UndercoverBariatricGal 167 Posted January 20, 2013 Sleeved Dec. 4/ 12 weight 282. Today, down 12 lbs. Stalled for past 5 weeks. may I ask? Did you do the pre op diet too? a stall for 5 weeks is a lot. are you getting all your Water in? Has it started moving at all (the scale) Since the stall?

UndercoverBariatricGal 167 Posted January 20, 2013 Even though I'm stalled, I still notice that my clothes are looser :-) DId you take your measurements before you started? I know I didnt and I wish I did i was sleeved on 12/6 and didnt do my measurements until 1/3 I know silly me but I took off an inch and a half on my stomach since and 1 in off my bust since too.. So when you go through a stall .. They say its not really a stall if you loose inches. Its just your body readjusting thats all.. If you didnt do it now better late then never.

Shelley9 36 Posted January 20, 2013 In April 2012 I decided to try to loose. From April - Oct. I lost 20 lbs on my own with the help of Victoza. Oct. to pre-op I lost 12 lbs. Post op I lost 10 lbs in the first week and 2 lbs in the past 5 weeks = 44 lbs since April. I did measure a few weeks ago and there has been some change in the past 5 weeks. Since going back to work it is really difficult to get in all my fluids - I am a gr 7 teacher. I do get all of my Protein in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since going back to work it is really difficult to get in all my fluids - I am a gr 7 teacher. I do get all of my Protein in. Okay well I only asked because I had a stall too and trust I understand how hard it is to get fluids in at work I really do.. However I was frustrated about my stall so I drop 1 meal and increased my fluids from 6 cups a day to 8 and the weight just started falling off again i was eating every 3 hours 5 times a day i changed that to every 4 hours 4 times a day 3 meals and a snack its not hard because I am still never hungry I fear getting my appetite back but for now as long as I dont have one I control the way this "TOOL" will work for me and I am taking full advantage of it too! I did not give up all the food and Snacks I love to FAIL!!! Oh by the way good job on the weight loss both pre op and post op.. A pound is a pound... wink well I hope you get out of your stall and soon.. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Britty0529 21 Posted January 20, 2013 I really try to stay away from carbs...get Protein and drink lots of water!! I am really short so that might be why my number is higher! More importantly I feel so much better!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Britty0529 21 Posted January 20, 2013 About 32 of it... I have been losing like a pound or two every two days! I hope it continues! My mom was the same way; she lost over 100 and went from size 22/24 to a size 4!!! She is my inspiration!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ofeliamarin29 86 Posted January 20, 2013 Sleeved 12/7! Lost 33 that's from day one of 10 liquid diet! I've was size 20 and yesterday I wore my first 11 in 4 years! It was the best feeling EVER! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More importantly I feel so much better!! My dr said to get a few carbs in! That's why I stalled last time I had no carbs! But just a few I would allow one every other day minimal portion! It's helped! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that we all need carbs they are essential to our body... I guess I should have said that I stay away from breads entirely! I do however eat plain oatmeal in the morning with a half a cup of chocolate Protein Powder (let's face it, plain oatmeal ain't great). You can also get "good" carbs from healthy foods too! I am nooootttt perfect at all - I had a skinny girl margarita last night and loved every minute of it! But I do try and stick to a pretty strict but wonderful lifestyle everyday!

Heck yes we do!! Ok so I thought that too about drinking - like there was a 90 day waiting period but I looked through the book that my doctor gave me and it said to just be careful of sugars and such. So I don't drink often or anything but some tequila and lime juice and some other stuff won't kill me or my diet too bad.... Well I hope!!! How far out are you? I am like 6ish weeks!
