4 Week Stall?

CALLING IN ALL THE VST STALLERS:

Anybody had a stall for 4 weeks? If so how did you move on from it?

I'm 8 weeks out. Lost 10Kgs (22 pounds) with ease in my 1st 4 weeks. However, the next 4 weeks after going from liquids to mushies - the scale has not moved and is doing my head in.

Okay, so I need to get moving more, which I have been doing anyway and will up the liquid/water intake as much as I can, and monitor Protein intake more carefully. Am just feeling sorry for myself as this feels as though it will never end! I have been more compliant with my Sleeve than I ever was with my band.

Today is a new record for me. No chocolate for 9 weeks. That's never happened before! Eish!!! (Zulu word for WOW!).

My worst fear is that I paid all this money to revise from band to sleeve only to lose 10Kgs and not lose anymore ever... I love love love my Sleeve. Just want to lose lose lose as well.

Hey Carrin,

So you are 8 weeks out now? Stall are normal, I'm afraid, they are a pain in the A*&$ and I have had a few myself!

Best thing to do is try to rid it out... make sure you are drinking plenty of water; that was usually the issue for me!! Remeber that you are still in the early stages yet and your body is adjusting. A lot of peeps on here will suggest that you mix things up a little; perhaps add some more cals, take a check on your carbs, exercise etc!

Have you taken measurements... that is what I focused on when my weight loss stopped... I lost a lot of inches and no weight!!

Oh, and well done re the choc...lol

Keep your chin up and I am sure it will come off again soon :rolleyes:

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
