Weighed Sunday and lost 1lb, weighed today to check mid week progress and I'm exactly the same!!! Not even an ounce different.

I'm working out, eating healthy, (hardly anything because band portions are a joke with an empty band) getting in ALL my Protein, Vitamins, and Water. What gives??

Don't weigh yourself! Weight loss can be measured in other ways like inches, how your clothes fit etc. also, you only lose about 1-2 lbs a week. Sometimes you'll gain a pound or trip just because of Water retention. Throw the scale in the closet and don't focus on the number.Good luck on your journey and try not to become too frustrated!

Yes - stay off the scale! Especially when you find that your moods fluctuate with what the number says. I weigh every other week, because I cannot afford to take the scale driven roller coaster ride. If you are doing everything right, the weight is coming off....whether you see it on the scale immediately, or not.

Sunday was only 4 days ago. You can't realistically expect to lose weight every day or even every week. That's simply not how it is.

The average weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week with the band (not per day).

My personal advice is for you to weigh yourself morning and night. See what foods cause you to gain weight. Weight gain or stagnation isn't always caused by increasing body fat. Some foods heavy in sodium or carbs can cause you to retain fluids but your scale can't tell the diff between Fluid gains and body fat increases.

For me, knowing what affects my body is important, so tracking daily is important. For others, it's too complicated or too emotional to track.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
