Hey y'all. I recently posted shortly after my July 18 surgery thinking that perhaps I made a mistake. I am no longer thinking I made a poor decision, but am so frustrated I could scream. After losing about 20 lbs the first month, I stalled for three weeks. I was struggling with meeting my Protein and Water goals due to travel and a few other issues so I increased to my recommended intake (80+ oz of water and 100-120 grams of protein) and broke the stall, losing about 7 additional lbs. Yay, right? Well, after a week I'm stalled again. I spoke to the Dr's office and was told if I don't lose anymore weight in the next three weeks, to see them and they will possibly order an endoscopy.

I read the post on www.dsfacts.com about glycogen stores and it makes sense, but how many times will this happen?? I know everyone is different but I feel like I would have lost more weight if I had skipped surgery and just stuck to a low carb diet.

Here is the link to the article:

What am I eating?

I have three Protein shakes a day (one Premier Protein and two powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes) and I will choose from the following:

-Scrambled eggs with a tbsp salsa

-Tuna salad made with onions, seasoning and a little light mayo

-Egg salad made with onions, seasoning and a little light mayo

-chicken salad made with onions, seasoning and a little light mayo

-Low fat refried Beans made with a little salsa, low fat cheese and onions

-Low fat chili with low fat cheese and low fat sour cream

-hummus

-low fat cheese

I only drink unsweetened iced tea (sometime I add splenda), Powerade zero or water.

What can I do?? Any ideas? This is driving me to distracting!

Thanks in advance for reading this.

The week following that I might have a 2 week loss and then another 5-7 lb loss. Scratch---

I meant to say a 1-2 lb loss and then the next week another 5-7 lb loss.

Those are the highest Protein goals Ive seen on here. I'm 1 month Post op DS surgery and my goals are 64 oz of Water and 90 grams of protein. And I've lost 31 lbs in 5 weeks. Sounds to me like protein is too high in my opinion
