Don't know if you want this advice or not, but here it is. . get rid of the scale and only weigh yourself at the doctor appointments. The scale is your biggest enemy. I got rid of my scale the minute i came home from the hospital and didn't get another for 1 year. I only weighed at the doctor visits and was very happy with each visit. Good luck!

So glad you're doing so well...Bandster Hell can be tough, but restriction will come with time, I promise! Keep it up! -BG

You wont' lose it over night. Take a deep breath and find some patients. You will look back in a few months and say "OMG where did it all go so fast!" Promise. Hang in there! You'll do great!

You're doing fine. What a lot of people don't understand is that you actually want stalls. Yes, I typed that correctly. You want to stall. It tells you that your body is progressing through this process. Let's take a look at what your body has gone through lately: 5 incisions in your belly Removal of 85% of your stomach Hiatal hernia repair ... ? Reduction of calories by about 2/3rds Reduction of liquids by about 1/2 How should the body react? It is going, "WOA! I just lost a lot of incoming resources! I need to remap how I am going to deal with this and start using some local reserves." Everyone goes through this. It is a good thing. You want your body to figure this out. This will not be your last stall, either, and again, it is a good thing. This is part of the natural progression.
