I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

Need advice! Today marks 2 weeks post op. I lost about 7 lbs in the 1st week but nothing at all in the 2nd week. The 7 lbs were more like 10 days worth... What am I doing wrong? I have never heard of a stall this early on! Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I was feeling the same way. Lost 8lbs the first week, .5lbs the second week and I just weighed in this morning for week 3 and the scale finally moved I've lost another 4.5lbs. Yay!! Just keep doing what you are doing, I think it is our body just adjusting. Don't get discouraged. You can do this!!

Amie...thanks so much for the support...really needed it today

I lost 12lbs in the first 2 weeks post- op so I know you feel. I am supposed to weigh myself today but I am a little apprehensive to see the results, but will press forward. Stay the course and all will be fine.

I weigh the exact same I did at my week two check up.. I actually went at day 12 and my diet was advanced... I had surgery 2/18. I've not lost a pound in 10 days! I got so discouraged. I didn't west real well yesterday. I had half of a Krispy Kreme donut... BUT I didn't have this surgery to live on a strict diet for life. My "goal" was to get off diabetes meds...

Hang in there mastiff_mama. The scale will move for you. Try upping your protein and water to jump start your metabolism.

Im 8 days post op' date=' and Im down 14lbs. I think there are some very important facts we all need to remember. First, the scales are our enemy! Most want to weigh in daily and expect losses but as many have pointed out we are losing sizes and not always weight. Either way we are getting where we want to be. Second, we didn't put the weight on overnight, and cannot expect it to come off overnight! This is a journey (marathon) not a instant fix (sprint)! Keep the faith, stick to your plan, and stay off the scales! We all will get there, but at different paces! We just have to remember why we made this choice, stick to our decision, and WORK at it!! We all knew going in this is a TOOL to assist US not a instant cure for being fat!! [/quote']

So true. Thanks Lifesaveremt for the much needed reality check.

Ok, I will quit being discouraged about stalls. I was sleeved 2/14. I had my huasband take measurements on 2/10. As of this morning I have lost 8 inches in my waist and hips. 3 in the waist and 5 in the hips. Yipeeee!!!!! I am still in the same size jean, 20, but very loose. Just not quite an 18 yet. Oh yeah 254 on 2/7, 228 this morning.

UGH! Scale hasnt moved in 8 days

I have also fallen victim to the dreaded stall! Mine has lasted for two weeks. Was getting really down until I tried on some of my clothes....4 bags went to Goodwill!!! As frustrating as it is, I know that all I can do is keep following the postop eating guidelines, exercise, and the weight will come off. Since starting the Bariatric program, I am down 50 lbs and around 20 since my surgery on 2/19. Never in all my life have I been this successful at losing wt.

Sleeved on 2/20 lost a total of 25 lbs this sucks!!!! I thought by now I would be down 50 I went from a size 18 to 14 let's see.

Sleeved on 2/25 lost 31lbs so far and down 4 sizes.. I'm loving my sleeve..

I was also sleeved on 2/20 also and am at 207 from 224 on DOS. My doc said 10 per month so I figure only 3 more to go by 4/20. Remembering that really helps me keep the "only losts" to a minimum.

First stall this week. Down exactly 40 lbs since being sleeved on 2/26. I refuse to weigh myself more than once a week. Not panicking yet. We'll see what next week brings. My clothes are fitting diffe even though the scale didn't move.

Great job. Our weight loss is running on the same schedule. I was sleeved on 2/22 and as of last Friday, I'm down a total of 39 lbs. Tomorrow is weigh-in day for me.
