I ignored the urge to weigh myself this morning since I weighed myself last Monday.   I'm really going to try to stay away from the scale.

Glad you're gtetting beeped at again!

Someone else told me that too. I was in the chat room and they said once a month weigh-ins are the best. Must.. fight.. the urge.... I like my scale though. It beeps at me when I've lost weight.. lol

Great news! Congratulations!  

I struggled with a stall a couple of weeks ago, too.  Then, all of a sudden, I lost 9 lbs. in a week!   I spoke with a friend who had RNY a couple of years ago and she swears by once-a-month weigh ins.   She said that if you stall and only weigh yourself monthly, most of the time the scales have gone down over the entire month.  I may start doing that instead of weighing myself weekly.

Topic: Some encouragement for stalling...

Hi Everyone. I had my surgery on 12/31/08. 

I've been on this stall for about a week and a half and was reading and reading about stalls and when they happen. I was kinda depressed about it, but after everything I read, I pretty much chalked it up to what was normal and figured I would wait it out.

I weight myself last night and I was at 272. I'd been hovering around that and 274 for about two weeks.

I weight myself this morning and it said 269.

 

So, I hope the stall is over. I hope this offers some encouragement too to anyone else who might be in a stall. What they say is true. just stick to what you're supposed to be doing, and it starts to move again.

Topic: RE: Anybody tried Sushi??
I"m so gald to see this post! I love sushi and was more concerned about not being able to get the seaweed chewed up. spinach does something horrible to be and I think it's because when cooked, it's so thin, it slips through and sticks to the lining of my pouch. I was going to try some sashimi, figuring that would eliminate the seaweed issue. but i was concerned about the rice too..

Juice works great with me so far. I am only about 2 weeks out but they gave me deluted apple juice the second day at the hospital. I drink a glass of OJ everyday! It sits fine. Try Simply Pure...its NOT from concentrate....the apple and oj are GREAT!!

Topic: RE: Gained weight
I hit a stall for about 2 weeks I would loss2 gain 3.  I was about to panick then all of a sudden I am losing again.  So when I think about it since 12/8 I have lost a total of 40lbs, not bad for 2 months I'll take it.  And then I am realizing this is a tool so they work outs and eating correctly are a must.  So I think we appreciate it better as we work for it.

Yep, they are worse but more regular, every 28days.
Sorry about the ulcer.  Before surgery I had a fair share of them.  Hopefully pouchy will heal and be good to you.
