Okay. So I know "stalls" happen and that I'll get over this hump....but REALLY? 2 weeks out? :crying:

This miserable diet of liquids only is the pits. I never want to see any chicken broth again a day in my life and now that I'm on "full" liquids, I'm already sick of Soups in general. The only reason this liquid diet and I get along is because I lost about 2lbs a day the first week. I was being a little obsessive with weighing and knew I needed to tone it down, so I decided to stick with once a week on Saturdays.

The last 2 days I could barely contain myself with excitement and anticipation waiting for "weigh day". I wake up this morning...glad it's finally weigh day and get on the scale and guess what the stupid scale said? It said I lost 0.6lbs since last Saturday. :w00t: BOOOOO!!!!!

What kind of miserable torture is this? This cruel diet...my head is spinning trying to consume enough calories so that I feel healthy and have energy to get me through the day, getting 70g of Protein and 64oz of fluids everyday....all this for 0.6lbs? :sneaky2:

I know it will get better....I just had to vent.

Thanks for listening!

I'm 6 weeks out and have only lost 12 lbs since surgery day. It was all the first week or so and I haven't lost any more weight in like 3 weeks. I'm a little frustrated but my clothes are looser so I think though I'm not losing lbs I think I might be losing inches.

I'm glad your clothes are feeling more loose! I wore a pair of jeans on Friday that were super tight pre-op and now they were just snug, so I'm sure I'm losing inches as well...

It really is discouraging, though isn't it?

Yes, clothing size is important, but you really want to see that scale move.

I'm only measuring once a month, so I have another 2 weeks, but I'm hoping I have more results there than with this darn scale!

I gained 26 lbs the week of my surgery, from swelling and all the IV fluids they pumped into me. I was almost 4 weeks out before I started to lose. But then it came off really well. Everyone's bodies adjust differently after the trauma of surgery. Hang in there it will come off. Best of luck.

I weighed this morning and was again discouraged because the scale hasn't moved. When I got to work I starting thinking that I really feel like I've lost more weight. I usually weigh on a new scale I have in my office but the last week or so I've been weighing on an old scale at home. So, feeling discouraged I got on the scale at work to make sure it was the same with home. Nope it wasn't. I had lost 4 more lbs according to the work scale. So, I'm going with that and hoping this stall is over:thumbup:
