I get that stalls happen> I know it. I'm just tired of being stuck in one. It's almost 3 months since I've lost more than a pound or two. I get that for the last month I've been pretty inactive, due to another surgery (3rd major one for 2011). But really? I even managed to gain several pounds. I'm almost back to my low before this surgery. But really? What am I doing wrong?

Here's yesterday foods:

Breakfast: 2 eggs over easy. Used Pam. Some salt, and pepper to taste.

Between breakfast and lunch my 23 ounces of water bottle.

Lunch: tuna, 2 ounces 1 tbsp of mayo light


Had my bottle of water. 23 more ozs


dinner: turkey burger

had my 23 ounce bottle of water before bed too.

snack: i had a 100 calorie pack of pretzels.

I was low on protein yesterday, but my pouch wasn't happy. It hasn't been much since my last surgery.

suggestions?
Oh surgery was 1-11-11.

Just wondering, are you recording everything you eat?

If so your total for yesterday would be

Kcal 581, Fat 28, carbs 4, pro 50.

If you eat that every day you would have lost weight in 3 mos.  My 65# 12 year old eats much more than that.

People can stall for awhile by not eating enough but not for 3 mos- Eating 500 Kcal per day is called starvation

I am not recommending you eat that way it is an ungodly small amount for 10 mos out.  Perhaps you are taking in calories without knowing it. 

I would suggest recording everything that goes in your mouth, keeping calories around 1000, keep your protein high and your carbs low (even a 100 cal pack Will increase your cravings for carbs)  and increasing your activity.


Keep working at it.  The less you have to lose the harder it is to lose it.

when you say turkey burger was that a turkey patty or a burger with bun,,,i am not sure which pretzels you are eating but the carb on the snyders i looked at were 20g's of carb yes they were only 100 colories,but the carbs would have stopped me in my tracks,,once i start eating carbs it's like a big rollercoaster for me so i try to stay away from them.

you are not taking in enough colories for one and two it doesn't seem to me like your getting enough protien either.
