I Am Thankful For My Stall



Recommended Posts

I am thankful for this post and @innersurfergirl's "Embrace the Stall" post.

I'm also thankful for any post about a stall that was posted more than a couple of months ago, and here is why:

First I read the original post, filled with angst, frustration and fear that something is wrong and questions about whether they will lose any more weight. Then, I scroll down and look at their ticker. It usually reflects a significant amount of weight loss, proving that they not only broke their stall, but are successfully on their way to, and sometimes at, their goal!

I have not had a true stall yet (only a minor bump), but I know exactly where I will go for inspiration when I do!

Thanks everyone for all your thoughts, good, bad and ugly, regarding stalls!

Yes, the stalls come and they go away in their own time ....

I've had 4-5 stalls by now, and then I lost more weight, again :)

I too was worried when the first one happened, and this thread and the "Embrace the Stall" thread really helped me.

Inner Surfer Girl explains it so well.

I am thankful for both threads.

A couple of days does not a stall make. When the scale doesn't move for 3 weeks, THEN you're in a stall. Step away from the scale for a few days. You're going to drive yourself batty.

I had a two week stall and only 7wks out but I think when my food phase changed a stall appeared BUT I want to lose at a pace I can build up too. I am not much of a physically person..exercise and such but since surgery I have increased activity, park farther from work and stores, and even do more activities from the kids. My stalls are not a worry for me because I haven't been a scale obsessed person but my inches and moving down in clothes sizes. All good in this neighborhood. :D

I'm grateful for my last stall. I dropped a size right afterwards and am now comfortably in a 16 pant. expecting stall number 3 to start soon if it hasn't already.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
