I hear you!!! I haven't lost a pound since jan7. I was sleeved Dec 20..I can't help but wonder if my stall is related to me joining the gym around that time...I do probly a combined 1.5 excercise 3/4 times a week...I do jogging/walking intervals for around 30 and the elliptical for another 15 then.lift light weights 3 sets of 15 reps on numerous machines...I'm getting seriously sad:-(.. now o havbt been to the gym all week because schools been cancled for my daughter cuz of snow..when I check the scale Monday it better have moved or I'm going back to nothing but shakes and water..

I just want to make the most of the firstb6 months..I'm trying really hard.oooff..this is exhaustingg..I'm putting the scale away til Monday...I'll let u know if it moved or if I'm on liquid thenn.lol

I wanted to improvemy quality of life..period..I wasn't sick.or diabetic or any pressure issues..but I was miserable..I couldn't and wasnt enjoying any of the things a young mother should enjoy..I started a new career and almost turned down a promotion because I didn't want to fly and be embarrassed in any ay about my size on the plane..I wanted to drivemy husband wild instead of feeling lie we just have sex because we love eachother....I want to go on a cruise and go rock climbing and repelling and ride carnival rides.....I could go on and on...ool

Idk why its bumming me out so much...I think I'm scared its over for me or something...

If this stall isn't over by Monday I'm considering going back to liquids only for a few weeks..I've been the same weight since Jan 7th..(the day I started soft foods)..I'm working my but off in the gym..and I'm really getting discouraged ..:-(

Thanks ladies! Its gonna be hard to "UN brainwash" myself..I'm so used to assuming I need the largest size or automatically look for the plus section at the store..I'm so grateful for my sleeve and I could have just melted in the floor? WHen my daughter said loudly in the full dressing room.." mommy that's not going to work..since you got skinny you can't wear those big lady clothes no more"...and trust me her loud 7 year old mouth has not always been so flattering..haha..

Although in a stall since Jan 7th..I am officially out of plus sizes...went to kohls today...where I was previously a 2x..today I tried a 1x..swimming in it...carefully wandered to the regular sizes and walked away with a cute XL top and a pair of 18 rockstar skinnies from old navy and 16 from the gap..great way to close out the weekend!

I'm usually cold now ...which is funny because I used to fuss at my husband for touching the thermostat and making me hot..now I'm always making him get up to turn up the heat cuz I'm freezing!

OK..I wont be overrun with guilt if it happens again...5.3 oz just seemed like a lot..but awesome protien and low calories..:-)

I definitely know full..it squeezes and hurts and comes with hiccups and belching sometimes...lol...but the yogurt today..maybe I just ate too fast

I used to sweat easily..like especially during sex..lol gross I know...but not anymore...

I just ate a whole cup if Greek yogurt..and looked on the side and realized that's 5.3 oz! Can you guys eat a whole one?

Thanks for the support ...what do you suggest I add to increase calories ...? So far I've really only been fitting in the protien..eggs..Turkey sausage..reduced fat cabbot cheese..Greek light and fit yogurt...shredded chicken breast..soy burgers.

I'm stuck..I'm fed up with it...I'm busting my butt in the gym 4 days a week..lots if protien and water and sugar free liquids..taking multi vitamin..iron..calcium. citrate and b12 drops...geezz.BTW today is my one month surgiversary....stuck...bummed..

In the hospital the juice..even though watered down because of the sugar made me really nauseous and gave me heaves..I never vomited but now I steer completely clear of juice..just a thought..alng with others in taking a PPI which I'm sure you already do. Hope you feel better! Almost forgot! Iced decaf tea with sweet n low ....really helped me get in liquids week 1.

I felt like that for 3 weeks after surgery...I started calcium and iron suppliments in addition to multivitamin when she started me on soft foods and I don't get it anymore..thank goodness too cuz that was scarey!

I would love a pet! That's a great idea...now..only to get the other half to agree!

I had about 10 spree tart candies this evening..just a confession...they were delicious...I'm gonna blame pms..hopefully my body will accept that bit of sugar graciously and put an end to this stall already.

Fine..not five

I think your right..I wore jeans today that fit five last week at the same weight ..today they are saggy and ugly..lol

Funny u mention that recipes etc..I'm finding that I'm very disinterested in food..creating recipes and cooking would frustrate me I think..like to put a bunch of time into something I can only take two bites of ...LOL rather just drink my shake and keep it moving..maybe my answer is going to be more like running up my credit cards on new smaller clothes..haha!

Got my dannon light and fit Greek at aldis today 89 cents and try had the strawberry cheesecake and the caramel machiato one someone mentioned earlier

Any suggestions? I need something to occupy my free time..I used to coupon but that turned into more work than fun..I'm not big on reading..what do people do?
