This freaking Standstill



Recommended Posts

I think we all have these stalls as I was saying I've been at a stall as well I try not to get upset although it is quite frustrating but I know I'm doing what I'm suppose to so I just know it to shall pass so I just keep the faith and keep going I've got a goal and I'm gonna get there so just keep doing what your suppose to and you'll find the scale will start moving again!!!

@@Victoria bunnag. I bought prune juice, with pulp. I drink a full 8ozs right around 10pm. Works for me the next morning. Also, I don't dilute with Water.

I use 3 rounded tsp of benefiber twice a day and that helps keep me more regular, but then once in a while I get constipated even taking that, and need a dose of Miralax (I've tried MOM and the 'natural' remedies to no avail, so my RN said to go with Miralax).

I"m also fighting that urge to eat the wrong stuff or overeat other things, and the scale is up 1/5 lbs this week. Darn! I'm about deciding that I need to reset my food intake and calorie limits. The nutritionist said i'm not getting enough in (i was at 650 before I began eating dumb stuff!) and now am up to about 900-1000 when I count those darned Cookies or a chocolate or two...or three. It's head stuff I know, and so I need to revisit why and how I feel and what my best self feels like when I eat that and when I don't, and that they CAN be part of my life sometimes, but are NOT part of my daily plan if that plan is to continue to lose weight. I like losing weight, and how I feel when i am doing so - and I love feeling so much freer to live a good life in a more active body. I just need to remember that when staring sweets in the eye! Sigh.

We can do this - it's just not going to be easy. Don't mean we can't do it though!

When was your surgery and how much have you lost? Don't beat yourself up just get back up and go again! Just remember not to give in to those temptations a few minutes of enjoyment can cost you weeks or months of discouragement and disappointment but like I said don't be sooo hard on yourself your human there's gonna be good days and bad just try to make sure the good outweighs the bad!! Good luck!!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
