    I don't believe that calculator either. It's saying she would burn 100 calories a mile, which IS rule of thumb for a 150lb person. 150 calories per mile is probably more accurate, which puts it at 375cal.

    I agree with @BigViffer
    Everything you are doing looks okay.

    When in doubt cut out all processed foods and see what happens.

    That diet Snapple, no girl no. The veggie patty unless you are a vegetarian there is no benefit for you, eat a normal Protein.

    Overall your food is really good though. I'd give up the cheddar chips though too.

    I like H20 protein Water too.
    As a rule I try to limit my processed items to one a day max. They will slow your weight loss either will sodium or fake sweeteners.

    Also thank you so much for asking an educated question with documentation. That was really refreshing compared to most post around here.

    Thank you everyone for the responses! It is definitely scary to here some who is supposed to be an expert on wls say that the 3 week stall isn't real, also concerning when you feel like your doing everything you can to succeed. I found that this situation played on fears I didn't even know I had making me think the surgery was a failure and that I'll be stuck like this forever. I cannot say how much I appreciate everyone's prompt responses and the encouragement, it has greatly helped to put me at ease!

    I have been the same weight (was actually up a few pounds-PMS) and I have NOT cheated.
    I hit ALL my protien goals, my carbs are very low and I surpass my Water goals.
    I take my Vitamins and have moved a lot.
    Mom just getting home from vacation, literally now ( was perfect on vacation) and hoping being home in a more normal routine will break it.
    My three week mark isn't tomorrow.
    I normally wouldn't say ignore your doctor, but I will here. Just keep doing what you are doing and your body will catch up.

    Mine said it is. I stayed the same weight for 9 days at that point.
    PS - shame on your doctor for saying it's you're fault when you're following the plan! Give it time. It'll break.

    Regarding the stall in general, my sister and step dad are both body builders/weight lifters who are very well versed in nutrition. Stalling (aka plateau) is very normal. It's your body's way of adjusting to the new you before it realizes your not done changing. Quote from my sister "our body is stupid. It has no idea what we are doing or why and it's goal is to stop us."
    I've never heard of a dr who didn't know the body well enough to believe the stall.

    No offense, but it sounds like your doctor is full of it. Follow your plan, meet your Protein and Water goals, and the scale will start to move again.

    Looking for opinions, I have been following my post op diet with no cheating and I though I was doing well.... True I lost 14lbs at week two and have been stalled for 2 weeks but I assumed it was the dreaded 3 week stall. Now at my one month appointment I am told that the week 3 stall isn't real and that this is my fault for sure (not my words). What is everyone's opinion on the legitimacy of the week 3 stall?
