THIS broke my stall

Ok so I went on a rant about a week or so ago about being in a stall and gaining weight.  It was suggested to increase my calories from roughly 500 calories to 800-1000.  I TRIED doing that putting plenty of proteins first BUT this did not work for me.  I actually piled on an additional pound.    I decided to try the method that i've been doing (low cal high protein) but to really ramp up the proteins & still keeping my caloric intake under 620.    I pushed my protein to 85 grms and my water intake to 70-80.  The VERY next day 3 pounds gone.   Today 3 days later a total of 9 pounds gone.   HOLY SMOKES!!!!


I gotta update my ticker!

That's awesome! Good for you!

I'm two weeks out and would LOVE to increase my protein and water, but I still can't seem to get down more then 50g of protein and 48oz of water. I get so full on liquids that it's all I can do to get that down. lol. Hopefully I'll be able to drink more next week. My first week I could only drink 18-20 oz of water and 25g of protein. So I'm able to drink more every week. I've only lost 10 pounds since my surgery. Hopefully it will drop faster if I can get more protein and water in.
