Crimsonqueen 40 Posted February 23, 2018 I have found that when I stall I just have to keep on trucking and not let the number on the scale get to me. Stress can make you out on weight, so just stay calm. The weight loss will always continue as long as you keep doing what you are supposed to do. Keep up the great work everyone!

meech513 79 Posted February 23, 2018 Hit another stall, sigh I’ve hit them too. I just stick to my plan and try and stay away from the scale . Which is hard because it’s become my new best friend and my worst enemy since the surgery. 3 GreenTealael, BostonWLKC and Crimsonqueen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had four weeks of not losing a single pound and this week i'm at almost 5lb lost. I don't normally check every day, but this week I have been to check to make sure it's real! Keep going! 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leese_A_New_Life 58 Posted February 23, 2018 Since month 2 I stall for 10-14 days, then lose 5 lbs a week then stall another 10-14 days. This cycle has been my new normal. This month I haven't lost anything since 2/2 yet this week I just lost 4 lbs. Even with hitting my Water and Protein goals, and exercising. I guess this is how my body is adjusting. Everyone is different, the worst we could do is compare our journey to someone else or be hard on ourselves because we didn't lose as much as someone else. Keep up the great work Novemeber sleevers!

bogglesauce 238 Posted February 27, 2018 We don't really talk about calories much but are you supposed to be consuming a certain number of calories? I had my 3 Month post-op meeting with my surgeon last week and he reminded me that I'm supposed to be consuming 1200 calories or less everyday. Also happy to report that I'm officially down 63 pounds as of today! 2 meech513 and Paloomino78 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope that okay. Congratulations on the 63 lbs !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTealael 25,439 Posted February 27, 2018 Finally came off a 2 week stall, I was 199 now 194. No rhyme or reason to my stalls at all. I don't weigh myself at home, I only trust the scales at the physicians offices. 3 ahnormandeau, BusyMom945 and bogglesauce reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meech513 79 Posted February 28, 2018 So I had my 3 month visit today and am officially down 70 lbs . My surgeon seemed kind of shocked. Did anyone else’s surgeon/nutritionist seem surprised by your weight loss? 4 karamelmami, tovasha, JavaKnut and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it’s been 3 in a half months technically and I now weigh 160. But I also lead a very active life. Today I took 22 thousand steps and I go swimming 3 times a week only for 30 minutes. So I’m going to have blood work done this week because my surgeon just wants to be sure I don’t have an deficiencies since the surgery with my rapid weight loss. 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
