8 WEEKS POST OP

????????starting exercising this week and seem like the scale would be moving but it's basically staying at a stand still on subtracting an ounce here and there. Guess I'm at the "stall" I've been hearing folks talk about????????????????if so hopefully my wt loss will double????

None of us lose at a constant rate, and stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process.

I mean this in the best way possible, but if you are concerned about ounces on the scale, it might be a very good idea to put your scale away and weigh no more than once a week (or even less frequently). It's not worth it if you are going to let it dictate how you feel.

Just focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, and taking all of your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Now that you are starting to exercise, you may also want to check in with your NUT to see if you need to adjust anything. It's possible as you increase your physical activity that you MAY need to eat more.

Embrace the Stall!

I'll never let it dictate the way I feel....but I do need to weigh less often. Taking all my Vitamins, but need to really start keeping track of my Protein intake.

If you haven't been tracking your food and fluids now is a great time to start!

I really need to invent a scale that doesn't respond to you after you've stepped on more than twice in a seven day period.

I think the amount we are going to lose is predetermined by our genes in combination with the characteristics of the surgery...you just have to love it like a locked door. Pace and timing of stalls, however, are not programmed, and are even harder to predict. I do not believe they impact how much you will ultimately lose, so, you are only human if you are frustrated by a stall, but do not take it to mean your ultimate result will be less satisfying than it would be had the stall not occurred.

Excellent idea @! I'd invest in that start-up! ????
