I went into the mall and found some size 16 jeans bought them tried them on when got home and they fit!! Sooo happy but my confusion is that I have been on a stall for over a month and the scale goes up and down 2 and I feel like a failure. I know is part of te process but is hard when you have no support so that is why I come here!!! Just venting by the way I went from a size 22 to 16 and that great for me because I am curvy and even at small sizes before it is a struggle finding jeans.surgery was 8/17/16

Just because the numbers on the scale aren't moving doesn't mean your body isn't doing a tremendous amount of work to become smaller.

Think of stalls as as necessary to your weight loss as sleep is to your overall health.

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

Enjoy the size 16 jeans! You probably won't be able to wear them for very long.

Embrace the Stall!

Many people who experience a stall on the scale are still losing inches. That's why it's great to take your measurements regularly. So when the scale is being a bi***, you can go to the tape measure and still see some progress.

During my stalls I would quit weighing and start measuring! I would always lose inches during my stalls and that's usually when I would go down a size! :)

      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.
