You are going to stall switching food stages as your body adjusts.

If you want orange juice, get some Syntrax nectar Orange flavor.

I love Vitamin Water Zero, lemon flavored. It tastes like real lemonade to me. I like the orange too. It was a great break from Water. I have a problem with aspartame and this is made with Stevia. I'm a year and a half out and 153 lbs down. I've been drinking it since I discovered it Twp weeks after surgery. You can expect many stalls but if you stick to the basics of the plan you will succeed. Oh and your taste buds go through all kinds of changes too. Hang in there. You have started a wonderful journey! ????

A lot of times physical cravings are really about nutrient deficiencies. Orange juice is high in potassium and Vitamin C. I'd suspect potassium before C because it takes longer for a C deficiency to cause a physical problem. And if you're cutting carbs, you're missing a lot of foods with potassium in them like potatoes. Try drinking something with electrolytes in it like sugar-free Gatorade or even Smart Water (though it doesn't have as much in it as a Gatorade).

Well you might as well get use to it. You don't lose weight every day or even every week. You body is going to stall as it adjusts, and then you lose again. You are going to stall a lot in the process of getting to your goal weight. When you are stalled, make sure that you take your measurements.

Also a pound is meaningless. I can weigh myself right now. Drink 16 ounces of Water and be up a pound in 3 minutes. Your body weight is going to fluctuate as you are losing depending on the contents of your body. You didn't say anything about if you are regular or when your last bowel movement was.

If you can't take the stalls, then don't weight yourself as often. It helps.

That is what my husband says....its just so much more motivating seeing the scale drop. Also worries me cause i had surgery 1 mnth ago. ..

It scares me to feel so miserable atleast seeing makes me feel alot better. Today I ate 500 calories and walked 30 minutes in the morning in afternoon. I will do the same for a couple days then weigh myself i just want to see that scale at 239...that will make me happy.

Are you supposed to be at 500 calories at this point? The more you increase your calories, the more you will lose, you can't function on 500 calories for an extended period of time, not and be active. I lost the most weight in the 800-1100 calorie range.

I dont know....i am off work and its been very hard. But I did this surgery so I could move more easily for my baby can have the same experiences my others did. Shes one and my others are 17, 16, 14 and 12. I was always at a park, beach , bowling...or even cooking...now its her turn...So I guess my point is I agree but Ill do what I have to till I see my doctor on the 12th. Thankfully all the kids hubby and part time nurse we hired are very supportive.

I did drop 2 lbs a and after my bowel movement total loss of 3 lbs. Fitness pal says I should eat 1230 cal so Im confussed but till I get to 220 Im going to do what I have to. I find that I was eating loads more then others ...nothing makes me feel bad so...its up to me to eat s.aller portions maybe more frequently... but right now Im very happy that Im 1 lb away from 239 goal...then Im going for 229 goal. Then 220....tx for your consideration...????
