My husband is same way as well as my adult son living back home. They have no compassion on what I am having to do. So the other day in the midde of cooking something I know I can't have I put the cooking utensils down went in while they were just laying in the couch watching TV like always and said I was done. I refuse to cook what I can't eat so if you want to eat cook it yourselves. Gave them the utensils and walked away.

There really needs to be a support group for people who are addicted to scales ha!! I cant stay away from mine. I just hate it!!!

Fear not! All part of the process. Stay focused on following the protocol, stay active (love the mall walking - walking is walking and it's so important to find something that you enjoy in the process!!), and stay away from the scales for at least a week and more if you can stand it.
Sometimes increasing your Protein to a 100g a day for a few days will jump start your metabolism and cause your body to start burning stored fuel. How many calories are you eating on a daily average? If they are too low your body can interpret it as a famine state and it starts to conserve fuel in response. If you think that might be the case, increasing your calorie intake a little may result in the pounds starting to come off again.
No matter what, as odiemom said, trust the process. If you just keep doing what you're doing, the stall absolutely, positively will pass! The laws of the universe cannot be denied!! Lol!

Be patient with yourself and the process. We all went through something like this. Your body just had surgery and has to take a break to heal and adjust to the losses experienced. Each of us do this stall at different times and for different lengths of time and for some of us it happens often. But guaranteed your weight will start dropping again soon and if you are following the rules (i.e. enough Protein, sleeping, eating right, exercising and drinking enough water) there is no way you will not lose this weight. Honestly at your stage it will not stop. I had a major stall in the second month for almost 3 months, that included gaining weight. Heck, I just gained back almost 2 pounds in the last couple days. Am I frustrated yes, but I now know it will start up again and to just keep on plugging away. I even raised my excercise level and still gained. It is what it is and your body is doing what it has to handle all the changes. We did not lose this overnight and it is unrealistic to expect it to happen that quickly (I remember being lectured with that same quote and boy did it annoy me at the time lol), so reevaluate your goals and expectations and stop worrying. You are doing awesome, you have lost a lot of weight already and it will come off and you will love the new you, we promise!!
Three months out from surgery today and have lost halfway to my goal weight even with all the stalls and weight gains I keep experiencing. OH!! measure yourself everywhere and write it down, then every week check those measurements because those change even when you are not losing weight and it is nice to see that progress as well.
best of luck and keep strong it is worth it!!

Don't get freaked out.... we all go thru it. I am stuck right now for the past 3 wks. I am 5 months post op so I increased my exercise. In the beginning I also had a week at times where I did not loose. This happens to lots of people don't get discouraged. The best thing you can do is exercise, get a real good sweat going, maybe purchase a heart rate monitor where it tells you what zone you are in. I realy on a heart rate monitor when I jog so I know I am in the fat burning zone. Good luck and you will be just fine.... I know it is frustrating !!!

Had my endoscopy today and finally completed all my pre-op testing requirements!!! This is big news because man, did my surgeon require a lot! I still have 3 more weigh-ins to go, but it's getting closer!!

1 more pound to loose until I hit the ONEDERLANDS So excited!!

Was reading & posting and noticing no one is gonna be fat in the world LMFAO. Everyone is looking sexy with curves beautiful smiles. The guys all handsome. I'm loving it!!! Good job everyone!

Its here!!! I bought one for my aniversary date night. I look amazing...first time ive felt beautiful in a while. I can walk in room and feel confident.

I used the frozen ones and they were fine, no seeds really.

I would try a small amount & see if it agree with me.

I was told no but when I talked to a friend who had surgery 2 days after me, she had been doing strawberries in her Protein all along. & with straw she said it was the "only way" she could get it down.
Try it see if you can handle it

Hey everyone

Well I'm pooping pellets like a rabbit..it's pretty annoying.

Thanks so much. Surgery was 6/19. I've lost almost 50 pounds. Went from a size 30 to a 26. Still a Long way to go, but I feel so good now at 50 years old.:-)

Excellent. Pillows helped me a few days post op by just hugging it into my tummy and laying on my side. Here's to restful nights!

No I don't but I was able to finally get some rest by sealing everyone's spare pillows and lining some up behind and in front of me. I felt like I was in one of those baby positioners! Lol
Thanks

Do u have a body or a king size pillow? I slept on my side with a king size pillow. Miracle!!!

Awesome!

Happy birthday!!! What a wonderful news that you are feeling younger than your number!

My weight finally moved!!!! I am so happy about how wonderful my experience has been. Other than than 5 - 6 wk stall, I couldn't be better. I am 9wks out. I have never vomited or dumped. I have been able to eat out with my friends with no issues. Other than gas at the beginning, I have had little to no

pain. I have been able to eat everything, I've tried with no issues. (I don't get crazy, though.) I'm just thanking God for favor.........and I loved shopping before but I love it even more now!!!!!

Im scared, but then as I was trying things on and it hung on.me like draps I was like ok. Your gone, and NOT coming back. It was a bit relieving to say goodbye to curtains and draps aka my big clothes.

Already walked 'around block" twice. Sitting up waiting on my 10 am ice. WOOHOO

Took my first stroll around my bed a few minutes ago. Everything went well. Im so excited. Have not had anything by mouth since 10 pm last night. I can have ice in the morning a 10Am...... so far so good.
