Stalled And Don't Care!



Recommended Posts

I have not lost a single pound since Nov. 2nd - my 4 month surgery anniversary!! I refuse to let it get to me -

I started working out that week, and I know I am not gaining muscle - I am just in a stupid stall.

I am watching my carb intake, and as I head into holiday chow hell, I m plan on making good choices - turkey first, followed by sweet potatoes!! :)

Sweets are easy to avoid - but the rolls!!!!

ANyway - I am very pleased with how I look these days.

I am rocking my size 16's and anything I lose after this will really be a bonus....

Have a great Holiday!!!

I'm feeling the same way girlfriend and rocking my size 14's !!

I have no fear about Thanksgiving either, I know how to eat, focus on my turkey with a bit of gravy - a tablespoon of stuffing, a tablespoon of mashed potatoes a tiny bit of cranberry sauce....and of course I will save room for a tiny sliver of pumpkin pie.

I am no longer feeling like this is a race. It is a way of life and although I am losing slowly, I have not gained weight, I stall then lose, stall then lose, that's just how it is for MY body.

Love your pictures, you look so happy and skinny!!!

I have been so bummed about Thanksgiving but like you say it's a marathon not a race. I've lost 85 pounds since May, 30 pre surg and 55 post op. Surgery on July 31 So in reality I guess I'm doing good, although I think I'm losing slow. I'm in a 16 and love it. One day at a time...

Exactly Carey....think about where we were last year. I have donated most of my old big clothes over this year, but hadn't touched my coats. When the weather cooled down, I was trying them on to see what might fit and they were so big, I could tuck the edges under my armpits from both sides. They were huge and LONG too. I had to run out and get a few sweaters but no jacket yet, I am between a 14 and 16 on top because I am still busty. I am on a hunt during the Christmas sales to try and get a 14 that will take me through next Spring. Eventually I hope to hit goal at a size 8-10. I feel so much better this year!! Hope you do too, so go ahead and enjoy Thanksgiving and then pick up right where you left off..

Those overalls rock.

But how do you know you're not gaining muscle? If you haven't been exercising at all, then simply starting an aggressive walking program will cause you to gain muscle. Your body adapts to the stress you put it through. If you suddenly start demanding it workout everyday, it will adapt by growing the muscles it needs to do the job, as long as you're taking in enough Protein to do so. You may be adding more muscle than you know.

You look great by the way.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
