The scale may not be moving, but the fat is



Recommended Posts

These are capri's I couldn't wear last summer, they were way too tight.

So despite the scale not moving since 1 week post op, clearly something is happening.

It's hard to not see the scale move but the reward is putting on clothes that you couldn't wear or were to tight and now there loose or way to big. I don't own a scale anymore and I don't think I'm getting another. Keep up the great job

A lot of people don't lose rapidly until 6 weeks post-op. I lost the most weight months 3-6. Just stick to your plan. Most of your stomach is missing, your muscles have been cut, your body is freaking out and most of its energy is going to repairing itself. The weight loss will come.

Thank you! Thank you for some positive news. I know stalls happen, I know weight loss is different for everyone but sometimes when week after week the scale stays the same, it's hard to keep looking forward.

I know, I know. Knowing that it's normal, knowing that it doesn't mean you will fail are helpful.

But at some point I still wanna be mad, doesn't mean I am giving up, or think I failed. Just means I am mad, I am jealous, and I want some some recognition for my hard work to show in the numbers. I am not needy all the time, but sometimes seeing those numbers not move since week 1, and now going on three weeks of the same numbers... I think it's fair to be annoyed. KWIM?

It's also hard because some people lose weight the quickest in the first 6 weeks, others don't really getting started until later. It's nice to hear something new.

New kids like me get it, but doesn't mean we have to like it. ;)

I haven't lost any weight since April 1! My surgery was Feb 23 and I'm only down about 26 lbs since surgery. Admittedly, I'm frustrated and have been eating more junk because of it and feeling crappy. I think I need to spend more time here, getting inspiration. Thanks for sharing! :)

My old habit was to eat bad choices when I would stall on diets in the past. I am resisting the urge. I just keep keeping, hoping one day I wake up and a few pounds will be gone.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
