On June 2, 2012 I had Gastric Sleeve surgery in Juarez, Mexico. This blog follows my journey, thoughts and challenges regarding a lifetime of being "just a pretty face" and the road to a healthier me!

Hold Up....Wait a Minute

Ugghhh......STALL!!  Part of the process of losing weight after Gastric Sleeve surgery includes moments of STALLING.  I personally hate it even though I know it is just part of the process.  The body goes through phases and some are ups/losses, some are downs/stalls.  I am in a stall right now.  Nothing has changed with anything I have done.  My body has just decided to take a break.  I guess losing weight is hard work for the bod???

Last week was the "time of month" and that still makes me feel like CRAP!!  I was hoping it would get better and still keeping the faith with some more weight loss. I have severe bloating with it and like I have posted before, I do not weigh during that time.  I had been at a stall for a few days before TOM and now I am still stalling this week.  Vicious cycle...literally. 

I have become the most over analytical person.  I'm sure my family laughs when they read this because I used to be severely impulsive.  Now I am so painfully over analytically that I pick things apart for the worse.  So, stalling stresses me out.  I start trying to figure out what I changed about my eating habits, vitamins, drinks,  exercise etc.  OVER STRESSING this big time but tis my personality.   I have new vitamins but they are actual Bariatric vitamins so those are ok.  I just feel fat.  So girly of me!  But been a while since I could say that so....I feel fat!!

Tonight I turned to some other girls that had the same surgery as I did, with the same surgeon, same time frame etc and  they made me feel better. Total strangers from my support group that I have never met but sister for life for all we have been through.  They all said they have stalled too and it is normal.....and will pass.  Uggghhhh.....next!!
