Ok...I know what you all are going to say:wink:...but I am 8 days post op, on full liquids for another 6 days. Since surgery, I have lost ummmm....about 7 or 8 ish pounds. The scale has stalled at the same weight for 3 days now. I "know" you can lose like 1 or 2 pounds A DAY forever.....but I am thinking....GEEESH...I am drinking freakin' liquids here people...you'd think it would keep falling off for now.

Anyone experience this stall so "early" in the post op phase? I sort of expected it when we add food back in....maybe it's my body's way of healing? Who knows. I am not discouraged but just wondering if I am doing anything "wrong"....:bored:

One of the times I successfully lost weight on WW I lost rapidly...and soon hated it. I began to add non-WW foods to slow my loss because my skin was really getting loose and unattractive. And I have seen people with full bypasses left with stretch marks and loose folds from rapid loss. I chose the band because it offered slow loss...so hopefully my skin will be able to "keep up", and I can gradually work eating changes into my life for the long term. I found myself getting impatient and looking at the scale too often this past month, and keep reminding myself that for any other diet, I would be thrilled with losing 14 pounds in a month. I think, having made this momentous, life-changing decision, I am somewhat surprised to look in the mirror and NOT be instantly size 10...and of course, 18 again. Then again, sometimes on a good day, I am surprised at seeing any ,uh, mature woman in the dratted mirror.
