is weird like that, it fluctuates.

In my last class they talked about people not loosing and not getting surgery. I'm so scared I won't get my surgery. I have worked at this just like I was supposed to. I walk and then this. I've wanted this for so long and I feel like it's being taken away.

I'm going to stick it out. I want this surgery too much to be at this point and give up. It's discouraging when I don't see results though.

To be honest this is the only diet I haven't cheated on

Retaining Water... I didn't think of this until I reread your post ella37, I ran out of my hydrochlorothiazide which is my Water pill! We use express scripts and I should get them in the mail tomorrow. I haven't had them since friday. Boy I hope this is the reason and I get them tomorrow

I mean if you don't lose will they give you more time or is it just over?

If it's really do or die time I guess all you can do is decrease your shake intake but that seems crazy to me. At 304 there's just no way you gained on this plan. I would assume this is a glitch in the scale but if this is your one shot then I guess do whatever you can.

Just keep at it then! Your efforts will show on the scale soon enough I'm sure

I drink the whey isolate Protein powders and they have 1g of carbs per scoop. I am taking in less than 10g carbs per day, I would say you just need a better Protein Powder. Premier Protein is pretty good and found at Walmart. Good luck and I hope you get your surgery!
