Want to hear something insane?

I was stalled for almost 4 weeks, SUCH TORTURE!!! Well, my stall broke Friday, and now on Sunday, 3 days later, Im 20 pounds lighter! Wtf??????? Un-believable. Truly. I was worried too, but I held onto hope and finally, BAM!!!! All I want you to take away from this is to be patient and stay the course, your body WILL catch up.

You must be thinking this is the best day ever!

Nice work.

Awesome! Congrats! Did you change anything around that time that could have possible helped break it?

[IAMLU 30]

I don't know if I'll ever see a better day than this lol, but since I enjoy almost all my days, I'm not even worried about it! I was really bummed during the stall.

[IAMLU 30]

I have some suspicions about what may or may not have broken the stall, but no way of being sure, and I don't want to misguid people either. What works for one person may not work for others.

whoa thats crazy. How often do you weigh? I ask because some scales have a memory function built in so if i change is only very incremental it will just register the same weight as last time even though its not exactly the same, so then the person weighing never sees a change until the drop is dramatic. Certain digital scales are notorious for that. I have no idea what you've got or even if it was a digital scale but you might google the make and model of yours and see if thats whats happening.

You could have had a huge shift though. That happened to be on my 10 day preop diet. I didn't really lose anything significant for the whole first half of it and then all of a sudden in the last 3 days I dropped an entire 20ish pounds.

Sounds like you experienced the whoosh! The theory is that you lose fat from your fat cells, but the cells fill up with Water so you don't realize you're losing weight because it's being displaced by water until one day WHOOSH, the water flushes out of your system and you see a huge drop on the scale. I probably didn't explain that very well so I highly recommend googling it

The "whoosh" makes total sense, my urine output went up like CRAZY this weekend!

I weigh myself when I wake up, in the afternoon, and before bed. Its a very good scale, crudly accurate lol

[ShrinkingInSeattle 13]

Holy cow. Sweet can I ask your weight. 20 seams c r a z y

[Iniysa 157]

That's exciting! I think I would have to sit down for a long while from the sheer shock of it, if I lost that much all at once. LOL! Congratulations!

I want a whooosh .........

[Fiddleman 4,376]

That is absolutely awesome! Give me some of what you are having!

[IAMLU 30]

Ive been thinking about it since Saturday morning when I was about 8 pounds down in one day. Then I figured it would go up again or something, at least a pound or two, but nope, another 10 pound by Sunday morning was off and 2 more by the afternoon. Ive spent all day trying to wrap my head around it. My current weight is 229. 7 weeks post op.

ME TOOOOOO!!!

When I did a liquid diet before, there was a long stall and they kept telling me that you will hit periods where you're losing fat but retaining Water. When that happens, it looks like a stall, but then you lose like 10lbs overnight. Lol guess you got the woosh!
