Kellykellykelly got a reaction from Frustr8 in Overnight weight loss
Yes! Google “weight loss whoosh”. Basically your body is retaining Water so that even if you are losing fat, the scale doesn’t change. Then one day for some unexplained reason, your body decides to release all that water. This is actually the only way that I lose weight- I’ll be at the same weight for 2-3 weeks then wake up one morning 7 lbs lighter. It’s very consistent and super strange but I’ve gotten used to it by now! I’ve also noticed that I’m more likely to have a whoosh the morning after I’ve cheated a little bit on my diet (shhh don’t tell ;)

Kellykellykelly got a reaction from Boldilocks in Stalled already(!??) or insulin resistance?
THANK YOU! I too have PCOS and I have never heard from another’s experience with IR and PCOS, I can’t even tell you how helpful this is and how much hope it gives me. I too have been eating 1300/1500 calories for years and still gained. In the past it seemed that there was *nothing* I could do to make the scale budge, no matter how patient I was. My main motivation for the surgery was bc I have read quite a lot about how sleeve can immediately improve IR. As soon as the scale stopped last week my first thought was “oh no, here we go again”. Your story gives me so much hope (something I haven’t had in years)! Thank you!!!!

At 11 days post-op you're still very much healing. My doctor's office won't even talk about weight loss until 6 weeks post-op because it takes several weeks for the body to "calm down" and normalize after surgery. You're inflamed and in pain and your body is reeling from its surgical experience. Just keep doing what your doc and NUT say, and this will pass!
I just looked at my records and at 11 days post-op I'd "only" lost 13 pounds from my surgery weight. I stayed there for a week and a half. But I'm 6 months post-op tomorrow and down 73 from surgery date! Let your body heal and the weight will resume dropping!

I did it. They took me off metformin as soon as I started losing weight while waiting for approval. I lost 30 pounds in the 4 months it took until my surgical date. I’m a couple pounds away from losing 90 now and nearly 30 below goal weight.
You hang in there. Work your program. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. If you are doing what you’re supposed to be doing, your body and sleeve will get you there. Everyone has a different timeline. You go!
