I don't know if I'm the only one who gets EXTREMELY annoyed when reading complaints about alleged "stalls". *sigh* sometimes I feel empathy for folks but most times I feel extreme aggravation. Listen folks...we aren't gonna lose weight every day or every week for that matter. If that was the case we would lose 365 lbs in a year! This surgery was not intended to be a "quick fix". I personally don't believe in "stalls". Have I experienced weeks of no loss??? SURE! What did I do to "break my stall"? NOTHING!!! Im 8 month's out and still follow my doctors orders and exercise...REGULARLY. That's it...that's all! When the numbers don't move I don't give into fear...I simply "stay the course". I really get dissappointed when I read about folks being taking on an emotional roller coaster by the scale. If you are eating what you're suppose to be eating and exercising like you're suppose too...YOU WILL LOSE!!!! This is not a race...its a lifelong journey. Our main goal should be to optimize our health and live better lives..not chasing a number on a scale or a size. We have to have the mindsets of those who've lost weight and maintain healthy lifestyles without surgery! I hope I don't sound harsh or judgemental...that's not my intention. I just want to encourage those who are feeling down about the "sta lls" or "slow loss" not to give up! I send my "cyber love" to all of you!

Lol, I'm on my day before surgery liquids so right now i would eat the wrapper.

I love the smell of pop tarts in the toaster.....especially the fall pumpki n pie ones.

i love the peanut butter one commercial.funnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Yes they do around halloween. Amazing.

so funny, today on my local support group website, the administrator sent a post out saying some people were annoyed with back and fourth conversations about surgery and vitamins, they are just getting too much mail, they can't handle it so they want out of the forum, so she told us to cut it back... and now this.. do people go to support groups to hear crickets singing... maybe they do .. I must read a hundred posts on constipation and I still open each one because I am looking for that one answer that will help with mine. call me a dreamer.

I hear if you eat one it can break a stall..

Can they help with constipation ????

I think the complainers should just go be by themselves.

Everyone is complaining. Just about different things.

Can they help with constipation ????

No....but a small bowl of mudslide ice cream will.

Lmao

Guess you could try a prune flavored yogurt. Yum yum.

Lol-- my sentiments exactly!

I'm one of those stall whiners almost 9 weeks out and have gone up and down so much in the last 7 weeks' date=' it's been crazy!!! Saw my surgeon last week for my 2 month appt and according to her charts I had only lost 10 since my pre-op appt. she started talking about how we maybe should have done bypass. :-( I was pretty demoralized.

BUT, what I have noticed is that every time I come here and vent those fears something happens and my weight starts to move again. I don't know if its the switch ups people suggest, the support I'm given, psychological or if I pay more attention to what I'm doing or what but something happens. I can officially say I'm back to my lowest weight post sleeve and I'm hopeful that the downward trajectory will continue!
