broke my stall

So my weight had not budged in a month ( i am now 4 months post op) which coincided with the time i joined a gym which i was fine with. I go to the gym for an hour every other day. For me  i am not fixated on the scale, so long i fell better and am healthier.....both of which i have continued to answer affirmatively. So on monday i decided to boost my protein with powder and water and to my surprise i dropped 5 lbs in a day...this has happened before when i hit a stall....the difference this time is my stomach has ben growling like crazy since monday. My question ....do you think i have finally boosted my metabolism to the point where i am burning fat again, or is this the result of the increase in protein.

Whenever you exercise, you are creating a calorie deficit.  Perhaps the addition of the protein drink boosted your calorie intake for the day?  What do you think?

I'm so happy your stall broke.

what an awesome attitude and NOT a scale watcher KUDOS~!!! so many people get hooked up to getting on everyday and then freaking when they are a pound up....

congrats on breaking the stall and taking every opportunity to get physically active~!

I can't comment on your quesiton, because I don't know enough about metabolism..all I know is that your body does what it needs to to keep from starving....
