No More weight coming off...and bummed

[hotchocolate 0]

I am 25 days post op and I hit a wall also. My surgery was August 11, 2009 and the first week I lost 26 lbs. The next week 2 lbs. Since the 2nd week nothing. My support group members told me to stop getting on the scale every day. They said that it was normal and that even though I was not seeing the scale move, I was probably losing inches. And my old pants are falling off, even my panties.

Now after reading this post, I think it is normal. Thanks for asking the question because I was starting to feel like it was only me.

Wow, and here I was thinking I was the only one at a stall! The scale FINALLY budged today 1.5lbs. I'm almost 3 weeks out (Monday) and feeling frustrated too. However, my husband was on a business trip all week and when he got home last night he said I looked a LOT thinner, especially in my face and stomach! Those darn scales, I think theirs a little guy in their laughing at us!

Yes, I agree, there is some scale gremlin who says "Here she comes, keep your foot on the same weight as yesterday button so she thinks she's not losing ..... heh-heh-heh!" I'm going to squash that guy when I find him!:scared0::blushing:

Hotchocolate -- no you are not alone - EVERYONE has hit a stall -- I'm at stall #3 in 3 months - however, I've lost 43 lbs. so I'm not complaining - and I know the scale will start moving again (or I'll catch that little gremlin unawares and he wo't be able to keep his foot on the same number button) ... hang in there, you're doing great -- remember, it didn't come on overnight, it's not going to come off overnight either -- and take encouragement in the NSV (non-scale victories) like your pants and panties falling off -- however, please be at home when that happens okay?

Yeah most days I am at home, but Friday I was out and my panties just slipped right on down. Luckily I had on a belt with my jeans. :lol0::lol0:

This really did make me laugh out loud.

[GONNALOSEWEIGHT 2]

LOL...it made me laugh out loud too.

[DownInSocal 12]

HA! I am not the only one who loses my panties in public.

[*susan* 1,709]

You too! Oh no, this is turning into a regular epidemic!

[Bob_350lbs 105]

It's time we seriously shopped for some new panties, girls. It is an epidemic, happened to me more than once! It wasn't a pretty sight. Most of you girls have lower BMIs than me, so I know you could shop at VS now. How fun! I found a cool catalog that sells affordable and quality lingerie, w/matching panties/bras that are very sexy, yet supportive for the boobage, 38-48+, can't shop at VS yet.

[*susan* 1,709]

Ahhh, shopping at VS, one of my main goals to achieve yet. I can't wait to buy something sexy from there.

[MacMadame 81]

Oh, susan, I was so disappointed in my VS trip! I have two bras I bought there but they didn't really have my size so selections were limited and I don't like the bras I bought.

Oh well, at least I can say I did it.

Friday I wore my "skinny jeans" that I bought at Hot Topic on clearance and I had to pee. I was in a hurry so I just pulled them down without unzipping them. They came right off too! Just two months ago when I first bought them, they were tight!

Spandex I tell ya! Panties with a little

spandex instead of all nylon/ cotton blend

will make them stay up and make it

so you can wear them longer before

changing sizes again.
