Trying Not To be Frustrated

Hi All!

 

I had my sleeve done on August 19th where I weighed 247 lbs. Today Sept 10th I weigh 237 lbs. I am totally ill with this number. I dropped those first 10 lbs the first week and now in my 4th week the scale won't move. I'm counting proteins and getting in at least 48 to 60 oz of water a day, plus working out 5 days a week. I am at a loss. All I can do is keep doing what I'm doing cause it's not like I can get upset and over eat since I can barely get down the little I eat now. Did anyone else have this issue? Sorry for this boo-hoo Blog. I just know next time will be better...

Sure, everyone has this. How much did you lose presurgery?

And you've lost 10 pounds in three weeks. Not Too Shabby!

I am the same way. I had surgery on 8/10/13. I lost 32 pounds in 2 weeks. Today I am one month out and have not lost another ounce in the last 2.5 weeks. I know it is normal though so i am not stressing. I know with the small amount I eat it would be impossible to not start losing again.

I just stay on course and remind myself before surgery if I had lost that amount, which was very unlikely to happen, I would have already gained most or all of it back.

Good luck! The scale will start going down for both of us.

Hey, don't apologize. That's what we're here for...to share the ups and the downs.

Although I can't offer any solutions, I'm glad you posted.

Hopefully someone else can help.

Hugs.

10 pounds in less than a month is good. Your body is just hanging on to the fat and it won't let it go,mine is doing the same thing. I have lost a pound within the last 2 weeks so don't feel bad. My body thinks its starving and has shut down the weight loss until it feels adjusted. Several years of bad habits just won't let my body accept the new me yet.
