I didn't have a stall at week 3 like everyone told me I would. I am currently stalled though and have been for about a week and a half.

Had a follow up appointment with my Nut on Friday and she suggested that I eat more and to drink more. I'm supposed to email her on Friday and tell her if the scale is moving for me. The whole being stuck thing is kinda frustrating but it is what it is, not gonna stress about it. Just wish it would have waited a few weeks since my 20 year reunion is at the end of next month. Would be nice to be able to buy a dress and know it will still fit when it's time to wear it!

I stall a LOT. I think I stall for half the time, and the other half of the time, I lose little bits. During my first 90 days, I spent 39 of those in sold stalls.

Despite that, I've gone from a size 18/20 in jeans to 12/14 and from a 2x to a L in tops in 4 months. So I guess it's going to come off, just not according to my preferred pace. The first two times I freaked even though I understood what was happening. Now I'm like, meh. Whatever.

I mean, what would I change anyway? I'm already doing what I should.

I had my surgery Nov 6, which tomorrow makes 3 weeks...and have been stalled for then past two weeks! So irritating! I know my BF % has gone down a lot because I measure with an Omron machine weekly. But still...! I go see my surgeon next week and hopefully will be past this!

I have an Omron as well and those things tell the real story.....not the scale. The scale will eventually move for you, trust in that. But if the Omron is showing you progress now, you're doing it right. Keep it up.

Are you all talking about the handheld one that looks like a video game controller! There's one at my gym that I like to use.

Yep....that's what I have. I had mine measured yesterday by the trainer with the calipers, and the number she got was very close to my Omron. I'd still like to get measured by one of those bod pods. They are very accurate.

My trainer did the calipers too and it was really close as well. He told me that you have to be well hydrated to get a good reading, but that's not too difficult these days.

What the heck is an Omron? I must google!

Ok, I googled.... how does that thing measure body fat if you're holding it in your hands?? Interesting.

It sends electrical impulses I believe through your body as you hold it. Some kinda weird magic.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
