I didn't realize you stall has been for this long. I think you should go see your NUT. I think you and your medical team need to look at it with fresh eyes. Stalls are common but when they are this long I think it's time to re-evaluate.

Good luck and stay strong. This too shall pass.

yahoooo! lost another pound today. so this is how 186 looks on my 5'11 stature. im giving myself 6 months to lose the other 36, i think i can get there before then though. I want to turn 25 at 150. I am even considering 130 now, my friends think im nuts but i just want to take advantage of my tool to the max. i hope you ladies are doing well, anyone heard from @@layknee ? i've had her on my mind.

Lol for real that bra is enormous, yikes and those pants certainly require a lot more junk in your trunk. Isn't incredible how much we have changed. All my pants are too big again and my new bras as well. Went through my closed yesterday, again. Another trip to Goodwill for me too.

Just wanted to report. Upping my calories since my appt Friday - I'm down 4 lbs today. I guess it worked...hopeful its a long term fix too. I guess the dr does know what's right ????

Pasta? I so far can eat anything. I haven't tried Pasta yet. What are your experiences? I'm missing my spaghetti (in moderation of course) Yes, I have a spaghetti squash at the house but wondering what your experiences have been with the real thing?

[amylynns 802]

@@brown eyed gal--I can eat small amounts of Pasta. Same with bread, if it's really toasted well, I can eat one piece. (I add Peanut Butter to it usually)

I've had 1/2 cut of spaghetti at a time, with lots of sauce. And I've had raviolis too. Again, about 1/2 cup, if that.

This make me a very happy girl!

[brown eyed gal 59]

@@amylynns -- Thank you. I'll try it soon!

I can eat bread with no problem. I try not to though! I save it for the really good stuff if I'm going to eat bread.

Hey everyone! I'm happy to report that I've finally broken my stall! 199.0 this morning, I'm finally in onederland lol. I tried upping my calories, with healthy foods etc, nothing was happening. I went to Olive Garden on Sunday night for dinner (I was 203 that morning), I ordered grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli, but hardly ate any of it, because I had a breadstick with alfredo sauce and some Soup. I think the fat in the alfredo is what helped, as crazy as that sounds. I ended up having to use the bathroom like 4 times during the night, but since then, it's been coming off.

On Monday, I went to Old Navy, just to try on clothes...I haven't shopped there in yearsssss. I automatically grabbed the XXL sizes and some size 18 pants. They were huuuge on me. So I went back for xl and size 16, and threw in some large and size 14's for the hell of it. Low and behold, I am now able to wear some 14! Mostly 16 tho...but still! And shirts, depending on the style, some large, some xl. Yay! I also went for a jog last night. I've been using the treadmill at the gym, but usually it's just fast walking, I haven't tried the jogging yet...because my boobs are so floppy now lol. So I jogged a mile up the road, and halfway back. My chest was burning soooo bad, and I was wheezing for hours after, but I felt good otherwise. The scale better not be an April fools joke lol!

I am still in shock and can't believe it, I went shopping at Macy's, they have some awesome clearance racks going on right now. But I tried on some pants and shirts. I wasn't really looking at tags I just held stuff up and got what looked like it would fit...... SIZE 4 and 1 size ZERO!! All my tops were a small or Extra Small!!! I know people keep calling me tiny but I just figured that it was all relative..........holy crap!!

Also I am .7 lbs from the hundred pounds lost and 13.7 pounds from goal!! only 5.5 months post op!!! wow just wow

It's so funny you ended on the note. I was just thinking...I feel like my success is some weird joke sometimes. Like it's just all going to reappear over night.

Congrats on onderland, it's an amazing feeling!
