This freaking Standstill



Recommended Posts

I think we all have these stalls as I was saying I've been at a stall as well I try not to get upset although it is quite frustrating but I know I'm doing what I'm suppose to so I just know it to shall pass so I just keep the faith and keep going I've got a goal and I'm gonna get there so just keep doing what your suppose to and you'll find the scale will start moving again!!!

@@Victoria bunnag. I bought prune juice, with pulp. I drink a full 8ozs right around 10pm. Works for me the next morning. Also, I don't dilute with Water.

I use 3 rounded tsp of benefiber twice a day and that helps keep me more regular, but then once in a while I get constipated even taking that, and need a dose of Miralax (I've tried MOM and the 'natural' remedies to no avail, so my RN said to go with Miralax).

I"m also fighting that urge to eat the wrong stuff or overeat other things, and the scale is up 1/5 lbs this week. Darn! I'm about deciding that I need to reset my food intake and calorie limits. The nutritionist said i'm not getting enough in (i was at 650 before I began eating dumb stuff!) and now am up to about 900-1000 when I count those darned Cookies or a chocolate or two...or three. It's head stuff I know, and so I need to revisit why and how I feel and what my best self feels like when I eat that and when I don't, and that they CAN be part of my life sometimes, but are NOT part of my daily plan if that plan is to continue to lose weight. I like losing weight, and how I feel when i am doing so - and I love feeling so much freer to live a good life in a more active body. I just need to remember that when staring sweets in the eye! Sigh.

We can do this - it's just not going to be easy. Don't mean we can't do it though!

When was your surgery and how much have you lost? Don't beat yourself up just get back up and go again! Just remember not to give in to those temptations a few minutes of enjoyment can cost you weeks or months of discouragement and disappointment but like I said don't be sooo hard on yourself your human there's gonna be good days and bad just try to make sure the good outweighs the bad!! Good luck!!!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
