Thank you, Tannak!!! I've been ecstatic all day, lol. So glad to hear yours broke as well!! It's such a fantastic feeling! I hope it's a long, long time before either of us have to go thru this again!!

Thank God I think my stall is broken!!! I cut my carbs in half and I think that did it!! YAY, after almost 5 weeks I'm down 3 lbs!!

Friday will be 9 weeks and I have lost 17lbs total, and have been in a stall for the whole last 4 weeks. Monday I started cutting my carbs in half from 100 to 50, upped my protein as close to 100 as possible, and totally stopped protein bars to avoid any hidden carbs & sugar. I'm hoping this will jumpstart my system. I tried upping my calories for a week, even tried counting points for a week...I have been desperate !! I hope that this works. I feel better since a friend on here figured my % of excess weight lost and it was 20%!! That made me feel so much better!! But this stall still is so frustrating so I wholeheartedly welcome any and all advice!!

Anybody else experiencing a loooonnnggg stall?? I've been in one for4 weeks!!! Not lost a pound! Any advice??

It doesn't make sense to me either . I'm following WW this week to see how it goes...I'm in a 4 week long stall!!

As bad as I hated to, I upped my calories to try to get out of this 4 week long stall. I'm not going to weigh again until next Tuesday ...that will mark one week. I am hoping and praying to get my body jumpstarted. Many people recommend this and I'm so hoping I actually lose or at the very least, don't gain back any! I will be sure to let everyone know just in case any of you experience a month-long stall...which btw I hope never happens ....

Thanks for sharing, I loved reading your story and getting to know you!! Are you scheduled for surgery yet??

Nice blog thanks for sharing, this is a very emotional journey in so many ways...best of luck...I feel sorry for ur mom, I'm 53 and feeling that I'm just beginning a new chapter in my life. I wish things were different for her, too...

True, and they are so gross! I tried about 3 diff ones, tried to hold my nose to get it down since I already had them, but had to toss them....uuughhh

Wow, I'll prob cry if I ever get that close!! It seems sooo far away for me!!! Congratulations!!! Let us know how it is when u arrive in Onederland!!!

It's very exciting!!! Remember , we're all happy for all other March Sleevers!!! We are a great group of Losers, Lol!!!

I'm beginning my 8th week out so I can eat anything but steak and pork...

I've been between 600-800 cal, abt 75gr of protein and lots of fluid...I'm clueless as to why I'm in this 3 wk stall!! But,1000 should shake things up some from what I've read...I'm gonna try it this week!! Can't hurt, I don't think anyway!!

I had to read this twice!! I can't believe I have a sleeve twin, lol, but sorry u r going thru the exact same thing I am! But, I like ur attitude better than mine !! Let's follow up on here!! It will be interesting to see if we finally take off someday!!

I will,

I've been in a 3 wk long stall!!! Have tried everything to break it. I was sleeved 3/8/13 and have only lost 17 lbs total. I feel terrible about the scales, but I have lost inches. I've been reassured that the scales WILL eventually move again...can't happen soon enough for me!!! But, today has been a better day, trying to change my mindset everyone says 6 mo from now this will be just a dream....

Bigdog, it is normal to have head hunger since we have so many adjustments to make in our lives. Actually, after a while, u may not want to eat at all...thus the no. of sleevers that fight anorexic tendencies. There's lots of research, according to athe surgeon, that there may be actual Central Nervous System changes that we go thru!! Don't worry unless it persists, and if it does, consult with ur surgeon or nut...

I agree Wth Luckysmomma on all counts! I buy the chocolate Whey Isopure at Walmart , none of them taste good in my opinion, but if u have a little blender, you can just add one cup of Water and 2 tbsp of creamy p-nut butter and blend it. It makes it thicker and easier to drink. Be sure to drink at least 64oz of fluids per day as well. The only thing I'd add to her list is Biotin a Vitamin for hair and nails... Good luck

I keep losing and regaining the same pound all week, but have lost inches, so as I'm losing something, somewhere, I'm okay

Does everyone stick strictly with the no water before and after eating for 30 min. Rule?? Do u know anything about "slurry"?? That may be the reason for my stall?? Drinking too soon after eating....btw, thanks for the support

I'm 5'7"

I think so too! It really helps me to be with fellow March sleevers...I've had a rough time losing, but I have no regrets

I don't know what's going on with my body...still at a stall of over 3 weeks!!! Went back to shakes and 2 bars/day to mix things up, but keep losing and gaining the same lb over and over!! Had tried upping my calories, but that didn't work for me, plus it didn't make me feel good about myself. I am losing inches tho..any advice is greatly appreciated! Being out 7 weeks, it seems like I would be the veteran giving out advice ..***sigh***

SW-256 CW-240 Only 16 lbs lost, sleeved 3/8/13 Congrats!!! You are almost in Onederland !!!! Yay! I don't know WHY I am such a slow loser... Move darn scales, Move!!!!!!

How much have u lost, Buplee?? Have u been exercising much??
