I am 2 months post op. My nutritionist told me to stop weighing myself because I was going crazy and go by how my clothing feels.

Now I'm pissed off because I think if I was weighing myself more frequently I would have seen how slowly I was losing and done something sooner.

I exercise in the pool 1 hour a day 6 days a week.

I am getting in my Protein and most of my Water every day. Only had a minor cheat with alcohol for the Boat Parade.

I went to my primary doctor yesterday and even though I"m down 3 sizes in pants and 2 sizes in tops I have only lost 17 lbs post op.

I'm happy with the smaller sizes and am telling myself to be happy but I have to admit I'm a little pissed off. I lost more weight before I did the surgery. I lost 25 lbs in 6 weeks pre op and only 17 in 8 weeks.

I usually have 3 oz ricotta cheese with Protein powder mixed in for Breakfast, lunch is organic turkey breast with a little cheese to total 3-4 ounces together and dinner is usually a bean and meat chili with some protein powder mixed in.

I'm thinking of doing Protein shakes for a couple of days to see if that gives me a boost.

I am not having any form of sugar and the only carbs I had were a week ago when someone posted that they ate hash during their pureed stage. I didn't think about hash having potatoes until I ate a portion. I used that for 3 meals just to use it up but am not buying that anymore.

Any suggestions? Thanks

If you got down to the size you want to be, but the scale never budged, would you be OK with that? food for thought.

I don't know why the scale isn't moving for you, but if you have lost that many sizes, things are definitely moving rapidly in the right direction. Just pretend your scale is broken and keep going.

I like this. Sometimes we get so caught up in the numbers (raises hand ????????). I weigh myself every day.
