No weight loss since I got my period...

Hi all just wondering about this I had surgery on 12.12 and felt like I was doing well. But I got my period and the scale hasn't moved! I'm really frustrated by this. I have a call into my doctor's office, but I'm wondering what you all think. Has this happened to anyone? Could I be doing something wrong?

Looking forward to hearing what you all think.

Thanks,

April

  • During my TOM, I either don't lose or even gain a lb or two. It comes off right after. It's normal to retain a little. It's ok. Don't let it discourage you, just keep doing what you're supposed to do.

  • At about 3 weeks or so your body kind of goes into shock and it needs time to catch up. The initial loss of pre and post op usually stops or slows significantly for a bit. Give it w few weeks... it us

Thanks guys I appreicate it. Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Im almost 120 days out, and down 66lbs. Since surgery. Im not the fastest loser, and haven't been able to exercise much due to some injury issues. However, I have plateaued a few times. It is VERY frustrating, but I start losing again every time. I still weigh myself daily, but I know that Im on the right track.

Trust me, the scale will start marching down again for you, just give it time. Your body has to catch up to that loss :)
