Don’t get discouraged! We have all come a long way. Just remember that these stalls are completely normal and they will pass. It is most definitely frustrating, but don’t let it stress you out. Stress can actually cause wait gain, so we make it worse when we do that! Lee your head up, stick with the basics and it will al work out! You are doing amazing!

I’m right there with you!

If you have not gained you are maintaining. Go back to basics immediately. Remove any complex foods that you didn't eat at stage 4 (the stage when you first started eating real foods again) make all super clean and simple. I was stuck for a month, did it (plus increased my water seriously and stopped eating after 9pm) and im finally losing again.

This video was very reassuring.

@ bogglesauce I started an September one. It's called September 2018 Surgeries and Success, I'm a future RnY myself, surgery is September 5th. Somebody started another one just for Sleevers but I'm enclusive not exclusive. Hope this may be of help.

Just over three years ago I met with my personal trainer, Erin, for the first time. During that first session she asked me what one thing is that I would love to be able to do, but can’t due to my size. My response..... ride roller coasters again! She promised to help me get there as long as I put in the work, and that she’d go with me when the time came. So here we are this morning heading to King’s Island to conquer them all! This amazing lady supports me, encourages me, and kicks my ass with her workouts. She even took the time to learn about sleeve surgery so that she would know the best way to help me afterwards.

That's not a personal trainer, that's a friend...

Absolutely! She has become one of my dearest friends, and I don’t know what I would do without her. =)

NSV I want to share - I went out for brunch with friends on Sunday morning and I ordered a healthy little side dish even though I realllllly wanted a big ass omelette. But I made a commitment to stop eating out as much and to only order something really small if I have to eat out. I'm really proud of the choices I've been making lately!

I have a weigh-in today and I'm really nervous about it. They want me to be under 231 by today and at my home scale, i weighed in at 229! But I know the doctor's scale is a few pounds off and might say i'm at 231. I need to not stress about it. I should be really proud of the progress I've made instead of beating myself up for "only" losing 11 pounds in the last 2 months. Any words of encouragement or advice for worrying less about the number on the scale?

Looking forward to 11 am surgery tomorrow! It’s been a long wait and I’m excited!

Had a weigh-in yesterday on my 9-month surgiversery - happy to report that I've lost 81 pounds in total (including my pre-op weight loss) and met the 9-mos goal my bariatric team set for me! Over the next 3 months, they want me to lose another 15-20 lbs. It feels daunting but I know I can do it as long as I keep up the new habits I've adopted over the last year.
