6 Weeks Out Weight Loss Slow Hate The Scale But Pictures Help



Recommended Posts

I'm six weeks out today and was really frustrated with the scale but continue to walk everyday. Yesterday my son made a slide show of before and after pictures and that made me feel so much better. Still have a ways to go but loving the progress so far.

Looking great! The scale can't differentiate between Water, muscle, and fat. Photos don't lie. Keep your spirits up. You are doing a great job!

Thanks everyone I feel great. I'm down two sizes in clothes. According to the scale I've lost 25 pounds. I've had a couple stalls but notice once it's over I'll lose alot at once. I am walking five miles a day and doing intervals of jogging at .25 miles. Most of all I am happy.

Wow! You look absolutely great!!!! Keep it up.......I might be losing the lbs but definitely don't feel too much difference in my clothes. People only notice the weight loss in my face......at some point maybe my face will disappear while the rest just settles on my knees! You look fabulous...pictures show the amazing transformation in you!

You rock it girl!

Thanks. Have you taken before and after pictures and compared. Before these pictures I swore I wasn't losing any weight. I think it's harder for us to notice.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
