Ha! I'm only on week 3...puréed black Beans and some cottage cheese! What I would give to chew something! LoL

How is it I'm eating nothing but broths, cottage cheese, puréed black Beans and lentils and Protein Shakes and some how week 3 I've managed to lose literally nothing! It's so discouraging. Ive also been on the treadmill 5-6 times a week. I always hear of people losing amazing amounts in the beginning. I'm scared that I'm only 3 weeks in and I've already quit losing, is this not working for me? Also I don't really feel full when I eat. I can eat about a half cup or a little more and feel fine. Shouldn't I be stuffed at only 3 weeks?

I think at first you stomach is numb for the surgery. I honesty believe that. Your Probably on a stall. How long has in been since you have seen your scale move?

Broiled with a lemon caper sauce. Then use the leftovers for salmon cakes with garlic aioli.

Thanks. I've always used canned salmon for cakes. I'm gonna try that tomorrow.

Jerz' date=' I use Paul Prudhome's Blackened Redfish Magic on them. Sooooo good! Just thaw the filet, sprinkle generously on both sides and fry em up in a pan.[/quote']

Thanks! Before surgery I used to cook all the time. Since then it seems as if I've become an idiot in the kitchen now! LoL!

First....breathe. Go back and read old threads. Almost all of us have a stall around 3 weeks....it will come!!! Facts are: you're body has had a huge trauma and is recovering, it takes time. Some people are lucky and lose 10-15 pounds a week at first but many of us don't (when I lose, I average 2-3 a week,I'm 9 weeks post and had a 3 week stall earlier this month, yuck!!!) A pound is 3500 calories. An 'average' 5'6 150 lb 35 year old woman needs 1800-2100 calories a day to maintain her weight (this is extremely variable based on metabolism, exercise habits, etc.). Eventually your body will chill and stop hoarding and start burning, keep moving, keep eating well, and it WILL happen, math doesn't lie
