i actually stalled for 3 weeks! but i had started walking/jogging 1.5 miles 3-5xs a week and started doing the Winsor Pilates 20 min. work-out so while i was losing inches, and gaining muscle, i wasnt losing any weight... which was still discouraging. weird, isnt it? this past week i havent walked/jogged due to my knee acting up and i have lost 5 pounds. and while you havent had wise food choices, you said yourself that you would have binged in the old days... please forgive yourself and start fresh again. it will pass... *hugs*

Hi, Sharon! I have had not one, but two stalls so far! One in February and one in April... Now it is coming off again, thank goodness! Being in onederland is wonderful! Congratulations! I still have about 40 lb. to go to get there, but I WILL get there. It is frustrating when I see how much others have lost, but I am just going to plug away at it! HUGS, Pat

Susan, I am in the same boat exactly two weeks no scale movement.I havnt been to the gym in weeks and I think my inactivity is causing this stall.I have to confess also I havnt gotten my protien in either.I have to recommit myself to this and use this surgery as it was intended ,as a tool.I thonk I became complacent in the fact I would lose weight anyway.Whew that felt good,confession is good for the soul.

My Dr. said I could have protein shakes forever! And I'm a glad girl. I like them. I had one for breakfast-for lunch-well, we went out to eat-and I had a little of this and a little of that...ie... 1/2 stuffed meatball, couple bites of baked beans, couple bites of taco-with meat and cheese, small ice cream-yum-and a 1/2 piece of sugar free bluberry pie. I also ate a french fry and a bite of chicken...when I do that--eat a lot more than I should at a meal-then the next meal I have another shake. I try and get at least 30 minutes of cardio-walking 3 mph-5 or 6 days per week..drink lots of water and drink lots of decaf coffee. Yesterday-for the first time since surgery I had a caffiene free diet coke. I'm gonna ask at my next appointment if that's ok-I don't really know for sure. My problem is the long time between dinner and breakfast-not snacking is hard for me-and although, I can't eat too much at a meal-I could snack all day if I permitted myself. I've been pretty much sticking to rice cakes and fat free chips-but it's hard sometimes.

Hi Susan, I feel your pain and concerns - although i donot have a scale at home i have also been bad - i will tell you : toast, 3 to 4 spoons of rice, slice of chocolate cake, ( my dumping is feeling extremly sleepy) salt and vinegar chips, - now i know as well as everyone newbie that these things a re a nono - but like you i also know that if it was before wls it also would be an all out binge. I've told myself that as of Monday i will start back to the basics measuring everything, and forcing only water instead on crystal light and or diet snapples. i too feel that i might now loose anymore weight when i saw the dr last week i was down to 234 but knowthat i could of lost more - also reading online about the 6 month honeymoon period is really scaring me - so i to need to stick with the program - hey thanks for letting me vent as well - email me we can be each others rooting partner - JO
