This is my PERSONAL OPIONON and has become my MANTRA for this JOURNEY. I was sleeved 11/14/12. Like many of us I was obsessed with the scale...elated with a loss and dissapointed when the numbers didn't change. I have personally decided not to weigh myself(only on follow up dr appts) I have been sticking to my eating plan and working out everyday. I hAve complete faith that I WILL REACH GOAL. I am no longer going to allow the numbers on the scale and these supposed "stalls" To EVER DISCOURAGE ME or make me think I'm going to fail. All I see ahead of me is victory! For those of you being discouraged by stalls....STOP IT. It's quite natural for our bodies to go through brief periods of "stalls". I cringe everytime I read a post about folks getting discouraged. In order for anyone to have 85% of their stomach removed they have had to have a lot of courage to begin with. So STAY ENCOURAGED...you WILL LOSE! :-) remember...this is not a race....it's a lifelong journey :-)

Thank you for your encouraging post....I have been very frustrated with my weight loss results since my gastric sleeve 4 months ago...after doing everything I could.....I finally opted for this surgery as a last attempt to loose weight. I am unable to exercise consistently as I have severe knee pain on both the legs.

Love the mentality. I need someone to take my scale away!

I'm sorry but I think your mistaken. Just yesterday I was at a restaurant and had to use the bathroom so I went into a stall..... I'm not crazy there was a stall... Or was there?!

Lol!!!

Love it. Both posts were awesome in attitude and info. I don't own a scale and just weigh when going to doc for check up.

I'm just trying to bump this thread back to the top
