MEAT WEEK let down
So I normally weigh myself everyday. For the sake of the MEAT WEEK adventure I weighed in Sunday at 150.4 lb and haven't checked since. I have been moving through the 150's at an absolute snails pace. Was hoping this would shake things up a little to finally hit that 149 !!!!
Well...this morning I was STILL 150.4 !!!!! REALLY BUMMED ABOUT IT TOO!!
Trying to tell myself this experiment isn't truly over until tomorrow mornings weigh in.....as today is still a meat day...... Sigh........
Any suggestions to bust over the hump????

I am so backed up right now it's ridiculous. I think, to me, that's the only downfall of Meat Week. I'm usually pretty regular, but this has just shut the whole thing down.

IMO - you did not get enough fat ..or magnesium.. or other stuff that would help you to "go".. I am sure more people are ion the same situation..

If you haven't had a full evacuation in the last couple of days...I would try and take miralax/stool softener both this morning and tonight after dinner. I find 2 doses separated, and the second not being too late...gives it time to work by the morning. I am probably doing this myself today....
I find since WLS I have to stay on top of it - 2 mornings no go have to do something...or sometimes I will go a little for 4-5 days but by fifth day if I haven't as I said 'fully evacuated' I take something to make it happen. The going a little can throw you off because you think 'I'm going' and in the mean time you are getting backed up.
I did the critter version of Meat Week- but I only had my premier protein and a few slices cheese...otherwise all meat. I have lost 5 pounds. Now I was still up 4lbs from a wedding 2 weekends ago...so I think those quick gains also come off quick... SO I would really say I am down a pound, and maybe 2 if I can get the system moving...LOL...
I did find my hunger way down too...
