Scale keeps bouncing. 204, 206, 203, 204, 207 OMG, 202, 204, 203.



Recommended Posts

Going on three weeks of this crap.

Please don't tell me to up my Protein or increase my exercise or cut my carbs or sell my soul to Satan.

I've already done all of these things. They don't matter. Sometimes you just get fecking STUCK for weeks and you suffer and glare at the scale and want to punch someone. It figures this would occur right before onederland. (shaking fist at the sky)

LOL.

Not looking for advice. Just wanted to complain openly so others experiencing this irritating reality don't feel alone.

To my brothers and sister in StuckVille....I feel your pain!

Ok I won’t tell you any of those things. I’ll tell you this in case your not doing it already. Cut out ALL liquid calories including shakes & drink nothing but Water. Maybe that’ll help if your not already doing so.

@creekimp13

The only thing I didn't do was sell my soul lol. [emoji23] I was in "stuckville" for about two weeks and it finally ended the other day. Yes, it sucks big time!! Especially when you are sooooooo close to a goal. We will live to see another day though...hopefully!

Seahawks...no worries! My point was...if you're stuck, too, you're not alone:)

My nutritionist assures me it's very common and that it's all about patience and remaining consistent.

Was just sayin....hey all you other stuck people....I feel your pain!

(I'm not really worried about it, just feeling kinda impatient)

I ain't got **** for advice to offer anyhow. But I can commiserate. I am sure you've done the whole "measure yourself" thing. How're you feeling otherwise?

Funny how it always happens around a major weight too. It’s like the scale knows!

It’s so frustrating this journey we all are on. I’m grateful but still frustrated.

I am having the same issue. How far out are you? I am just over 6 months and the scale keeps bouncing. It goes down and then it goes up and then it goes down and then it goes up. I too am sick of it.

Make sure to check the batteries in your scale if it has them. Mine were low and it was adding weight and not being consistent. I also discovered if its not in the same place on the floor it changes the reading high or low. Very annoying when it flips in a range of 4 lbs and you have no idea if you lost or gained!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
