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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
