Hey guys, I'm two weeks out tomorrow and haven't lost a single pound in the last week.. I drink two Protein shakes per day, Water, and eat yogurt or pudding and have a Popsicle usually.. I'm getting about 70 g of Protein, 60oz of Fluid on average, etc.. I don't understand how people lose so much?! I've been stalled a week.. I lost 8 lbs since surgery on 6/20 but haven't lost anything in the last week. Answers?

Hey guys I'm totally confused. I'm 5 wks out down 20 lbs since surgery. Idk if that is great or not. But as you move thru the stages and start to add in foods it's so hard to balance them. Like , in order to get my Protein I still have to substitute like a shake and bar etc but if you start adding in food it seems like you're always eating?! Surely I'm not suppose to have a couple shakes plus three meals a day?? And if I'm suppose to substitute a shake for a meal then when do I get to eat real "foods"? Is anyone else having this issue? How many times should I be eating? I feel like in order to get my protein in I have to drink a couple shakes, so if I add that to a couple or few more small meals of food I feel like that's a lot. Anyone else feel this way?

Thanks everyone! I've heard of "slider foods" that they are foods easier to slide thru without much restriction maybe once I start eating meats and veggies I'll feel more full: thanks

Apart from a couple shakes I usually have a small 6oz cup of cottage cheese and fruit, or a cup of yogurt, or I can even hold a whole egg and slice of cheese.. I'm 3 wks out from surgery. I see people a year out that only hold a few bites.. It makes me concerned about my intake.. I'm not overly full either. Suggestions?

I've lost 8 lb since surgery on 6/20. But I've been at this same weight for like a week.. I don't understand either.. I drink two Protein shakes a day, Water, and always eat like some yogurt or Popsicle or something also.. Not losing..

Yes i find it hard also @@beauty and the beast . I started out getting very little.. I'm 10 days PO and get about 50 oz. that's max right now. That's getting my Protein shakes in and sum Water that's about all I can handle right now

in third week post and still having trouble getting in all of my liquids,but getting better.

Yes I feel like there's not enough hours in the day I probably could get 48oz on a good day trying hard but most days I'm like 32oz and I get all the Protein in

Yea WE CAN!!!!

We watched the Shallows Last night in theaters! Yes, my husband and all my kids scarfed down popcorn and chocolate and candy while I sipped my Water.. The food smelled so good, but i handled it well and I'm looking forward to a better me.. That seems more important to me than a few seconds of mouth pleasing. We can do this, all of us!
