Thanks for the advice! In this case, I didn’t care about the stall. I was more so concerned about losing 17 lbs in one week and being 6 months post-op. Us bariatric patients are a strange group. It seems like lose or not, we’re always finding reasons to worry. LOL! I’m just gonna go with what the scale says and not stress about it. Thanks again!!

Check your battery. But any way you slice, you gotta love and give mad proppahs to THE WHOOSH!
(IDK...I kinda dig weighing nekkidy daily, the having my clothed PP/AP recordings that then get subtracted from the nekkidy total. Hahahahaaha! I keep some impressive data... )

I weigh myself every morning... I don't get down on myself for stalls. Because i have been down this road before, i know that things can change quickly..... I found i will stall a few days and then bam!!! 1-2lbs. Just take it as it comes. If you are weight training... this could be why you stalled also.... i know after band removal and pre sleeve... i was doing crossfit and the scale was not my friend....

Not everyone is "driving them self nuts with the scales". Many of us are perfectly capable of weighing regularly and still keeping it all in perspective. There is not only one path to weight loss success. What works for you may not work for someone else.
There are a lot of bariatric rules I do not follow. But logging all my food and weighing myself regularly was critical to my success in my weight loss phase, and continues to be now that I am in maintenance

I definitely see your logic here, but I’m working with a trainer, and I have some very specific fitness goals I’m trying to achieve. Weekly weigh-ins, measurements, and progress pics are necessary. If he adjusts my diet, he’ll have me step on the scale a couple of days later to see what effect it has on me. He’s worked with bariatric patients before, but this is type of loss is making him scratch his head too. Thanks for your input tho!

Yes
STOP STEPPING ON THE scale - IT IS NOT A SET THING EVERY MONTH~! Everybody except me is driving them self nuts with the scales, if you know you are on course and following the plan just enjoy your life and you are getting healthy and happy! The number does not matter but twice a month - then take those numbers and divide them by 52 weeks a year! This is a journey not a sprint i had weeks i lost 15 pounds then weeks i lost 3 - but after six months the average was great and i was happy and done!

I mean thats pretty awesome! lol But maybe just double check tomorrow morning. The body can do some weird things. Its certainly strange but see how tomorrow looks and then go from there maybe. Or try another scale and see if it comes back the same.

My rule of thumb is that I have to get the same number on the scale for three days in a row for it to be a "real" reading

Same! 22 lbs since 7/24! My surgeon said that’s average.

I decided pre-surgery that I did not have to be the poster child for bariatric surgery awareness. So it's Noneya. As in Noneyabeezewax. LOL.
I just smile and say, "Yep, I'm working my ass off literally and figuratively. Who knew that diet and exercise really work?!

My first goal for 2019 was to lose 50lbs by 50 years old. I turn 50 on Saturday and this morning i finally met my goal!!! 50lbs lost since 01/4/19 and 25lbs since surgery 7/23/19... woop woop!!!
We just got back from New Orleans and I realized that i didn't need to eat or drink alcohol to truly enjoy myself, its who you surround yourself with! My sister came over from London, my daughter and her partner, my nephew plus 3 of my best friends and we had a blast!! The celebrations will continue for the next 2 weeks while other friends and family arrive from abroad to Celebrate this milestone withme.

4 weeks post op and 20 lbs down since surgery! I met my goal for this four weeks! I was initially sad that I wasn’t losing as quickly as everyone else I saw, but my surgeon said that 20-30 is average for the first month, so I feel much better. Besides, I lost 21 lbs during the 2-week liquid diet, so I’m 41 down overall!

Hey all! Just wanted to give a quick update now that the first 7 days are over! I was sleeved on 7/24. I was supposed to go home on 7/25, but I had such severe nausea and vomiting that I couldn’t get discharged until 7/26. I haven’t had any real pain, but the nausea has been a b****! It has just now slowed down. Luckily, I was sent home with a prescription for Zofran, so I’ve been taking it as directed.

I’ve only lost about 7 lbs this first 7 days, but I did lose 21 lbs during the two week liquid diet, so I’m not really complaining. I know this is a marathon and not a sprint. Hope everyone else is doing well!!

I'm 12 days post op. Feeling really good, walking a good bit, hitting my Protein goals every day, but still trying to get more fluids. Can't seem to get more than 50 ounces. I'm only 5 pounds down from surgery day; that seems low to me, especially now that I'm seeing other people's numbers. I know the weight will come off, and we've just barely started, but isn't it supposed to be jump started now during the liquid and puree stage? I've just been on liquids (purees start on Monday for me) and following things pretty precisely. Anyone else not lose very much yet?

The one big downer being 5'1 and 300lbs before surgery. Is when I lose 30 lbs in a month, no one notices. I feel great and so happy, I want to scream it from the mountain top. Not that I want everyone saying "wow, you look awesome", but just one person would be nice. Still HIGH FIVE FOR ME!!!!😁😁

Just wanted to update everyone! I had my surgery on 7/24! I was supposed to only have an overnight stay, but I couldn’t keep anything down all day Thursday, so I earned an extra day. I was discharged today, and I still have some gas pain. Just trying to walk and sip. Prayers for everyone who still has procedures this month!
