Why Am I Standing Still???



Recommended Posts

Why have I not lost ANYTHING in the past three days?

Two weeks post surgery, the weight has been dropping consistently, until three days ago...

No change in calorie intake, still below goal every day; moderate exercise, walking and climbing stairs.

What am I doing wrong???

You're not doing anything wrong. The average weight loss post surgery is 1-2 pounds a week. As you lose more, expect plateaus that last for weeks, not days.

You simply can't expect weight loss daily long term. It's very unrealistic.

Don't expect the scales to drop every day. Some days you will even see an increase. It is all perfectly normal.

If possible, only weigh yourself once a week at the same time of the day. i.e. my official weigh in is first thing Saturday morning. Anything that happens on the scales in between just doesn't count.

You are still healing slowly. Some people will hit stops and no weight loss. Just keep steady on your foods and lots of Water. It will come and then you will start losing weight. Be patient.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
