Yes let's stop talking about the "3 week stall"

Around here and start talking about the more serious 6th month stall!

I have been at the same weight for about a month.... :(

Same boat here. I just have to hope that our bodies are playing catch up and will start up the loss again.

Girl all I know is my family is sitting here eating stuffed pizza and I'm eating a plain Greek yogurt with blueberries... And tomorrow I will weight the same I'm sure... I hit 171 and I stay there or go up a pound or two on a daily basis for a month now.. I'm getting a treadmill on Thursday. Maybe if I just walk all day on it I'll start losing again..

I'm just days away from my 6 month anniversary of surgery. The weight loss has s l o w e d WAY down, and when I do lose it's .2 or .4. I can feel frustrated at times, because I am exercising and following the food guidelines. I usually drink 9 to 11 8 oz glasses of Water a day, plus some herbal tea and 8 oz of fat free milk a day.

I had to do some 'self-talk' and tell myself (repeatedly & usually when I am on or just off the scale!!) that this is a life long journey. If I keep following this way of life, the weight will come off. I feel better than I ever have and that in itself is a great thing.

When I walk before dinner with my husband (trying to get him to live a healthier lifestyle) he works to keep up with me. That was not the case prior to the surgery or lifestyle changes.

I believe that we will get to our weight goals and along the way we reach other goals, like moving easier, feeling more energetic, wearing smaller clothes, being healthier, getting off medications and feeling so much better about ourselves.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
