Hi Lindsay, I just spoke to my nutritionist and was told that we will only be able to take in 2 onz. OMG!! It is soooo little. I thought we would be able to take in like 4onz.. I guess that is only in the beginning.....
So how are you doing? Physically I mean, no more pain? eating easier?
This place is like ghost town compared to the Ontario fourm! C'mon people! :)
What is everyone eating today?
I KNOW you can!
Lindsay and I were at the gym tonight and we felt like a million bucks ! You will too!!!!
Xox keep it up girl, this is your time!!!!
Thanks Ada..
yea 'thing' aren't 'moving'... I've got like 5 days of ammunition ;) TMI? lol
Tonight ill beef up the Restorolax and hope for the best!
You're at the dreaded 3 week stall...very common. The body is adjusting...catching up. Give it the time it needs and as difficult as it is...stay off the scale!!!
I've had MANY stalls and the latest one I've just gotten out of it and lasted over a month!!! The best thing I've done is not weigh myself every day. I weigh myself once a week or every two weeks...I look at how my clothes fit, my body and how I feel.
Keep eating well and increase the fibre. Martine once told me that you want to get things moving...increase the fibre.
Bye for now,
Ada
Thank you, I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THAT! So I am not CRAZY, you do know where I am coming from. Its like I start my day thinking "O.k today is the day I put myself back on track" but then something stupid happens and you eat!!! How convenient! I know its wrong. Its an emotional bond I have with food. It is an instant comfort and defense thing.
Thank you, thank you, I KNOW I NEED TO BE KICKED IN THE BUTT TO MOVE FORWARD!!
I THINK I CAN DO IT!!

Hey lady!
I can totally get where you are coming from, with my surgery being canceled the DAY before.. after the 2 weeks of optifast! It was VERY hard for me to get motivated and excited about my second surgery date!
If I can offer ANY advice it's this: Embrace your new journey you are about to embark on, it WILL happen, EVERY thing happens for a reason, and although it maybe not be clear at times, in the end it will all make sense! Hang in there, stay strong and realize that when it's your time,it's your time! You have one of the best surgeons out there, and he will take amazing care of you, his goal at the end of the day is to give you a healthy new stomach for you to enjoy for the rest of your life, BUT, he wants that to be a long life, so if he didn't do it last time because of your spleen and wanted to be sure, good on him for taking it one step further to ensure it would be safe, rather than be careless and hacking away!!!
In 2 months, this will all be a distant memory and you will be comfortably sitting on the looser bench!
EYE on the PRIZE!
Oh Lindsey, I know your right 100% but I can't seem to get passed this. I'm finding this mentally hard to focus right now.
OMG a month ago you couldn't stop me, I was so focused, head strong and so diciplined and I felt so good about myself.
But now, no more and I know I need to build it. I just want this sooooo bad and feel like it won't happen. I'm not sure if I am making any good sense.
As per your stall I have read that even though your not losing, your body is reorganizing itself. Basically, your weight is not coming off but your losing sizes. Then you'll see that you will lose all at once. Try not to fixate on the scale and don't think about the weight loss. Your down the right path. Stay focused, If you stray your mindset will be like mine! So, don't do it.....Keep on going!!!:)
