2 weeks out, only 10 pounds down



Recommended Posts

I'm trying not to get discouraged but tomorrow will be 2 weeks and I'm only down 10 pounds. I'm getting all my Protein and Water and have not cheated at all. I walk a mile everyday. Anyone else go through this? Any advice to get the scale moving? Thanks.

You are still really early out...Your body is still trying to figure out what you did to it.

You've been living on a starvation diet, you've had surgery and you removed most of a major organ. Cut your body a break and let it heal and recover. The weight will come off.

I had similar feelings when I was very early out and my husband hid the scale from me. I was weighing daily, sometimes more than once a day. He brought the scale out once per week.

My suggestion for you is to stop weighing if is causes you grief or anxiety - it's not worth it. Take your measurements - this helped me greatly during stalls (I lost inches while in a 4 weeks stall). Also, take lots of pictures - it's fun to run thru the pictures and see yourself shrinking.

Don't get stressed! Your body is just trying to figure this out. It will happen periodically. You will lose weight! Don't get discouraged & don't cheat!!

Drink more Water, increase the length and speed of your exercise and stay off of the scale. Keep meeting Protein goals and it will happen.

Def just keep following the program and you will loose over time. (Stalls will be frustrating but your baldy needs to adjust. Look at the before and after pics threads and they should help keep you motivated????

      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?

      April Surgery
      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... :(
