Broke the stall (slowly)

[PatrickG 5]

I am in my 5th week post-op and my body is starting to grudgingly give up the weight after stalling at 3 weeks. I increased my Protein intake and walking time and I am losing about 1-2 lbs per week. This morning I saw 239.

I had a bad stall as well. I arrived at 180lbs from 220 and the scale would not move. I picked up my exercise to twice a day 30mins in the morn and 30 mins in the evening. i got rid of the scale temporarily but before I did, I was another 2lbs down...Don't get discouraged.

I hit a stall at 2 1/2 months out. It was my first stall and it was very depressing. Yes I knew it would happen, but having it happen made it real. So I put away the scales and said forget you I'm not going to go by numbers for a while and see how that goes. I continued eating the way I had been eating the past 2 1/2 months and stepped up my activities. After 2 weeks of not weighing I decided to give it a go, and Holy cow I stepped on the scales and seen 183!! I finally broke through 190 without even realizing it. Don't stress yourself out over little things like stalls I know I won't. The scales will eventually start moving again have faith!! I'm ready for my 3 month post op visit now.. I want to see how much I have lost going by the doctors scales. Considering they show I weigh more then my home scales.. LoL
