Sleeved June10th 2015 and STILL at a stall!

[alindsey 230]

I think one HUGE mistake I have made is eating fat free refried Beans (which I love). I can only eat 2-3 tablespoons but since they are loaded with carbs...I guess it adds up if I eat them several days a week. And yes, I have just realized that the yogurt I eat daily has 15 carbs!! So...out that goes. Sounds like eggs, cheese, chicken and fish for me from no on. Trying to stay away from sugar-free foods because of the apartame. Let's see what the next week brings!

You can do it!!! The struggle is tough but I try to focus on how full the meat makes me and not think about yogurt and oatmeal and refried Beans cause I love them to!!!! Lol we will just keep keeping on! It's exciting to realize poor choices and move away from them. Makes me feel like I'm really changing and really doing this!!! Good luck Hun! ????

I was also sleeved June 10th and had a stall that started just after week 3 lasted 9-10 days. I just started losing again earlier this week. I was reading more about stalls here on the boards and started upping my Water intake. It was @@Rogofulm who posted this - http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.php - about why you need lots of Water when losing weight. It helped me a lot. You will make it through, try not to worry too much or feel bad during the stall.

Thank you. I was expecting the 3 week stall that everyone was talking about but mine started early and hasn't let up. The link was helpful as well. I find myself hurrying to bed in hopes that I'll wake up and see a pound loss :/ I'll just keep riding it out and try and up my Water intake.

I just looked last night and it's the beans! I am going to quit that

[AmberWarstler 14]

Ok so after 24 days of the same weight I woke up -2 lbs!! Thank you sweet baby jesus. 2lbs is nothing for some people but it's pretty major for me. Now let's hope it stays off thanks for everyone's encouragement and advice.

[AmberWarstler 14]

okay...almost a week later and my 2lbs are gained back. Talk about frustration to the fullest.

At three weeks I stalled for two and a half weeks. And I just got through another two week stall (I'm 14 weeks out today and down 50 pounds). The stalls end. They suck, but they're temporary and you're not doing anything wrong.

[AmberWarstler 14]

I'm so bummed. I'm 6 weeks post op today and at the exact same weight as 1 week post op. How does one stall for 5 weeks??

[Soapandcandlequeen 124]

A 5 week stall that early out doesn't seem quite right to me. Everyone is different though. Are you recording your food, Water, Protein and calories?

[AmberWarstler 14]

I sure am. Brought it in to my doc at my 3 week appointment and he said the only thing I may want to do is increase increase my calories but I find that hard when I'm eating so little. There's been days my Protein is all the way up to 90 with 50-60 oz of Water as well..

[AmberWarstler 14]

He also mentioned because I was pretty darn healthy before surgery I may be a slower loser which bummed me out..but I'm not losing anything at all.

[Soapandcandlequeen 124]

Wow. That is crazy but I totally believe it happens. I am in my second stall and I actually gained a pound. Keep your head up. It will all work itself out

[AmberWarstler 14]

I know I've lost inches because things fit a bit more loose, I wish I would have done measurements before hand but to stand on the scale and be the same exact weight still is just depressing. I guess I just have to ride it out and keep doing what I know I'm supposed to do and see what happens.

[AmberWarstler 14]

Good luck with your stall!

[Soapandcandlequeen 124]

Yeah I didn't do measurements either and wish I did
