So I am 8 days shy of being 4 months out and I have been gaining and losing the same few pounds for the past couple of weeks.  I eat the right amount of protein & carbs and I drink the right amount of fluids, so I know it is not anything that I am doing, still my mind has a way of making me feel sad or nervous about this process.

Anyway, I read an old post where Valerie said that during these stalls to get off the scale and go into your closet and try on clothes.  Well I went onto my closet and put on an old pair of shorts (since it feels like spring today!!) needless to say, the shorts are so big it is almost comical.  I decided to leave them on so that for the entire day I will be reminded of exactly how far I HAVE come in this short amount of time and to show myself how much my body WILL change in the next 4 months!!!!

Anyway, there is so much talk about stalls that I thought I'd share!

If you know you are doing all the right things use how your clothes fit, take your measurements, how stronger you feel, and make sure you take a photo once a month.  I just didn't see it but when I looked at photos  it was there!  

We look forward to your updates!

I am close to three months S/P VSG in 1/2015.  I am preparing to move.  Started in my closet...at first I dreaded it.  Then, I started to try things on first before I made decisions about keeping .  Oh my goodness!  So now I find checking my progress more with clothes than the scales.  Much less discouraging.

Congrats! The scale is just a number, it's hard not to get hung up on that number, but when you have a clothes NSV, its awesome.
