Stall :(. Can Others Share Their Stories.



Recommended Posts

My 2+ week stall ended today. I was drinking the required Water but noticed I wasn't sweating at the gym. Even after 45 mins of cardio. I think I was retaining every ounce. I do led my intake and lost 3 pounds from yesterday. I guess I will be drinking all day! You will get through it!

I'm 8 weeks and hit "onederland" about a week or so ago? Can't remember. I have been bouncing from 199-201 since then. Just fluttering like a little butterfly.

Here's the good news. I'm 1-2 sizes smaller than when I started. I am exercising again after that restriction being lifted two weeks ago. I have restriction in my stomach but am able to eat (I probably eat more than most; about 900 calories most days.) I am blessed that I have not had any issues with recovery and my health.

When I get a little crazy in my head, and start beating myself up for eating "so much" or going over 900 calories (the arbitrary number I have set for myself that allows me to get in my Protein, etc.) then I also have to take a giant step back and really think about it. My light days before WLS were twice this many calories and a lot of unhealthy foods. I am doing amazing work here and I have to trust that my body will get with the program.

I like the idea of pauses. We are taking over control of our bodies and our lives and everything is adjusting. Be strong! Have faith.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
