YAY! Drinking more water yesterday finally broke my stall. Down 1.8 lbs. Back to 276. 12/29/17, I began lower carbs. I began LCHF 1/30/18. I have lost a total of 16 lbs.
Yesterday, I began taking my probiotics again, pill form (Dr Tobias) and am no longer constipated. That with increasing my water intake did the trick.
Thank you to everyone who cared and supported me during my rough patch. I appreciate it soooo very much!
Last night my physician responded to my 2/21/18 message: diet issues; stall, fatty liver inflammation. This is what she said to my total weight loss of 14 lbs at the time:
RE: Diet Issue LCHF
Wow! You are working hard!!! Great job.
Fatty liver is not stalling you. You are fixing it by doing this!
Constipation:
Eat a high fiber diet (20-25 g a day) - get psyllium tablets! and adequate hydration (6-8 glasses of water a day).
- Miralax (1 tablespoon/capful of powder mixed with water 2x a day). Follow this with 2 glasses of water.
- Citrucel 2 tablets daily.
- Use Dulcolax suppositories and Mg citrate as needed for rescue therapy.
I am impressed!

Moondove WalMart sells a product called Clearlax that is virtually tasteless that is the same active ingredient as Mirilax without the nasty taste. You might keep it on hand just in case. The probiotics are always a great idea and you have a good doctor if they are supporting the WOE and suggesting psyllium seed and Magnesium Citrate! LOL both are excellent additions to most diets!🙋🏻
