Getting Discouraged

[SleeveShelly 75]

I have been at a stall since October 27. This Wednesday will be 8 weeks since surgery. I'm starting to think I am going to fail the sleeve. I have been getting my Protein in, and my Water. I admit I have not walked lately because it has been cold. I'm beginning to think it is hopeless!!!

I was sleeved Oct 8th and just broke a stall this weekend. I was in a stall for about 2 weeks, and Sat morning I started losing again. Just keep doing what your doing. We hit stalls so our body can catch up. There was a post on here the other day with a link about fluids and glycogen stores being replenished in our muscles that made a lot of sense about the stalls.

Don't get discouraged. Just make it up in your mind that with the way we are eating, there is no way we wouldn't lose the weight. BTW, did you take any measurements? You lose inches even when you are not losing lbs.

Chin up! Don't sweat it!!!

Amen to that! I was sleeved on Oct. 9th and I can definitely tell you that inches will come off when weight doesn't. Workout so your skin tightens up some and think BEAUTIFUL thoughts always. We are too blessed to be stressed!!! Stress makes you fat, we don't want that in our lives anymore so don't go there... Easier said than done but practice makes perfect!

Don't get discouraged, you hit a stall so your body can catch up with your weight loss. I promise you will start losing again. I am 4 1/2 months out and just hit 90 lbs lost yesterday! This sleeve thing is awesome! Keep up the good work!
