Lacecute, stalls happen, and it sucks big time. I will say, though that you aren't eating nearly enough to jumpstart your weightloss. Your body is probably holding on to each morsel you eat, because you are in starvation mode. I had my surgery a week before you, and I eat a lot more than that. You should be eating 800 calories per day at the very least. What you listed totals about 400 calories.
Start following your program. Everything is ok with the exception of the chips of course. Eat something every 2-3 hours. Focus on Protein (more), healthy fats (you've got them), and get some Fiber in. You are going to be malnourished and constipated like crazy if you keep eating like that. You need to actually eat something at this point. Some lean protein and vegetables for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. A Premier Protein shake for 1 of your Snacks if you are still lacking in protein. Have the cashews or some fruit (berries) for another snack. If you are still under, add a small salad to finish off your day.
This is what I ate yesterday.....
Breakfast: 2 egg whites, 1/4 cup of spinach, 1veggie sausage (116 cals, 3g fat, 2g Net Carbs, 16g Protein)
AM Snack: 1 Premier Protein Shake (160 cals, 3g fat, 3g Net Carbs, 30g Protein)
Lunch: kale salad with cubed turkey (195 cals, 15g fat, 1g Net Carbs, 12g Protein)
Early PM Snack: 1 oz. raw almonds (160 cals, 14g fat, 3g Net Carbs, 6g Protein)
Dinner: 3 oz. grilled salmon with 1/4 cup chopped broccoli (185 cals, 11g fat, 1g Net Carbs, 19g Protein)
PM Snack: 2 celery sticks with 2 triangles of laughing cow cheese (85 cals, 3g fat, 1g Net Carbs, 4g Protein)
Macros: 901 calories, 49g fat, 11g Net Carbs, 87g Protein
Oh, and stop stressing also. That causes your body to hold on to fat. Cortisol is increased with stress.

My daughter said that she is afraid that people will judge her if she has WLS. I told her that her closest friends who care about her health and her struggles won't judge her (hopefully) and that the rest of them already are. As overweight people, we are doomed to be judged one way or the other.

HI everyone! I've been lurking to boards for a month or so and I figured it was time to step out of the shadows and say hi. I'm new to this journey, I just had my first visit (have to do 6) with the weightloss doctor. I go back to him December 6 I'll be meeting my surgeon on January 8th. I'm excited and nervous but looking forward to having an improved "me". I've started making my changes (smaller plates, measuring food, putting fork down between bites, yall know the drill) and I'm hoping to see some weight loss when I go back in a few weeks. I haven't totally settled on a procedure yet, I was leaning more towards sleeve but will discuss with the surgeon what he feels is best for me considering my past and my stats now. I have a husband and little girl (6 yo) and both are supportive and so is one of my best friends. I do have one friend who is not supportive and I've had to be firm and tell him to keep his negativity to himself. I love the support I see on this board and there are so many inspirational stories here. I am looking forward to seeing yall progress and seeing me progress as well. Sorry for a long post, I just wanted to introduce myself and share a little.

Thank you Karen, I just did a tank top and shorts. I would hate for anything more revealing to be accidently seen by anyone !!
Today is day 1 of the Boost, doing ok, have a bit of a headache, but I am using peppermint essential oil, and that seems to be helping. I had a 'last supper' last night at my parents. My sister and mom made me a sort of advent surprise, with the most beautiful card. 42 small gifts to open, one for each day for the next 6 weeks !! That should help pass the days!! I opened the 1st one today along with my first Protein Shake, a bath bomb and a new sponge puff!! I see a relaxing bath in my future tonight !!
I have been very selective with who I told about my surgery, only people that I know will be loving and supportive. So far, everyone has been wonderful, hopefully that continues.
