5 weeks out & only 21 lbs down :(

[Christina760 161]

Total since 11/2/12 I've lost 36 pounds. But since 11/7 I've only lost 21! :-( super bummed about it. Tomorrow is my post op follow up and I'm hoping to get the clearance to excercise. Has anyone experienced a stall once they went in soft foods? I'm totally bummed right now.

This is typically what happens. We get in a stall so that the inches can come off to catch up with the lost lbs......Don't worry, you will be losing lbs again really soon. You are so not done.........Be patient and enjoy the ride. Change old eating habits and recognize ways you might sabotage yourself later on.

Why on Earth would you be bummed about losing 36 pounds in 5 weeks? Stay positive!!

Yes it sound wonderful. Think about it u are 21 pounds light. Last month you were 21 pounds heavier. So I think that's amazing.

Girl YES!! That is amazing! Pre-sleeve I would gain weight while I was trying to lose, so every pound gone made me super excited. LOL. Just do what you know you are supposed to do, and that weight will come off.

What was your pre-sleeve weight? I was sleeved a day before you and have lost only 4lbs more than you. I am also training for a half marathon and run every day so without clearance to exercise yet you are doing fantastic!! You don't want it to fall off overnight anyways .... less skin problems!! Be patient

I agree I think that's great!! Stay positive and be proud that you are loosing! I know sometimes we get caught up on the number and see others lose faster but I think you are doing perfect!

Are you kidding? I have been in a stall for at least 5 weeks! I was sleeved 10/22/12 and lost 24 lbs in the first month. Since then I've lost one. One!

I'm not putting on muscle either. But here's the thing...it's different this time. I'm not real happy about the stall, but I'm not panicked either. It has to change eventually.

And I feel like a new woman! Hang in there.
