Is There Something Wrong With My Scale?



Recommended Posts

After weeks of losing 1 lb a week, (low BMI to start with), I've lost 2 lb in 2 days! I'm 13 weeks post op. Do you think the battery in the scale is dying lol? Could this be true?

Nope I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it. I've had a 4lb loss one week after only losing 1-2 lbs a week. Your body is just gonna do what it's gonna do...good and bad!

I also had a low BMI (31) prior to surgery...so I can completely relate to your post. if I saw a 2 pound loss, I'd definitely think my scale was broken and would make my husband weigh himself to see if the scale was still working! I've only seen increments of +/- 1 pound losses since surgery so any loss larger than that would shock me!

@sukik Glad to hear your scale is working! WOO HOO!!

I am almost 4 months post op on Monday, and I have lost consistently every week. Now I know I started higher than some but knock on wood I hope it continues!!

Celebrate your loss and keep doing whatever you are doing, it's working!!

      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.

      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! 😞
