first of all how many carbs are you consuming?? Second are you getting your protein and water intake in. if you are getting less than 25 carbs in per day then up your water intake. You have to totally change what you are doing. Kinda throwing your body for a loop. But it is extremely important to watch carb intake.

We have the same surgery date! I was going through a 2 week stall and it finally broke yesterday. I upped my water, lowered my carbs and made sure I hit that 60 grams of protein. I upped my water tremendously. I also went to the gym 3 times this week. I tried to burn at least 300 calories while I was in there. I woke up this morning and I had lost 3 lbs. I posted a story like yours and I got some advice from a fellow sleever and I'm glad I followed it cause the stall was driving me crazy. Don't get too discouraged, I hope that this info helps. Take care. Let us know when your stall breaks.

Unfortunately, stalls are part of the process. It is really hard to stay focused and not let them get you down. I don't think that there is anyone that hasn't had a stall or even a gain along the way. Keep your protein up, try to stick to the diet plan as far enough total calories) even if it seems like you are eating too much and try to exercise at least 30 minutes 3 times a week. I found that if I deviated from any of those 3 things, I would stall and had even gained.

I'm working out 4 times per week for an hour, 80 grams of protein per day, about 20 carbs per day and getting 64 to 80 oz's of water. I did increase my calories 2 days last week to about 900 and my fat intake because I know from losing weight previously that if I don't get enough calories or fat that I stall. Once I did those things I lost one pound each day. I'm praying that this is the end of this stall. I will keep everyone posted and thank you all for your help!!! Smooches!!
