Let me begin by saying if you are looking for advice on how to break your stall don't read any further. I am fourteen months out. Only lost about a pound from November to February. Total of 105. Wasn't stressing too much(most of the time). I had beaten the 60/70 percent loss and was in the 80 percent. My goal was is 175 lbs. Not a "healthy" BMI but something I thought was attainable for me. Am eating around 1100 to 1200 calories a day. Going to gym three days a week. Getting 80 grams of protein and 64 ounces of water a day. I was starting to think that maybe 190 was were my body wanted to be. I have always had back pain. I have very large breasts. My primary care doctor thought this was contributing to the back pain along with the extra weight. Well, the weight came off and my back pain got worse. I went to see a plastic surgeon on the 6th of January. He called me on the twelfth and said my insurance will pay for a breast reduction and lift so I scheduled the surgery for February 18th. I decided to have my upper/lower eyelids done at same time. This doctor has a fully equipped operating room at his office. No hospital stay. All out patient. I was scheduled for a 12:30 start. I knew that I wasn't going to weigh myself on Saturday morning like I normally do so I weighed before going to the doctor's. 190 lbs like the last three months. Had surgery and was home by 5:30. I only ate a bowl of soup that day. The pain pills make me nauseous. By the next morning only taking extra strength Tylenol so I was not quite back to eating normal but close. I was feeling good by Monday(5 days later) so I decided to get on the scale. It read 185. What! I lost five pounds! That can't be right. Normally I only weigh myself once a week but I knew that wasn't right so I weighed myself on Tuesday. 183. Ok I was seriously confused. Had my one week check up with the plastic surgeon on Wednesday. Asked him how much did you take off? He said almost four pounds. I was down seven pounds by Tuesday. Got on the scale on Friday. 180. Sunday(last week) 178. Wednesday 176. Today 175. I have reached my goal. That means 15 pounds in two weeks. I am freaked out. Called my nutritionist to talk about this. Haven't been to the gym since February 16th. I asked her what the heck? She said maybe the stress of the surgery jumped started my weight loss again. I have not changed my ticker yet. It can't be real.
