Finally figured out how to ZAP out a stall! (for me anyways)
Mar 22, 2013
So, all of these stalls I was facing were awful! I finally figured out what was going on after talking to my mom, who also had the VSG sleeve op.
I wasn't eating enough.
Yes, our new tummies are small and we can only fit a small amount in them, so that's not what I'm talking about.
I wasn't eating enough times throughout the day.
Now when I wake up my goal is to eat something small. (I'm not a morning eater, so that's why I say, something small.) It jump starts my metabolism. I usually go for some nuts or a slice of cheese. And, now I make it a point to eat throughout the day. Before I was only eating in the afternoon once and the evening once...and I was quite content with that...I didn't have an appetite before the afternoon...
Now, appetite or not, I "graze" throughout the day. Eating a piece of cheese, or 1/2 an ounce of nuts, or a piece of bacon, or an ounce of fish, etc...I try to eat at least 5 times a day.
And, I try to not drink anything for at least 10 minutes before eating, that way I can eat more....otherwise I might only be able to eat half of a snack.
So, in the past 2 weeks, I've lost 6 pounds. My BMI is 28.9 and my weight is 190. :-)
Safe to say that snacking all through the day is working wonders to keep the stalls at bay...at least for now!
