sleevediva reacted to Holly5.3 in Why So Hard Getting Water/protein?
For me it's due to the tiny sips you need to taketo avoid adding more gas. Also, on stage1 you can't have milk so Protein Powder mixed with Water is rough enough - couldn't finish serving. Yesterday I finally tried adding unflavored Protein (11 grams-1/2 scoop) to 3/4 cup ice water with Crystal lite raspberry lemonade and 4 ice cubes (melted make 8 oz. beverage total)- 3 of theseduring the day -33 grams and it was delicious and I drank every drop.finally made protein min. req. Thanks to Crystal Lite!!

Do a site search on stall. There lots. Here is one that I commented on, which I like.
Bottom line ... what is a stall?
What does it mean? Is a stall when you don't lose weight? Don't lose weight for ... a day, a week?
Are you doing this to lose weight or lose fat?
Would you rather lose lose weight everyday and have your clothes fit the same?
If you lose weight one day, but don't lose any the whole week, but are able to walk further with easier effort and able to drink more Water than you were last week, are you stalled?
Weigh yourself once a month and you will never see a stall
Trust me. Ditch the scale. It lies. It measures weight, not fat. What are you looking to lose ... weight ... fat ... your mind?

Stalls are a necessary part of the journey. If you weigh yourself once a month, you never see them.
But, if you have to weigh yourself more often ...
Here is how I look at it.
You're going to have stalls. You want your body to have stalls. If your body did not have the ability to go into starvation mode, then, something is not right. Let's say ... on your journey to goal, you are going to have 5 stalls. Well, your in one now, so you only have 4 left!!!
Yea! I can't wait to get to the next one so I only have 3 left!

Congrats!
Just keep following the guidelines as close as you can and you will be at goal before you know it.

sleevediva got a reaction from nicole836 in September Was Your Progress?
Sleeved 9/20 = 268.5
Stalled since 10/9 = 254
Down 14.5 pounds since surgery, and down 28 pounds from highest weight. I'm convinced I would have lost more by now but honestly I'm exhausted all the time. Just started back at work on Monday and don't have the energy to walk like I was doing. I really miss going to the gym.
When does this exhaustion end!?!?!

sleevediva got a reaction from sunsetblvd68 in Surgery Set For The 20Th ....nervous Wreck!
I too have my surgery on Thursday. I feel like I'm going crazy because my nerves are out of control. I was fine till this past weekend but now the past couple of nights I haven't been able to sleep.
I just thought I'd let you know you aren't the only one. We're in this boat together.
