The Weight Isn't Budging...

I have been stuck at 245-247 for 2 weeks. I am 4 1/2 weeks post op. i was 280 pre op and 260 day of surgery. Lose a pound, gain 2. Lose 2, gain a pound. It's been 1 heck of a seesaw!

But!!!!!!! I tried on some clothes that were very snug 2 weeks ago when I was still 246 and they fit now! I used to wear a size 18 jean and today I slipped ok a size 14! Just want to remind u all that even if the scale isn't moving, don't get discouraged. Tere are other ways Rolf judging an measuring :)

    Don't get discouraged! My scale went up 2 lbs (prob. water) and I know it is just a matter of time before I lose it and several more pounds. It has to go down! There's only 1 way for it to go from now

Wow my phone went autocorrect crazy on me. I meant size 15 not 14 and the last sentence should say there are other ways of judging and measuring lol

It's always nice to hear the reminder! I was at an almost 3 week plateau at 4 weeks post surgery. But you're right- my clothes keep feeling different even though the scale doesn't always move. Thanks for the post!!!! Keep up the good vibrations!

So I get these terrible headaches, And I just got sleeved 10/30/12, has anyone experienced the horrible headaches? I need to get some stool softeners also. When they say liquid foods after 1 week, would that be 11/06 for me, cream soups, Mashed potatoes.

Me too! I answered a question wrong in post op appointment and was given another week liquid! I'm OK with it though..

Hi! The headaches could be from the anesthesia. It can stay in your body for a really long time. As soon as you can, try to really up your liquid intake. And sometimes sitting in a steam room can help. But if they continue, please see your doc. Headaches can also be a result of high blood pressure.

Congrats on being sleeved!!

Hey skinnieminnie sounds like you're doing awesome. I stalled right before my period and now that it's started I'm losing again. I also have to eat low carb or else my weight loss stalls :/
