Stalling but happy none the less!

I have been stalling at 258 for 2 weeks now. My dietician tells me at 3 and a half months out I should be eating 1000 calories, but having taken advice from here I eat between 600-800 like I have from the start of eating solid foods. Nevertheless I am in a stall. I have not changed my diet but I always have trouble getting all my liquids in. Usually they make me so full I am really not hungry anymore and I have to force myself to eat. However, during this stall I still seem to be losing inches. I took a picture yesterday and all of a sudden I saw a throat where my chin used to be, so I am very happy I can clearly see the changes now. I am not too worried about the stall, I know I am eating right and i am sure my body will kick into losing weight gear again soon, but for now, 3 and a half months out and 59 lbs down! I feel great!

You're doing great Judith!  Keep the path and that scale will be moving again soon. It always does!

I've read on here several times about a 3 month stall but I can't say for sure, I'm waiting for approval for my revision from band to sleeve

wow.  Congratulations.  What a change in just three months.  You are looking great.  And the best is yet to come! 

I think you are wise to keep the calories down as long as you can.  I found that over time, I added calories just because it felt like I needed a little more to feel ok.  But I didn't get to 1000 calories until maybe 9 months out, and I never set my goal over 1000.  In fact in maintenance I aim at 1200, knowing I'll cheat a little and average about 1400 which is where my balance seems to be.

best wishes,

Carol

Congratulations!  You are looking good.  Keep up the plan the stall will break.

That's great!

Looking good! Keep up the great work :) 

Not only a neck, but you've also got some suprasternal notch action going there! (that's the throat dent by the collarbone. I'm looking forward to a throat dent :))

Good job, lady!

You look happy and even younger now! Don't get discouraged. I went through a stall for 1 MONTH! Then, it finally broke and I lost like 5 lbs the week after my stall. Just keep doing what you are suppose to be doing and it will work out! I am 4 months out and feel GREAT!

Looking great and I love your attitude!  Keep up the positive outlook and the scale will be moving again soon.
