Getting Discouraged

OK, I have 2 weeks left until my surgery, and I've been on the complete fast for a week now. I was told that I would lose like 14 pounds in a week on this diet. And I swear, cross my heart, not kidding, that I've followed the diet to a T and I only lost 2 pounds in 4 days. What is going on? I have to lost 6 pounds in two weeks, and honestly, I was losing weight faster on the regular ketosis or aggressive diet. I don't understand and I'm getting a little frustrated. Not only is the complete fast not as tasty as the regular diet, but i don't get any solid foods hardly, and it's not working as well. Please can someone talk to me?

Girlfriend don't go getting discouraged on me. Call Chris or Jess first thing in the morning and tell them just what you posted here. Also don't weigh everyday because your weight fluctuates and it is discouraging. Are you drinking all your water? Are you retaining water? Is it that time of the month? I have faith in you that you can get 6 pounds off in 2 weeks. It's going to all be okay. Hang in there, okay Rita

I don't know if I'm retaining water, I'm not eating anything salty, and I usually don't retain. I'm getting all my water in, even more than 64 oz most days. I'm walking 45 minutes a day 5 days a week, and sticking to my diet like glue. It's just so annoying, you know? I'm so close to getting the surgery, I'm just afraid that my body is just rebelling or something.

Maybe your body is in starvation mode. Give it time I bet in a few more days you will be suprized.

Michelle, you may just have a little "starvation" thing going on. You're body will catch up with you. You Can and Will accomplish this.

Alright, I talked to Jess today, and she said that I was probably exercising too much for my calorie intake...I know weird right? I never thought there was such a thing as too much exercise, at least that I was able to do lol. Anyways, she said to increase my liquids and decrease my exercise a little, that way my body doesn't go into shock and just stop losing weight all together. I feel a little better since I talked to her, but I'm still stressed about losing the 6 pounds. She promised me I would, but for some reason, this whole surgery process has been the only thing I've found that can stress me out this much. I just want it to be done already

I'm glad you talked to Jess. Just relax, it's all going to come together. I'm pretty confident that the only way Dr. Walton wont do the surgery is if you gain weight. That's not going to happen!!!!  Sending you positive thoughts and good vibes, Rita
