Bummed

Hey everyone! I entering week four today and I am feeling so discouraged! I haven't lost a single pound in 2 weeks..... I was so happy to start soft foods, but can barely eat 2 bites... it hurts to swallow like it's getting caught in my esophagus and I'm chewing 30 times each bite! I don't k ow what is wrong but I'm feeling so depressed from not losing a single pound in 2 weeks... help? [emoji30]

I'm sorry you're discouraged. It's SO COMMON tho. Honestly. I had the famous three week stall. Make sure you're drinking all your water and let your body heal. This first month is about healing. It WILL come off. Are you tracking your protein and water ?

Yes I am tracking and getting plenty of water! I have never had a problem with water, I love it!! I actually wish I could tolerate more! Lol

My protein however is a little short.. but I can't get any more in!!!

I'm also stalled! [emoji17] I'm at five weeks out and been stalled for two. I've been pretty good at water and protein. Need to go back thru logs to check calories but I'm pretty sure I'm within all my parameters. So frustrating [emoji29][emoji29][emoji29]

Google three week stall. Everyone goes through it. Remember that this journey is a marathon and not a sprint. You have to make lifelong changes to be successful long term.

Hang in there.

Don’t worry we’ve all been there!!!! Make sure your not trying to eat too early. Guideline or not if YOUR body isn’t ready for soft foods don’t eat it. Stick with liquids a little longer. Good luck!!! [emoji4]
