No pounds but see the difference



Recommended Posts

Gm bandsters,

I woke up this morning and decided to weigh myself but low and behold no lbs lost. Eveytime I look in the mirror I see a difference in my shape. Looks smaller to me but why aren't those lbs dropping? Does this happen to anyone? Surgery date Feb 21, 13 lost 15 lbs then back up 4lbs. What's going on?.

your losing weight

just because the scale isnt moving (or up one day)

doesnt mean you are not losing as you obviously are (by looking at your pretty self in the mirror). to me, and my opinion only, losing inches means more to me that what a scales finicky variances say....if your clothes are looser, then yep you are losing. (it could be up by TOM, sodium, not drinking enough, who knows)...congrats on doing a great job

It's such a roller coaster ride if you only rely on the scale to determine your success. Don't let the numbers frustrate you! It may take a while, but you'll get where you want to be! Good luck and don't let the scale mess with your head!!!

Thank you! I have officially as of yesterday stop standing on the scale every morning. It was becoming a bad habit. I guess ill see my weight on April 8th at my fill date.

I had to learn to do the same thing. I was watching the scale to much and not focusing on the overall me. This is a lifestyle change that we have to be committed to so if the scale is not moving i still get satisfaction in my clothes being looser or wearing something i could not before

Grat job! Sometimes your body needs to catch up. It is a really good thing to keep track of your measurements!

If inches are gone weight will catch up! No worries.

I have a pair of jeans I try on once a week...Saturday morning. They are my benchmark to how I am doing on this journey.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
