This absolutely happened to me at this same time and I even wrote a post on here too. I'm now 4 weeks post op and just now starting to see the scale move again. In my 2-3 week period I would gain a lb, loose a lb and it was so frustrating. So, I understand. But give it a week or two and you will see it start dropping again!
I'm 42 lbs down (including my pre-op diet loss) so it does get better!

Hello everyone! Just checking in. I haven't been able to work out for at least 2 months because I had foot surgery and I'm really struggling with my Fluid and Protein. And I hate the Constipation. But I'm taking it day by day!
I've lost 129 lbs so far with another 26 to go but I feel so much better. I'm down from a 24 jeans to a 10/12! And this week, my family took Christmas card pics for the first time ever! Praise God for this new life.
Hope you're all doing great. Check in!

I'm sooo close to Onederland! And I can't remember a time in my life when I've been under 200 lbs. I'm at 112 lbs lost but it's coming off slow. I'm also still losing hair which is concerning. How are you guys doing???

My NSV is that I just got back from a cruise and I was really worried about eating. I was mindful but indulged some too. And the results were...I LOST A LB!!!! YAY! I'm now down 107 lbs and in a size 14! What??? I never thought I would get there.
And my other NSV was that I actually like our photos from our cruise. I have never bought one before but this one I really liked.
And btw, my husband is down 90 lbs too by just following my post-op diet.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU ALL!

@@Positive44, well I'm sure I have done what all of you have done...I think I just had a lot more weight to lose! I have uped my Protein to 90-100 a day and keep my carbs under 40 and try to keep my calories around 1000. I also work out 3x a week. But I still have 55 lbs to go and man is it coming off slower now! lol But you are the one that inspires me! I hope I can get to your size one of these days.
@@TxJP and thanks for your sweet encouragement! I had actually hit a stalls for a couple of weeks until my doctor told me I had to increase my Protein and then bam, it started coming off again! So, it might work for you too.

Hi Laurie, remember everyone's journey is different and 58 pounds is a loss, so it's great...why do you think your doing something wrong? What are you eating and drinking, how many calories/protein/carbs and are you exercising? Stay the course and know that support is here, let me know how I can possibly help
JennsJourney congrats on 112 pound loss and being close to onderland, that is awesome. I hadn't been losing hair previously but have started losing some and as it is with everyone, it's alarming. I am doing OK, I wish the scale would consistently move but she does what she wants. I went out of town this weekend and managed to not gain any weight so yayyyy there. I am practicing my patience skills and just going with the flow of this journey

I have been using Nivea Skin Toning and Firming Gel. I have a link below but I got mine at Walmart. It really seems to help. I also use it on my neck and have seen a big difference in my double chin! PRIASE JESUS FOR THAT! LOL

NSVs are my FAVORITE! I have shared them on my Facebook page and I can't tell you how many people have said it was refreshing to hear another plus size person talk about our struggles and victories! It is great to get support from them and inspire them to keep going as well. Here is my top 10 list!
1. I can cross my legs!
2. I have extra room in an airplane seat belt.
3. I'm down 4 pants sizes.
4. I can now shop in non-plus size stores.
5. I can sit cross-legged on the floor.
6. I can survive a Zumba class without dying! lol
7. I'm off all my blood pressure meds!
8. My wedding rings fit once again.
9. My husband has joined me in eating healthy and has lost over 60 lbs!
10. I can comfortably sit in a restaurant booth and don't have to worry about fitting in certain chairs.
I can't wait to hear about yours when you get there!
