Yes i have read a thousand posts on the commonality of stalls. I started my journey on aug 13 th and surgery was on aug 27th. I am down a total of 23 lbs of which 9 have been post surgery. I am at 235.5...235.5....235.5....235.5....235.5....235.5 i am going to pull my hair out. I put the scale away...but that only lasted for a day. I am using fitness pal and getting right around 800 cal a day, i started walking a little but still to afraid and weak to work up a sweat. If this stall doesnt break soon....i just might! UGH!!!!!!!!!!

You will be ok. It's only been a couple of weeks since surgery for you and things will start moving. I tried to keep away from the scale as much as I could the first few weeks. At first, you are bloated from surgical gasses, then your body acclamates, and then you lose! Stay positive, it works. I promise.

If you're getting all your fluids, getting your Protein in the range it needs to be, watching your carbs level, and keeping the sodium in check, I suggest you give the walking a bit more effort. You don't have to work up a sweat immediately but keep building the speed and distance. The exercise will actually help you not feel so weak. Good luck and keep us posted!

Between the Vitamins & walking it does help with the energy... It takes time, but when you start to lose, it does come off fast. Just follow ALL the drs, orders... Get your fluids & Protein in & WALK, WALK, WALK.... Can't stress that enough! Good luck & don't be discouraged. ;)

      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.
