Broke that awful stall (starvation mode)

Jun 17, 2011

Well, I stepped on the scale today and I feel great. After being stuck at 250 for over TWO weeks, I finally saw the scale jump down 5 pounds over 2 days (Yesterday I did not weigh myself since I was getting extremely upset watching the scale everyday).

I think the reason it picked back up is the fact that I am forcing myself to get in more calories, and more protein. I am now getting AT LEAST 600 calories, where for those first few weeks I could hardly get in 400. I bought the Slim Fast Carb Diet chocolate shakes and it has 190 calories, 20g of protein. It seems to be the key to me firing up the cylinders again!

I am overjoyed, because along with the foamies I had two days ago, it really confirms to me that the surgery was done. (Don't ask why I questioned it in the first place, but with absolutely no complications for 3 weeks after the surgery, I was doubting if he just didn't stick in the laproscopes and then close me back up. I know, I know, I'm very doubtful of people).

So, as of today, 245.

So that's 15 from the preop diet (280 - 265)
and 20 since surgery (265- 245)

Thank you Lord for waking me up, and SAVING my life.
