Embrace Your Stall And Enjoy Your Success..inches Will Equal Lbs.



Recommended Posts

I have been in a stall for about 3 weeks, but I have notice inches coming off, but I will admit not seeing the scale move was internally driving me crazy!!! But I did enjoy buying smaller clothes even though the scale held steady at 214 lbs...

I kept going to the gym and working out, eating my Proteins first, drinking my liquids, etc.. just trying to stay positive and encouraged and BAM! I did my 8 wk post op weigh in and the scale read 210 lbs... down 22 lbs since surgery 39 total weight lost!!

So my bottom line is that inches will equal pounds and inches will get you in a smaller size before the scale catches up with you

look at you! You're rocking that sleeve! Go Girl!!! :) I agree with you that inches come off during stalls... and it's a great feeling! Sometimes we just have to take those pictures and LOOK at what our bodies are capable of doing, even when the scale isn't moving!! :)

I love this!!!!!

I had the same 3 week stall happen to me and it was soooo frustrating! Even though we are losing inches, there is something about that dang scale and its numbers that make it all the more real that the weight is coming off! I keep having to remind myself that I didnt gain it overnight and I am not going to lose it overnight! :)

Keep rockin' that sleeve! You look wonderful!!!!

The one main regret i have is not taking my measurements before WLS. Obviously they are so helpful - DH tried to help me take my measurements, but we were unsuccessful - holding the tape measure wrong - who knows. :(

I also had him try and take a before picture of me. Hmmmm , no success

one more regret is not doing a blog.

ok these are my confessions for the day - stay tune

BTW Bluebonnet, I agree you look absolutely terrific :)

ShannonH don't worry the sleeve won't fail u or should I say you won't fail the sleeve....stalls will happen some longer than others...and this may be TMI but whenever Aunt Flo is near the scale won't move either...that was my first stall, but this last one for 3 wks was a bummer but I knew it was gonna b temporary b/c I was following the plan.... Know & Believe in your success and you will have victory! Remember Proteins first....drink drink drink your liquids & keep moving & the scale will move!

Thank you ladies for your encouraging & kind words...It's really helping me..Size 14 here I come!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
