You haven’t “officially” stopped losing weight! Sounds like you’re hitting the 3 week stall everyone talks about. Keep doing what you’re supposed to be doing and don’t let the scale stress you!

It absolutely will come off. Your body is trying to adjust to its new regimen and eating lifestyle. By three following week you should the weight start coming off again. It did for me.

I'm using a smart scale - I step on it, pay no attention to the number it records and then look at all the stored data at the end of the week on the app on my phone. Hoping to keep this trend up as it stops me from fixating on numbers and lets me focus on how I feel and look instead of what the scale says.

      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! 😞
