You are probably still swollen from the surgery! It hasn't even been a month so don't worry. Stop weighing everyday! Weight fluctuates daily try once a week you will be happier! Hang in there it comes off!

I've found that I stick to a weight for a few days to a week and then get on the scale and a little block of weight comes off (3-5 lbs) all of a sudden. I am a slower loser too but the inches are coming off like crazy. Smaller sizes are now baggy and the things that fit 2 weeks ago are starting to look gross. Hang in there - it will happen! You don't see anyone on this site 8 months down the road going I've only lost 15 lbs!! :)))

I sure hope your husband hides that scale real good. I weight myself every 3 weeks, I get too grumpy if the scale does not move. I just put it in my closet, if that scale is in my bathroom I step on it, I can't resist, if I have to go get it and bring it to hard floor I have time to tell myself NO. During the 3 week span I use my clothes for encouragement.

Yea to baggy clothes

Alley, Don't get depressed everyone loses at their own rate. Just make sure you get your 60-80g Protein Shakes and 64 oz. of Water, walk as much as you can ( at least 30 mins a day ) and you'll get there. It's a journey for all of us, but as long as we keep at it we'll all make it. Good luck to you, and keep in touch.

Surgery 11/21/2012

I lost 30 lbs in my first 30 days. BOY was I excited!!!!. 2nd 30 days now and its only 8 lbs total. I used to torture myself with daily weighs and would cringe on the days the scale actually went UP! Now i try to weigh only every 2-3 days. I have also found the more I eat and the more I move, the more lbs I drop.

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

      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! 😞
