Wls 2/13. Scale Isn't Moving:(



Recommended Posts

I know this all will take time but to see weekly progress even if only one pound would be encouraging and satisfy my question of was this even worth it?

The first week home, hell week as it was, was an 8lb loss, then from there the bext two weeks were only 3 more.

It'll be a month this coming Tuesday the 13th and I've gained three pounds this last week and lost one. Yes gained:(

Yes I am following all the diet and exercise and Water advice my NUT is giving me. I'm getting in all my Proteins and not eating crappy stuff.

I'm not cleared to exercise with weights so it isn't a matter of weight being more due to muscle mass.

I do feel hungry all the time but since I use the app tracker called my fitness pal on my iPhone I am very clear of every Protein, fat, carb, and so on thy I'm consuming and my NUT says I'm doing perfectly!

So why aren't I losing?

Seems so odd that someone can be eating as few calories as I am, drinking an ocean of Water, taking 9 damn Vitamins a day and walking or treadmilling over an hour at minimum 7 days a week.

This weekend ends a month of Sadness and frustrating at the least....

I am going through the same thing, scale hasn't moved in a couple weeks. I try to concentrate more on how much better I am feeling already and that my clothes are for sure fitting looser. Even though you are not lifting weights, you are building up muscle walking on the treadmill and I bet loosing inches. Give your body a chance to adjust to the major change it just went through. I have 1 pair of pants I am using to judge how I am still losing inches even though the scale isn't moving. I had them on last week and they were a little looser on me, but then I put them on this week and they were falling down without a belt even though no change on the scale!

I feel exactly the same way. The only thing that keeps me going is that with as little I eat, my body has got to catch up at some point. My clothes are getting baggier so something is happening. It's hard to not see the scale move after all this work. I think my biggest surprise is that I thought I'd lose more quickly.

2/13 here also. If you're doing it right, it WILL catch up. It has to. It's mathematically impossible for it NOT to. I've stalled out for a few days here, but plateaus happen. Then the drop. It's coming, don't worry. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

Look at it this way: How many posts do you see on here that say "I've done everything right for _____# of months and I haven't lost any weight and I'm still huge. eh? eh? That should encourage you. :)

I didn't lose an ounce in February, but I lost THREE pants sizes. I did drop 3 pounds a couple of days ago, and I'm excited, but I've been literally watching my body change shape in the last couple of months. From round to more of an hourglass. Keep the faith, follow the plan, and enjoy the journey!! :)

Some of the most noticeable "loss" according to my hubby was while I was in a 3 week stall...I didn't loose any weight but I lost inches.

Do your jeans seem loose? Did you know your waist size before? I bet you have lost inches if not lbs.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
