I'm so frustrated with my body! It just doesn't want to lose weight. I went to a biggest loser resort in December where I was in a controlled environment in the middle of nowhere eating what they gave me and working out 6 hours a day and did not lose. So now I am on a month long optifast plan and am supposed to lose 14 pounds. If I don't they will cancel the surgery. It was TOM when first weighed in so I was carrying a lot of water weight. That first week i lost 7 pounds due to loss of the water. The next week I lost 2. So I am down 9 pounds and have 5 more to go in 2 weeks. That doesn't seem like a lot but my TOM is coming back. I haven't lost anything this week according to my scale. I have cheated twice but the combined total of both cheats adds up to 1000 calories so only explains 1/3 of a pound. I am exercising, drinking 80oz of fluid a day, and following the diet.

If they cancel this surgery, I will have to wait until August to get the surgery and have already been taken off the schedule for the month following my surgery date so I won't get the hours I need to maintain full time status and will lose my insurance. I don't know what to do any advice? I have 11 days before my final weigh in.

None...no one hits goals without changing things up when we stall. I had to lose 30 for my surgery so i quit drinking, dropped sugar, dropped all unnecessary carbs. 20g of carbs per shake is insane and that's your problem right there. Unless you're walking/running 4 miles a day and in the gym 2 hours a day, how can you burn that much off from liquids? I'd kill the shake, switch to sugar free carnivore if you have it in your area. (GNC) Stick to lean Protein, chicken, ground sirloin, eggs, turkey, cheese and walk. Just go out and walk, put your ear buds in and go. You'll shed the weight, hope this isn't too late

Upping Water is a great idea. My Dr friend tells me to drink half my body weight in ounces to assist in weight loss. It's a lot but it's working for me.
