You are going great. I've hit my 4 month mark, and I'm only down 45 pounds. I've hit a lot of stalls, which are very frustrating...... -

Liquid phase did yu cheat
Smokey12 replied to Vsgmommy19's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
no cheating, think of the damage you might do. Is it worth it????? Perhaps you should think of counseling to help you modify your behaviours. Just a thought. -
Good luck, keep us posted.

I've been discouraged lately, my stall has been for 8 weeks now. I'm meeting with my NUT on April 4th. It's hard not to have those old eating habits sneak in, since the scale isn't moving anyway......... I know, self defeating attitude. arghhhh -

NSV: INCHES LOST. Well, it's been 8 weeks and the scale has not moved downward. It is very frustrating. I am meeting with my NUT next week. Am I destined to be a 'slow looser'? Anyway, my friend measured me and I lost 4.25 inches in those weeks, but honestly, I feel I look the same. I have only gone down 1 size, from a 24 to a loose 22. Tomorrow, I'm going back to liquids for a week, if I can do it.........and try to bump my water way up. Any other suggestions from you rapid loosers?????? -
Protein shakes are nasty to me - help!

Have you tried UNJURY, or FRUTENIA (in healthfood stores/fruit flavored)? -
Unflavored Protein Powders

I like the UNJURY brand as well. -
Dec. 17 Sleevers - How are you on week out?

Castiel, we have almost the same numbers. I finally broke my stall, thank goodness, it was very frustrating during that time. -
Stalls in weight loss
Smokey12 replied to bwatts13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just came off a SIX week stall. Very frustrating. I finally have lost another 3 pounds, not much, but I'll take it. The most difficult part about the stall was the emotional eating. I fooled myself into thinking, well if I'm not loosing, I may as well cheat on the diet. which I did on more occasions than once. I finally got my act together, focuses on Protein and Water, and finally the stall broke. Good luck and stay the course. -
Last post I made, I was at a 4 week stall. That stall has turned to 6 weeks. I feel like a loser. I started working out on Feb 1st, hoping to break the stall. Even that has not helped. It's all very frustrating. I was sleeved december 17th and for the first month lost 22 pounds, now the weight is coming off very slowley, if at all. My clothes feel the same, so I know I have not lost inches. I feel like my old habits are going to creep up and sabotage me........ Sorry, I guess I'm having a pity party day. Thanks for letting me vent.

Mirror Mirror On The Wall....Wow! Has It Really Been 10 Months?!?
Smokey12 commented on Lyra's blog entry in Lyra's Canto
Great job. -
My NUT recommended using sugar free preserves (jelly) to the greek yogurt for flavor. Good luck

OMG, so normal, and oh so frustrating. Remain focused and you will see results, but don't be surprised that this is your first of many stalls. Good luck

Wow, you look great. Post pics once you are healed. I'm a long way from plastics, as I have a road to travel before I reach goal, but I will follow your recovery. You are an inspiration. Best wishes -
