I think I broke my scale...



Recommended Posts

I think I broke my scale because it hasn't moved in 5 days.

I know it is a stall and I know my body is working itself out. It is just frustrating. I had hoped to be 8 pounds lighter today and I am not. Praying I can get through this stall and my body will keep up the hard work of losing weight.

Had my VSG on Aug 26 and so far, by my calculations, have lost almost 24 pounds.

Thanks for letting me vent.

24lbs is an awesome loss!!! You should be very proud...it all happens in time just keep following your plan. I was sleeved 7/17 and I'm down 56lbs, I can tell you the lbs come off when they are good and ready too! Best of luck and stay positive.

(Funny joke.)

You're doing great.

Our bodies do their own thing.

And we have to do OUR own thing.

Eventually, we both get to the same place. :)

@@TwoGoldens give it time. you are what? 4 weeks post surgery? a stall at this time is normal. your body is adapting to its new lifestyle. stick to your plan and you will see that broken scale fix itself soon.

I have been stalled forever!! Got where I hate the scale! Received a letter from my cardiologist yesterday with my blood work....not enough Vitamins, thyroid is too low, ....etc. in other words I need a lot of adjustment. Maybe when all of this is straighten out I will start losing again and become friends with my scale again!

I Lol'd when I read your title because I thought yes indeed I have broken a set of scales or two in my time too (after all we are in the 200 pound + to lose section).

But it appears you did not mean that you literally broke them under your weight.

In addition to the scales that met their demise when I stood on them I have been given and then killed 3 mini stepper machines. I had to stop using my treadmill because once I exceeded 300 pounds because it started to rock from side to side !

PS My Dr's scale weighs me 4kg heavier without fail but he swears blind they are correct. Don't let me get started on the scales at the gym ...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
