"The Stall" has lifted!



Recommended Posts

So, I went about 2 and a half weeks with no weight loss. Thank goodness I read that it is perfectly normal, or else I would have been driving myself crazy! I decided I was going to stay off of the scale for a week, and when I weighed myself this morning, I had lost 4 more lbs. Needless to say, I was very happy, since October 3rd I have lost 37 lbs!!! We can all do this, and we are here for each other!!!

Congrats!! I'm in a stall right now but I'm on my period, I also have advanced to solid foods so I'm eating more and blah blah blah. I'm glad that I've read so much about the stalls so that I'm not freaking out. lol! I think I'm lucky, this is only my first stall!

Just remember this feeling when the next stall happens! For most of us, it isn't one and done.

Yes, I hear it is quite normal to go through a few of them. I learned not to worry, as long as I am following my diet, because I can see the inches melt off. I think we get so worried about what the scale says, we don't pay attention to what the clothes show. I am fitting into clothing I have not been able to even fit passed my shoulders in YEARS. It's just unreal, to know that as long as I do not allow myself to stray, my loose clothing can go bye-bye forever.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
