eating too little?
Slimfast does make a high protein Low Carb drink...20 grams of protein and 2 "net" Carbs for the vanilla cream - the calories are 180.
I have never tried them - but the numbers look right IF that is the Slimfast you have.
You will snap out of the stall, don't worry about that. I had my first stall at 6 months and it lasted a month. Take measurments as you may still be losing inches, just not pounds.
Good luck!

I'm using the high protein/low carb Slim-Fast with 20 g protein per shake. My doctor uses these for the 2 week pre-op diet as well and that's the only protein shake I have found that I could tolerate. Maybe I will try thinning it down a little. I also thin out the cream of chicken soup about 3 to 1 with chicken broth so it is alot thinner than you would normally eat it.
My doctor also allows ONLY liquids for 21 days - no jello, pudding, yogurt, mashed potatoes, or cream cereals - those are too thick at this stage.
Thanks for all your encouragement and advice. I'll keep plugging away and pay more attention to my water intake and protein.
Have a great weekend everyone!
