I know everyone has stalls. I know everyone says drink water and be patient. But I'm so frustrated! I haven't lost anything, and maybe even gained a little, in 8 days! I am down 20 pounds in one month but almost all of that was the first 2 weeks!
I'm having trouble getting water in. I've tried it plain, I've tried it with no calorie flavoring. I can't even get 20 0z. a day! (Note: I haven't been weighing myself daily, just checked it today to see how I was doing.)
I'm trying to get my protein in but even that is hard. I still can't really find a brand of protein shake I like. My nutritionist says 2 shakes a day and 3 small meals mostly protein. Some days I get the 60 grams they recommend, some days I'm about 30. I'm eating things like chicken, shrimp, cottage cheese, string cheese, eggs. All things that my nutritionist and doctor have on my allowed list. I'm not cheating a lot. I did have a few cheese puffs one day and 2 skittles one day, but in general, I'm being good. I did try some turkey bacon and that seemed okay in my tummy but I felt awful the next day, so I won't do that again.
I'm a month out and I still don't have much energy. I also still have some muscle pain on the right side, but it is improving, finally! Yesterday was a tough day fatigue wise. I average between 4 and 500 calories a day. You would think my body would be looking for energy somewhere!
Any suggestions before I go crazy?? I feel like crying. I didn't do all of this for 20 pounds!
