17 Weeks Post-op Today! (Scale Pic Included)

Jun 02, 2011

Today I'm back to 299 lbs and I'm on day 3 of back to basics, liquids only, shock the sleeve regiment. Although I've lost a considerable amount of weight, I have been losing slower lately and really fighting the stalls. I don't really understand why my metabolism is so hyper reactive to solid foods but the reality is that IT IS! All it took was a small diversion like eating 5 oz of ribeye steak last Sunday to derail my weight loss and plunge me back into yo-yo mode. But by switching back to the liquids only, keeping daily intake extremely low carb (40 gm or less), & the old low calorie bitch slap (about 500 calories) always seems to work for me. I don't plan on going off the "liquids only" regiment until I hit 295. That way when my metabolism stalls again and I rebound up a few pounds I'll still be below 300. I didn't take an updated week 17 photo yet but I will do it soon and add it to my pics album.
Keep the faith!.... Craig
