I’m stuck in a slump. I didn’t have the dreaded three week stall but now at 8.5 weeks I’ve been stuck between 199-198. Since I started hitting the gym on September 22nd, since then nothing. And by hitting the gym I just mean treadmill/elliptical 45 min a day. I do see via pictures that things have changed since my heaviest I just wish the scale would “poo or get off the pot”

Stalls are just jerks!

OK...I too have experienced this stall after doing something similar at the gym. My nutrionist suggested alternating weight training and it worked.

Example: I "gym" 6 days a week

Monday, Wednesday, Friday - 1 hour cardio. I run, but you could elliptical or whatever

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday - 15 min cardio - 30 minute circuit (include arms, legs, abs) - 15 minute cardio

I thought he was crazy, but then I lost 16lbs in two months, so I'm full on listening at this point...lol

Thank you for the feedback!

Not a runner, my asthma just won’t let me. But I can walk!

I will give this a shot for sure. [emoji4][emoji1360]

Are you tracking your food? I recently have been much more tight about tracking and measuring my food. I was getting a little lax by grabbing a handful of this here and there or not measuring Condiments, etc. The scale is going down super fast now!

Unfortunately no, I haven’t been so good about tracking. I’m still in the soft food phase until next week. I will make an effort to be better about tracking food. [emoji20]

Oh I just realized you're 8 weeks out! I thought you meant you were in a stall for 8.5 weeks! This definitely happened to me around that time too. Once you're eating real food you'll have better movement on the scale. Since you're already working out and eating so little, your body is probably holding on for dear life at this point!

I was allowed to eat any food at 7 weeks, is real food coming for you soon?

Oh! Lol yes next week will be on to the regular food phase. I can’t wait to try some chicken and some heartier veggies.

Yes, STALLS SUCK! I have had 2 already at 3 and 6 weeks out. We still lose inches on those stalls anyway, so that is nice. You look great! Keep up the hard work!

Back off the exercise some or slow it down. Then up your Water, get your Protein. I have a high school friend that at age 44 is a size zero fitness guru. She told me weight loss is stressful on the body and putting it into starvation mode is the worst thing you can do. The key is lowering calories (done thanks to WLS) low key exercise to keep your metabolize up without stressing it out. She told me if you stress your body by weightlifting a lot or overdoing the exercise, things just shut down. So change it it up!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
