A Litte Discouraged...

OK, I KNOW I am being stupid here. The thing is, a long time ago, I used to not eat--like, a lot. And it worked. I lost a lot of weight, as you might imagine, very quickly. (Of course, said year and a half of not eating for days at a time screwed up my metabolism, I gained it all back plus a lot, and here I am.)

But today I am having an issue because the scale didn't move. I KNOW that I am being dumb, and surgery was only 10 days ago, but I keep seeing people who have lots tons of weight since surgery, and I feel like the scale should have moved at least a little today.

When this happens, I am always tempted to just not eat, but part of the whole surgery thing for me is that I don't have to and shouldn't do that, and I am NOT doing that. But I just want to know that I haven't messed anything up. Did anyone else stall in their second week?

Sigh. Thanks for reading.

    I am sure that most if not all have gone through what you are going through... My routine now is to weigh every monday morning...today I had a 3lb lost, last week it was 1.5...but I am not fretting..

  • I did too. For about three or four days. Everyone encouraged me to keep on that my body was healing. I then lost a couple of more pounds. So, keep doing what you are supposed to. It will work. A

I stayed the same weight for few days too, I find that when I drink 60oz of water, plus the water in my meals I the scale always moves even if its .2 lbs.

You guys are all wonderful, thank you. Yesterday I ate more than I had before, but with LOTS of protein and it makes me feel really energetic, which makes walking easier. So, thank you!!! All is well.
