I stall at week 2 and not 1 oz lost since then. Trying to keep my chin up but enough is enough.

Doubled my intake

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.
