focus on living, not the word S T A L L.



Recommended Posts

I wish everyone would delete the word S T A L L from their life. We all had or will have WLS, and the goal here should be LIVING and loving life, and not the scale and S T A L L. You can see the word stall every single day here, 2 day stall, 4 day stall, 2 week stall, 3 week stall, and I promise there is a long term solution to this and it is patience and following the guidelines of your surgeon and dietician. There is no magic. It is tried and true. I am so delighted with the results of the sleeve, I could die from pure happiness, despite a few problems. Hang in there everyone, and get outdoors. walk, plant flowers, hug your children, and be soooooo happy!!!

Thanks Ziggy and Teachamy! Life is short. Focus on things that MATTER. I had a 62 year old neighbor, thin and healthy 15 years from WW, who died this week from a heart attack. I hope to help people here focus on life and what matters, and not something as ridiculous as not losing a pound here and there.

Great post, @@LindafromFlorida! Just the other day I was browsing the messages here, and it seems like every other topic was No Weight Loss/Freaking out/ HELP!, etc... I was even going to find a post I made offering encouragement and support and put it into a text file so I could cut and paste repeatedly.

I'm in a stall right now, and all is good. One of the NSVs I've been experiencing lately is a level of joy that I've not felt for years. I have a ways to go to get to my goal, and that's fine. I trust the process. And for the first time in, like, ever, I'm seeking out help, and really listening to what everyone on my bariatric team is telling me. I mean really listening.

Be well…

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
