I haven't checked my weight since May 4th because I walk 4 to 5 miles a day and I'm just scared to stall so I just said I'll wait til next doctor's visit

Sounds like you will have a nice number when you do weigh! I know what you mean about being afraid of stalling. I only weight once a week right now and may change it to once every two weeks or once a month if I start losing slowly. I gotta see a decent number!

You have will power. I can never wait.

I'm trying to get a monthly mindset because I feel like if I stall I'll be so down and out

I weigh every day knowing that sometimes it stays the same but it does go down slowly... I have rarely gone up and if is does it is just 0.2 of a pound or so.

Yeah that's my fear it happened in the beginning after surgery so I just stopped checking

After I was miserable because of weight stall starting my 3rd week post-op, my doctor's office & nutritionist said to only weigh myself when I came in to see them.

Given that the next visit will be in 2 months & the one after that in six months that strikes me as just a tad unrealistic but I understand the larger point which was to focus on Protein counting & amount of Water drunk and not the scale b/c it's a distraction.

I normally have a weigh in once a week, i hate it when i stall too as it makes me question everything that i'm doing even though i know its all part of the process.

      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... :(
