Grrr... scale not moving.



Recommended Posts

Sleeved 12/10, so I'm 18 post op today. scale has not moved since saturday. Well I take that back in gained almost 2lbs.

How does one gain when you are on full liquids and Water? I don't get it.

I'm not upset by any means but just questioning why?

I track everything, am getting my liquids and Protein in. I just started purees last night.

Overall km down 48lbs since I started this journey in august. I lost about 17 before the liquid diet, 15 on preop liquid and about 16 since surgery.

I guess I just got used to it coming off and no nothing for his week and I actually gained. Fooey! ;-)

This happened to me earlier this week. I just took in some more calories and saw the scale drop. Try getting a few more calories. Or make sure you are getting your full amount of Protein.< /p>

No worries Shrinkydink! I lost NOTHING the first week. 16 pounds in 18 days is amazing! You're probably still swollen, retaining Water, about to start your cycle, who knows! Your body just may be holding on to the pounds right now. You'll continue to lose!!! Patience is so hard after a drastic surgery, I know!

hi ShrinkyDinkMe22

good words of wisdom from Nicolanz

weight will come off - 2 lbs up, i get it, you have every right to be bummed - but you'll get rid of that nasty weight as quickly as it came on

early in the game - 2 week stall + ??

will get better soon - promise,

would i lie to you?? ;)

you'll find yourself to be a "big loser" in the new year!! :)

spirits up

good luck

I am having a similar problem like this the only thing is in further out then you are (11/15/12). I keep on losing and gaining the same 4lbs. I've asked my doctor but he just shrugs and says it happens.

I'm sure though that everything will work out just keep your head up ^.^

I was sleeved the same day I had a full week of the scale not moving but lost 2 inches off my waist. And if your not having bowel movements that could be why you gained. I didn't have one for almost 9 days, then had 5 in 2 days and lost a pound lol I don't worry about it, it will start moving again mine did :)

      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!!

      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?
