awesome

Stay away from restaurants, fast foods, etc, try to stay away from your kitchen as much as possible. Remember it's two weeks and it should go by fast. Drink lots of water. Keep yourself busy. If u are really struggling , go take a bubble bath and listen to soothing music. Remember "This too shall pass ". Blog us if u need support ..we r here to help.

Carlotta1, thanks for the encouragement!! I'm staying out of my kitchen as much as I can and no restaurants for this lady. In fact, my super supportive husband is taking the kids out to eat for these 2 weeks just so I won't have to smell food cooking.....he's the best

thank you all sooooo much!! great words of wisdom, another reason I love this site. I'm just taking this process one day at a time, minute by minute

Oh ok???? Never heard of it?

Non-Scale Victories...oops!

LMAO thats a big difference!!!

glad things continue to go well - overdoing it?? KNOCK it off!!LOL good luck

Suffered that same frustration today. I totally feel your pain!

It happens to most of us. Stalls. There are a lot of posts that relates to this . Search this topic to read on bariatric pal to see how people dealt with it. But just know it is normal.. So don't get disappointed. Look at the big picture. If you following the eating protocol..the excess weight will come off.

thank you

I don't remember if it was that long...but my husband will tell you it was FOREVER before we could lol

As long as I could!! LOL

Good job! Keep it up!

YOU'RE AWESOME KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Thank you, thank you for all of your support! It really means a lot to me. I am now realizing I CAN DO THIS! I am DOING THIS! It is becoming so surreal! Thank you!

Make it burn girly, thats when you know your doing it right!!! hahahaha, lol have fun!!!

the payoff with be worth it

I know it will be worth it, but today is my day to go and I can feel every step - geez! LOL

Agreed with both above... You are doing great... a little over 4lbs a week is something to be EXCITED about!!! Dont beat yourself up - you got this!!!

Be happy with your weight loss. And grateful that u are in your way to a healthier , more energetic life. 4 pounds average per week Is great. Just don't focus on the number of pounds lost. Focus on new found energy,, new eating habits that will help you keep your any excess weight off.., etc etc.

Thank you all....I am more frustrated I guess that I feel stuck in a rut. I have not lost a lb in almost 3 weeks now. I hired a personal trainer who kills me 3 days/week but have still not seen the scale budget. I know TMI, but my bowels don't work much anymore so I am trying to figure out something that will make them start working again. I think that may be why I am not really losing because I can still tell that my clothing is getting loser almost daily.

good to hear!! and congrats to you

Congrats on your surgery. Keep us posted on your progress. I am sure you will do great.

you will do just great!!! keep the faith!!!

i look at it this way... i am down 72lbs in 4 1/2 months... when have i EVER been able to say that??? NEVER... so if i am at a stall for a few weeks... then so be it, it wont be forever... So i am going to try to shake it up a bit, and do my "pre-op" diet for the next 2-3 days... keep strong - we will get through this together!!

I only lost 2lbs this week. Maybe it's because I wasn't drinking the water like I should. Need to flush out the FAT! I think our bodies are still out of whack and wondering what it should be doing. Drink drink drink....walk walk walk. :-)

Nevermind. Lost 3 pounds and stalled again. So day #4 of stall #2.

(Hi Robin!!!)

AMAZING!! You must be SO proud of yourself. That is just so great!!
