It's official I'm stalled

Well I am stalled at 233 for now. Hopefully it won't last long. This is the day that I get to start soft foods. I am so happy about that. Maybe the extra food will tell my body I am not starving and to give it up. I can always dream can't I???? Anna

THE STALL WILL END!!!!! Just keep on keeping on, Anna!

Hey Anna - it will end. It will! Your weight will go back down, you'll see. How long have you been at the stall? I was stalled last week for over a week. I WAS SO SAD! It's picked up everyday though and I'm losing a pound a day! Have fun with soft foods!

Hi Anna, I am stalled as well. I haven't moved from 241 for about a week now. Good luck and let us know how you are doing. Laura

You and me both. I have been stalled for a couple days now, but I hope to start an exercise regimen as soon as my body feels 100% healed. Hopefully that will help. I empathize with you!!

I'm right there with you. I've been stalled for nearly 3 weeks now, and I'm only 4 wks out (as of this friday). I've been losing and gaining the same 2 pounds since the end of the first week, its very frustrating. I'm doing everything by the book...protein, fluids, exercise...and yet the scales still won't budge. I had a huge pity party last night. Then this morning I put on my jeans (size 22) and they were just too baggy so I tried on a pair that I haven't been able to wear in two years (size 20) and they fit. So go figure. I measured last night after 8 days since my last measurements were taken and I was disappointed to see that I had lost 1/2 inch from my right arm...and that was all But something is happening because I've gone down a size in jeans and some of my other tops are fitting better. That could be from my initial 13lb. loss, I just don't know. So for now I will just keep on keeping on and see what happens. I'm beginning to feel like I'm going to be the first person ever to do everything right and still not lose weight! Hang in there, it has to end sometime Take care, Denise

I stalled for 10 days although I can feel my body is still shrinking. It looks like it is about to end AT LONG LAST until the next time that is. I know it is normal, but that sure doesn't make it any easier. this is what I have learned: it takes 3,500 calories to lose a single pound. Most of us are consuming under 1,000 calories a day post surgery and prior to surgery, we were consuming probably 3 or more times that amount. So if we do the math, we should rightfully be losing even when the scales are showing we are not. Mother nature works overtime to try to keep us from starving but she can't hold it in our bodies for too long before we will the battle against her. The human body, it is simply amazing!! Darla
