After the scale being stuck for almost two weeks, overnight I went from 278 to 266! Is this real? Same scale. Same location on the floor. Same clothes.

I was three weeks out yesterday. Because it was Halloween, I walked a LOT.

HW 315

Pre op weight 298

CW 266

That's why the scale is only ONE measure. The tape is another!

Well done!

So here is more of the story:

I always weigh in the am after going potty. Like I said, I'd been stuck for a while. Yesterday I was 278. When I stepped on the scale this am, it said 266. I got off. I let the scale shut off and rest and then I tried it again. Again it said 266. Huh. My kids noticed what I was doing. Usually I'm very quick and it's over before they see. So they both came over to see their number (kindergartener is really into numbers!). Both kids were right where they should be. I took one to school and the other to daycare. I drank maybe 6 oz of Water in the hour I was gone. I got back on the scale when I got home and it was 276. Hallucinating or do I need a new scale? :)

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
