Longest Stall Contest

[kaehl 0]

You know it's just the body fighting back -- it doesn't realize that we're trying to be healthier -- it's job is to maintain the weight (or gain it) in case of famine. Right now, the body thinks I'm in the middle of a famine. I figure if I keep doing what is right eventually it will come off. Now it might not come off as fast as I want, but it definitely will come off.

The great thing about the sleeve is that I will outlast any defenses my body puts up -- I don't have to worry about regaining as with the RNY, I don't have to worry about fighting hunger urges like with the band. I have the sleeve which limits my food and makes me not want to eat!! Hurray!! So guess who's gonna win this weight battle?? yep, you know it!

Thanks for that. It's very encouraging. I'm just 8 weeks out and have been stalled for 2.5 of those weeks. It's driving me crazy because I'm keeping my calories and carbs so low that I think I should be losing well. Today I decided to add more healthy carbs and see if it makes a difference.
