Finally broke my stall!



Recommended Posts

I decided to go back to shakes because I'd been in a stall for over a month now. I have one shake for Breakfast, Protein for lunch, another shake between lunch and dinner and a small dinner. I couldn't fully commit to the shakes only because I was having flashbacks to the 2 week liquid only phase. I also upped my Water because I was slacking. I was only getting 40 of the 60 oz in.

SO the last 2 days I've been in the bathroom every 30 minutes and I've also lost 3 lbs! [emoji1316]

I feel so much better knowing that the scales moving even though I know I shouldn't rely on the scale to make me feel good. My clothes are falling off, but the scale going down makes me feel better! [emoji23][emoji23]

I think the weightloss is due to the increasing Water, not drinking enough can cause you to retain water. I do not think it had anything to do with just doing shakes, but congrats. :)

I don't care what caused it, as long as it's happening haha! And I'm not hungrier than I would be if I was having my hard boiled egg for breakfast so that's good. But seriously, I was reading a lot about it and the water is the magical helper to weightloss. It's just so hard to drink so much!

The struggle is so real! It's hard to always always be on track but if you know how to reel it in, I think you're doing ok! (That goes for everyone, not pointing fingers). I know I've eaten a couple things I shouldn't, like I snuck some breadcrumbs (1/4 cup) into a batch of 30 chicken meatballs. Is it going to kill me? No. Could I live without it? Probably. We have to adapt!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
