I was 330 lbs. I had surgery on February 20th in five weeks I lost 37lbs. But now I'm stuck in a plateau! I'm not sure when I'm going to see the scale change again the first four weeks each day I was a pound or 2 lighter but this past week and a half no change. Everyday I weight myself now it's the same. I am praying now to get out of the 290's and enter into the 280's and beyond. Anybody has advice on the Plateau and how to jump start the weight lost again? I'm still exercising and I consume around 350 - 600 calories per day . Is this too much food?

Peace and Love,

Michele

No, your not eating to much food. Depending on how much you are exercising, you may not be eating enough. I had my stall the 3rd week post-op. It lasted 10 days. Stalls are natural. We're going to experience them frequently during our weight loss. Maybe try only weighing yourself every 3 days or once a week.
As long as you are getting your protien and fluid goals, getting some form of exercise then you are doing all you can do. The rest is up to your body.

All this. My guess is you're not taking in enough food. It may see counterproductive but if you keep your calories too low your body is going to go into protection mode and do everything it can to keep from losing. Stalls are going to happen so might as well get used to it now! Just keep doing what you're doing and the scale will start to move again. Keep your carbs low and focus on good Protein sources. Bump your calories up a bit (maybe 100 per day) and see what happens. It's trial & error some times.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
