  1. So on January 6th I had my surgery. I am down 22 pounds, but I find myself obsessed with the scale. For the past three days he has not moved in either direction. I find myself getting frustrated and I want to know how others have handled this craziness. Thanks!

      It made me crazy in the beginning too. I just came out of yet another 2.5 week stall, and that's a pretty common occurrence, but I've still lost over 100 pounds in less than 6 months, even though it seems like nothing was happening. It all evens out in the end, just take care of yourself and the scale will move again soon.

      Thanks Cervidae! This morning, I didn't get on the damn thing.

      I am a daily weigher and have had plenty of arguments with my scale. I threaten it! It's glass so I tell it that I will throw it out the window if it doesn't tell me what I want to see.

      All joking aside, when I have been in a stall longer than a week, I stay off for a while. My longest stall was 28 days.

  2. I was sleeved January 6th. I am still really tired. My starting weight was 216 (day of surgery). I weighed myself this morning and I am 196--which is so crazy to me. I am still really tired, on pureed foods--so hummus, cottage cheese, plain NF yogurt etc. I feel so free in the sense that I am not constantly thinking about food--but also a bit sluggish. It's amazing. I can't wait to go swimming--one more week.

      I look forward to non-pureed food! I am so sleepy, but so glad I was sleeved.

      Your sleepiness could be the anesthesia still. Some people have difficulty getting it out of their system. Be kind to yourself. If your sleepy, take a nap. It's your "Diva" moment!
