I'm kidding of course.... Just frustrated. I shouldn't be, but I am.

I am 30 days out tomorrow from being sleeved. I've lost a total of 22 lbs post sleeve. My scale hasn't moved in almost 3 weeks though!!!

I have no right to be upset.... Just tired of getting on the scale in hopes of seeing it move in be right direction but it won't! I'm doing everything to the letter and I'm beginning to get discouraged. I've been tracking my calories every day... Staying right at or just below my calorie budget. I'm getting a decent amount of fluids in (not quite up to 64 oz yet), AND I've been taking the dogs on nice walks every evening!

I'm not looking for major poundage everyday either.... I would be happy if it was only ounces... As long as it was moving!

(sigh)

I've already had all the rational talks with myself about how I'm only 4 weeks out.... And I need to give my body a chance... Blah Blah Blah... I think its everyone at work who have been my cheerleaders thru all of this whenever they see me asking me how many pounds I've lost.... Its so hard to answer them with the same # as it was 2 weeks ago.

Anyway.... I just needed to get that off of my chest. I need to break this stall one way or another!!

Please remember to loose weight you must eat - lesser calories than you are supposed to eat while keep you in a stall as you body goes into starvation mode.

Please don't believe if you starve you will loose it is the farthest thing from the truth.

I don't have any motivational wise words, but I just want to say that I LOVE what you just wrote because I eat more calories PRE op in one meal probably, than you do in a whole day! I can't WAIT for this surgery!!

Well its now almost 7 months and only 56lbs. So can I officially admit defeat?

So what has happened? Have you just given up? You can admit defeat if you chose defeat. You are not winning, you are riding down the sneeky side and not working your sleeve. Remember that it is a tool to use to lose the weight. Don't give up you are worth so much more than this; where you are. Don't you want to meet your goal weight?

Get back to your basics, get a "diet" buddy, join a diet group, pull up those big girl pants and get to it!!! I now that you can, summer is just about here and so are cute sundresses and bikinis!!

Set some major goals for yourself and dive in, you CAN be successful!!

You've lost 2lbs a week, every week, for the last seven months. Doesn't sound like failure to me.

@Amazon13 No at 7months I lost a total of 56lbs. No I have not given up. But yes, definitely feel defeated.

My doctor said you continue to lose weight for 18 months. Everyone loses at a different rate. You can't give up. We all have invested time and money to help us with the weight lost. It doesn't fall off on its own. Join the gym, I started going and I feel so good. Don't give up!

Well its now almost 7 months and only 56lbs. So can I officially admit defeat?

So what have you tried to change up? More calories? Fewer calories? More protein? A different/more intense exercise regiment? If your truly in a 3 month stall, do SOMETHING different. What does your nutritionist advise?

56 lbs divided by 7 months is 8 lbs average per month which equals to 2 lbs a week.

You may not have lost it that way, but it's still averages out that way.

Give yourself a break. You're losing. You're not losing as fast as you would like, but you're not gaining. If you're eating a lot of carbs, that's the first place to cut, and get in as much exercise as you can. Then just tell yourself you're doing the best you can !

You're absolutely right Ore. Since my post I have gotten some great uplifting responses. And I thank those who have helped me look at this in a more positive light. So im officially 60lbs down now. Lol unless the scale is playing tricks on me.
