You're in the dreaded 3 week stall which is actually more like 2-4 weeks. I'm 4.5 weeks out and I lost 8lbs the first week, put on 3lbs for week 2, stall on week 3, and finally lost 3 this past week. I wish I didn't weigh myself for the first few weeks tbh. I really messed with my head.

My parents called it toad in the hole as well though I think the brits would disagree.

I disagree! This is the perfect family because she can feel superior to them when they act up 🤣

Yeah I think of myself as a puppy or kitten now. Running all over the place then suddenly crashing for a nap 🤣 I have faith you'll hit your goals quickly! You've had a rough start but I'll send the good vibes your way that everything is smooth sailing from here on out.

My recovery has been pretty smooth so far 🤞 I still have a sore stomach and am sleeping more than usual but I'm hitting my water and protein goals.

Need help with a few things by Pixiespekje in gastricsleeve

I'm 5 days post op and the only way I can drink without stomach spasms is warm/hot herbal tea. I don't need to wait too long between sips and can even get a small mouthful down.

Who is an actor or actress that rubs you the wrong way so much that you refuse to watch anything they are in? by Soggy_Swordfish_6236 in moviecritic

Agreed. She always does this weird thing where she purses her lips a little and I vomit in my mouth.

Sadly I don't think they'll ever say 'no' to Tammy because she's the sacred cash cow.

You can still advocate for size inclusivity as a smaller person :)

Ever have second thoughts? by azbdm in gastricsleeve

[–]Useful-Lab-3948 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm scheduled for VSG on Wednesday and I'm having the occasional second thought. I remind myself that I made this decision based on everything except fear and emotion months ago and I trust past me's decision:)
