  1. Ive read about the stall on here and thought well I hope I dont get one of those or if I do it doesnt last too long.... When I 1st started reading about the 3week stall I was like 'Nooooooooo'... And now going on my 3rd week Im mordified!! Ive been at 162lbs it seems as if forever. I was really hoping to be down to 155lbs or less by now. And I kno there's no time frame or exact amount of pounds u'll lose by a certain time BUT the way I had been going. I was just hoping to be a certain weight by my BIRTHDAY in 7 days. Dont look like thats gonna happen. Damn stall!!! Nonetheless, I look and feel great. Just wish the scale said the numbers I want to see and not this darn 162 again... Need this to pass already????
  2. Thx! Will try apply over damp skin and see how that goes. And, oddly enough I never buy moisturizers with pumps... I always thought that was weird of me, but good thing huh?!
  3. My skin is so dry and scaley... No matter how much lotion, vitamin e or olive oil my skin still drys up fairly fast and peels.. I hadnt had this problem prior to being sleeved in June. Is anyone else experience this? Looking for suggests on what can help...
  4. Weight: 162 (down 54lbs) Height: 5' Jeans: 10-12
  5. So Im 12 weeks out and Im losing the weight, although when I look in the mirror I dont see it. But my question is: Has anyone tried waist training? Do u think its too soon? I havent spoken to my surgeon yet, dont see him for 3 more weeks. And I dont feel as though I need to call him about this, figured I'd wait til I see him. But I was curious to know if anyone as tried/trying it. My midsection is the most stubbornest part of my body, and although its going down. Just not quick enough for me! Thought I might invest in a GenieWaist. Let me know what you guys think...
  6. Oh it slows down rather quickly... So as others before me has said, prepare yourself mentally for it. I started out as u alot very fast and now 12weeks its really starting to taper down, 2-3 lbs a week if. I started at 223lbs now at 162lbs... **G/W: 140lbs**
  7. Why is it that when I look in the mirror I dont see a difference. In my clothes I can see/feel the difference... The scale numbers are clearly lower... And ppl around me are constantly complimenting me on the weight loss. However, when I look in the mirror I dont see any difference. Is that wierd?? I started out at 223lbs and 12 weeks later Im at 162lbs but I swear when I look in the mirror Im still the fat girl who weighs 223lbs. Am I always gonna see her??
  8. I am 12 weeks post surgery and I find myself constantly on the scale. Ive always had a scale in my bathroom, just because. But I now think I need to throw it away or atleast hide it. I find myself weighing myself daily. And, depending on what the scale tells me determines how good of an day Im going to have. I find myself setting these most outlandish goals each month, which I havent met one. I am losing weigh and it feels great! I didnt expect to get off the operating table and be a size 5 again, I know it takes time and work. But my obsession with this scale is playing tricks on my mind and not allowing me to appreciate the progress that Ive made. I constantly say Im just gonna throw the scale away or move it from the bathroom so its not always there in my face... But I never do. And then I tell myself Im not getting on it today but I do it anyways. When does this obsession with my current weight end? Hopefully when I reach my goal.
