Yes my stall broke a few days ago after i pouted about it on here lol its as though my body heard me lol i taken of a pound and half every day since and I am eating too and drinking too its just i changed up what i was doing, I have read that whatever changes you make give it 2-3 days to see progress i saw it the very next day * thank God* You will be fine love just don't give up thats what everyone told me and i listen and long behold the scale moved again.. it will happen..

I just broke a 3 week stall this morning I was up and down between 223-227 yes a 4 lbs up and down moment but for the last 3 Mondays in a row i weighed in at 224 then 223.8 then this past Monday at 225.6 smh it depressed the heck out of my so i lowered my carbs and increased my water and switched from chicken back to fish and as of today I am 222.2 yes! The stall is officially broken and the scale is moving again, I know we shouldn't weigh in every day but heck i was loosing it over here and i saw it go as high as 227 and then i lost it lol its all good though i made changes, However my calorie intake is very poor and could hurt me in the long run I will be more active as of this Monday the 11th so I will increase it back up to 600 to 800 and as much as I HATE protein shakes i will be adding those back in because my protein intake is very low its usually 42 a day the shake will brink it up another 25 so i will force it in me as much as i hate it it will also bring my calories to 616 a day because right now its only 412 and that's not good at all, However on most days all I do is lay in bed and do nothing so since I will be going back to a very active job as of this Monday I will need the increase in calories since my job burns so many calories with all the walking I do. I will also start exercising 3-4 days a week so the low calorie intak may only harm me instead of help me. I am happy for now though, This whole eating right thing is new to me i'm learning my body as I go through this lifestyle change and I pray that when I reach my goal i maintain it, I dont ever want to go through this again!

This is my second stall and I am only 8 weeks post op it is extremely depressing to follow all your doctors orders and even change up your daily diet to see what will and will not work for you on the weight loss journey, This will be my third week in a row with no inches off or weight come tomorrow! I am frustrated and angry at it! I gave up every food I loved and I drink my water and eat between 450-575 calories a day! I even walk every day at least 30 minutes if not more. So please tell me why I have been between 223-225 for the last few weeks? It makes me want to eat the way i use to but who will i be hurting only myself so why bother I did not come this far to be stuck or even be a sleeve failure! I wont give up but I just need to post the frustration and depressing I am feeling right now! As of this Monday I am putting my scale in a closet to keep from stepping on it everyday so this wont be a regular feeling for me I know I am eating right and getting all my fluids in and sooner or later the scale will move again so Bye bye scale! The scale can do more harm then good I tell you!

UPDATE: I seem to have broken my stall I went as high as back to 228 with the back and forth stall and yesterday the scale went down and today it went down to 223.4 back to my norm thank God now I am hoping within the next two days I drop another pound at least to show my stall is officially over. I have yet to see 222 so once it hits 222 I will feel like im in the safe zone i added another bottle of water to my intake (making it 4 instead of 3) and also started the Vitamin D drops too , I am trying any advice right now to break this up and down weight loss/ gain/stall I also took myself off the chicken and went back to all fish I needed change in my flavor bad so I went to chicken but all that seem to do was back me up (not to be so graphic) but I seem to be back on track again taking me out of my depression and i am also regulated again in the restroom usage (again not trying to be so graphic) So thank you guys for your support it kept me in a more positive place. I love this site and the positive people on it. THANKS EVERYONE!

Just because I threw five drops in my Water this morning and will do so until i get my blood work done I just want this up and down weight and stall to break this is my second stall in 8 weeks..

No blood work has been done yet but my next appointment is not until the 28th (almost 3 months post op I can only assume that I will do blood work by then... Smh I have some drops Vitamin D drops here but was not sure if I should take them until I knew what my levels were I was waiting on the blood work to see.. Smh this morning I put on 3 pounds smh I am at a lost for words i am loosing it over here I took some Phillips since *restroom use has not been done in 5 days* I thought that maybe that was an issue.. I am just getting more and more depressed.as each day passes. *only me*

I wish you luck in reaching your goal it sounds realistic to me

You guys are the best, I feel bad for my partner because I just dont want to talk about it shutting her out, Leaving me in a bed bound slump today. I know it will move again I was taking in more it was 600-800 and nothing so I lowered it its like nothing I do works. I know our bodies went through some serious trauma but the lack of weight loss is taking my mental through some serious trauma as well, Heck I would take a pound a week but nothing at all ? I eat 3oz of yogurt for breakfast Salmon and spinach for lunch and for a snack the other half of yogurt then salmon again for dinner I should be loosing this weight like water smh I use the rest room all day long feels like every 20-3 minutes i drink so much water so please body respond is how im feeling right now! I hope your right and I can look back at this and laugh at myself for allowing the scale to control my emotions I really do.

Funny you should say that I use my fitness pal and I looked back on the entire month of January and it was between 15- as much as 72 a day from stuff like yogurt and oatmeal so i dropped the carbs down today to see if that is the problem i am happy to report my carb intake today is only 16 i need to loose that darn oatmeal so thats what i am going to do.

Oh cool thats my sleeve date too and I am down 34 lbs not bad for 8 weeks huh? wink keep up the good work.

Omg I am with you 100% i am in another stall smh I think weighing in on a regular is causing more problems then just a little bit I am about to place my scale in a closet because I am happy when I dont know the numbers and seriously depressed when i see no movement for over a week, It gonna end up hurting me in the long run and i know being stressed doesn't help weight loss at all so I'm about to lock it up and just do what i know I should do and see that thing once a week instead of every morning! To much pressure for me to deal with. I been back and for between 225 and 223 all this week simply depressing to be honest and it makes me want to eat no no foods because if im not loosing whats the point of sticking with the diet plan the doctor gave us so as of Monday morning the scale is coming out my bathroom and going into the closet until the following Monday. But trust I know how you feel when those pounds fly off i feel so liberated and fresh and ya know just good all over, but when the scale stands still its just outright the opposite i feel like that person that will be a sleeve failure despite all the right i am doing on this lifestyle change! #ExtremelyFrustrated

I'm with you. my doctor is just happy if I'm loosing he dont even care about the protein shakes I told him I hate them and I'm grown and WON"T drink them and he said as long as I'm getting in 50-60 a day with my food intake then he is good with that so I eat mostly fish and chicken and yogurt to assure that because protein shakes taste like yuck lol. I simply told him what I was eating and that I walked 30 minutes a day and he said good job lol, No pressure on me either thank God, I already feel some sort of way since I had to buy a new scale that placed more pounds on me from the last scale I had, But since they still see weight loss they are good with it. *shrug*

Yesterday made my 6 weeks Post-op date I was sleeved on 12/6/12 and since yesterday I have been feeling really weak, sick feeling and this morning only got about an ounce down before i started to throw up (oatmeal) and have been experiencing rapid heart rate (the heart thing been going on since maybe my second week out but has increasingly got worse this week) I call the hospital and they tell me to go back to stage one for the next 2-3 days.. Uggg I'm supposed to be progressing to stage 4 today now I have to back track to stage one.. ***frustrated**** I hope I dont have a leak and they ignoring it because I am telling them all my symptoms and their solution is go back to stage one!!! Has anyone else had this issue so late after surgery? Be mindful I have never thrown up before until today outside of a cheat attempt (trail and error lol )

Yeah I feel you my work environment is the same when it comes to eating and you are rushed because you never know when something will happen where I work so you may atrat but not end up finishing. Smh at home its as you see fit and as you please but work will defiantly make it hard on a person

Yes I agree my job is a very active one and I stay on the go and walking is a trigger so I fear working.. i go back soon but can I handle it? Guess I will soon enough find out

Yes I am I am down 35 lbs but I dont see it I feel like I'm still 258 not 223 smh I thought I was the only one. My clothes show me I lost and I see my face is down but Yeah I still feel like I'm 258 *shrug*

I'm on 600-700 a day and I walk 30 minutes at least a day I don't do shakes I try to get all my protein in by my meals because I hate the shakes my doctor says that fine ant encourages me to get at least 45-50 a day if I'm not doing the shakes I get it on average 52-60 protein a day. I was sleeved on Dec 6th and am down 35 lbs and feeling great I eat oatmeal/cream of wheat, chicken/fish and spinach and Greek yogurt When I need extra calories I eat a ounce of 2% cheese it also increases my protein. I am on 3 meals and a snack a day i eat every 4 hours and I always get in at least 71.1 ounces of water a day.

Update!!! So I dont have a leak so they say lol still having issues with my heart though I am being sent to a cardiologist to be placed on a heart monitor to see what is causing the issue so Its not a leak but the cause is still unknown . So at least I am clear of the possibility of a leak.

I noticed that we all go through a stall sooner or later I also noticed that people with bigger BMI's seem to loose more weight faster then people with lower BMI's although I have seen some folks that break that rule its rare My thing is this I know its frustrating to have gone through all of this see how little we eat only to watch it either move slow or not at all but DON'T GIVE UP I know its hard and it feels like it wont happy BUT IF YOU EAT THE WAY YOU SHOULD! Low carb High protein and get ALL your water in you should be fine , We cant complain about its not moving if were not following the doctors orders I have broken the rules 3 times since surgery but realized I was only hurting myself by breaking the rules and that I would have done this all for nothing if I don't stay strong we are human and its okay to fall off track here and there but remember we really put ourselves through a lot to reach a goal so I figure why mess it up! Lets do right by ourselves and stick with it until goal is reached then once it is lets do ourselves a favor and learn to maintain it so we will never be here again! Good luck everyone I KNOW ITS HARD! #YesWeCan!

I was lucky enough to hear peoples reaction to this surgery before it was even a thought for me so I knew in advance that I would be isolated in my weight loss I have not even told my best friend. Only two very close relatives and my fiance know I did this. The rest of the world has been closed out to this part of my life. I am not ashamed but don't feel I need to run around telling the world I had this done. One of those family members are heavy set and I have now past them in weight loss and they seem jealous so I feel I did the right thing. That is just one person so imagine how others may react to it? I'm not up for the challenge of feeling the need to explain myself or the why I did it or even up for hearing YOU TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT! Its all simply annoying and I myself would rather folks just say job well done on my hard earned work. Instead of saying you cheated by getting weight loss surgery. Smh If people only knew how hard this really was! You should just tell her she will always be a friend despite your weight loss.. I hope she comes around..

12/6/12 and loving my weight loss my only issue is I'm having issue with heart palpitations since surgery and they have yet to find anything wrong.. outside of that I am happy.

thank you so much....

I love it I subscribed I may be UNDERCOVER by I am a YouTube Fan so I may not comment but I will be watching my sleeve date was 12/6/12 If you know who I am please do not say anything about sleeve in my YouTube I don't want the world knowing I was sleeved but I looked forward to seeing your videos. Good job on the weight Loss!

I went to the ER already and they did not help me they said i needed the specialist there so I wont waste my time anymore the copay is 70.00 I am not made of money for them to be playing Ginny Pig with I will take it easy until the 28th and leave it in Gods hands.

Thank you I will be back on the afternoon of the 28th to UPDATE provided I have no serious issues that hospitalize me.
