The scale finally moved!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved April 7th and dropped 23 lbs VERY fast. Then nothing. I kept reading about the three week stall and just tried to believe that it would start up again, but I was getting very discouraged. I was weighing everyday and would be anywhere from 249 to 251. This past weekend I went out of town so I couldn't weigh (and didn't need to). I just focused on Protein and fluids and did A LOT of walking. I weighed this morning - 242! Hallelujah!!!

Take that scale out back and hit it with a sledge hammer...This is not about numbers hun. This is about getting healthy and changing the way you see food...numbers can really play with your head as you well know. Don't forget we are women and we go up and down like yo yo's .So if you are following numbers you will get discouraged....

I know I am different from most people on here. I am 17 months out and never experienced a stall. Why? Because I have only weighed myself maybe 5 or 6 times. Most of the time it has been at my doctors office... I have faith in what I am doing and follow the program. And it works for me.....I know I've lost by my clothes the way I feel. Things like that....

I don't know why I chose to do it this way. Probably when I get to maintenance I will weigh once a week...But for now...Nope I love the adventure more then the numbers... :)

This is so well said I'm scheduled for vsg May 9th and I want nothing to do with scales, I will go off of how my clothes fit, I read about too many people getting depressed over numbers on the scale even after they've acknowledged that their clothes fit looser, I don't want to be in this boat,if I stall I don't need to know about it if I know that I'm doing the right things.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
