Damn scale!

[Essence46 493]

I hate the scale. I really do. I have to step away from it sometimes to keep from driving myself insane. Just hang in there.

Thanks for helping us keep a proper perspective about the scale @@gowalking .

I've been struggling with getting below 200 for over a month now. Even tho the scale isn't moving much except up and down within the same range, the inches are still dropping , therefore, I don't sweat too much about the scale. It is frustrating, tho, to be working so hard and the scale not budging.

@@meSparkle83 - keep on keeping on!! It will come down!!

I just finished the 48hr pouch test and loss 7lbs I had picked up

It reassured me that I had not stretched my band/ pouch and got me over a stall prior to gained weight. Lots of Water and Protein.< /p>

What is the 48hr pouch test?

I would hit a stall for 2-3 weeks. Then suddenly 5 lb loss. Hang in there.

PS I weigh myself twice a day. I don't want to find out at the end of the week that I put on 5 lb. Easier to compensate when you may have added 1 or 2 lbs.

I hope it is moving for you again. sometimes I just want to throw my scale out the window... stalled for the last 3 weeks. my first real stall. I won't let it get me down. we shall prevail.

What are you eating? What/how much exercise have you done? Maybe we can find some hidden fat or sugar for you to weed out!

[Chrystee 838]

How far out from surgery? What is your Protein, caloric, Water intake? Are you eating anything you shouldn't be? Are you exercising?

I am pretty miserable about this myself... ive been between 240-243 for the past 2 weeks. its so frustrating, because logically i eat WAY less than i used to. I am almost 6 weeks post op and ive lost 17 pounds only since the day i went in to surgery. On my post op diet i lost 7 pounds so i guess a total of 27 lbs since april 16th. I feel like i am slacking. Pretty dishearting.

I've been trying to eat a lot of Protein. I've found myself drinking a ton of watered down cranberry juice, lemonade light n drinks like that.

I'm going back to my shakes, Water & crystal light now because something has slowed, stop n add pounds to my body..

It's frustrating..

I walk everyday and now I've started jogging and stairs.

I'm a little over 2 months post-op.

I don't eat much so I know I'm under 1,000 cals. I'm hitting close to 75-100 protein n yes, I've discovered potato chips ( I wasn't too big about them pre op)

Yes I exercise daily.

My scale isn't moving but I know I'm shrinking be cuz clothes aren't fitting but I want to see the numbers..

Cranberry juice has a lot of sugar in it ... typically it's "cranberry cocktail" and not really juice. Good job getting back to the roots. You got this!

I stalled for 2 weeks, added more Protein and calories and viola, lost 6 lbs last week! You can do it!!
