Your body has been traumatized
Give your body time to recover. It has been traumatized and it wants to hang on to everything it has, fat, organs, skins, fluid, anything. It will come off. Do not make the mistake, however, of thinking that if you just eat less calories it will make it come off faster. If you don not give your body what it needs to heal itself and the fule to run its engine, it will not do what it is supposed to do. You need to be getting in a heck of a lot more than 250 calories a day. Your body will stay in starvation mode on 250 calories and store anything it can get as fat. It will munch on its own muscle tissue before it will burn that fat. Get your protein in, get at lest 750 calories a day, drink that water, and get lots of sleep. Stop stressing, and do what everyone told you to do about staying off the scale. The scale is only your friend at the doc's office for the whole first year. Until you can lern to make friends with one at home and to have some self control with it, you should just get rid of it. You will drive yourself crazy. Take more interest in how you feel, how your clothes fit, what you can do. The scale is not the be all and end all. You can still be shrinking radically and not even see the scale move, so go with the shrinking! The body is a weird thing. Give it a littel time to get with the program here.
Hang in there. Let us all know how you're doing.
