I Need Encouragement... Stall..



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved April 10. I was rockin on the weight loss (69 lbs so far!) until about 3 weeks ago. Now my scale won't budge. I am stuck. It is getting so frustrating. I am getting all my Protein, staying around 800 calories per day (never above 950) and exercising (elliptical and walking).

Am I done? I still have a long way to go (at least 60 lbs left). I need some encouraging..

you are definitely not done! i also had a stall about 3 months out that lasted a few weeks before the weight started to slip off again. it sounds like you are doing exactly what you need to be doing! The best advice I got was to pump up my weights and mix up my cardio routine. that helped me a lot! And congrats on the awesome weight loss so far, don't be discouraged we ALL go through it and think it is the end of our weight loss, and it never is! :)

Stalling is normal.. how is your carb count? I was stalled for about 6 weeks or so just recently. My nut told me to reduce my carbs to 30 or less and it broke! I lost 2 pounds over the weekend!

This is common. We all go through this process. Have you taken measurements of your body yet. If not, take a measuring tape and measure you neck, arms breast, waist, thighs, calves and hips. Then when in a stall, watch the inches just disappear. The scale is really not your friend right now. There are times when you won't lose any weight. I haven't lost much weight in the past few months, but my body is still adjusting in inches. It's kinda cool, but I still want the scale to show a loss. :( Now I am teaching myself to sit back an enjoy the ride. It will kick in and the lbs will start coming off. Stop, relax, and let it happen in your own bodies time frame. Enjoy the ride. Eat healthy and exercise. That is all you can do for now. :)

Thanks everyone.. My carbs are very low - I keep them below 40 for the day. I need to be patient. I know my body is reshaping itself because my clothes keep getting bigger. :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
