Probably another dumb question, but....



Recommended Posts

Ok, I'm just over two weeks post surgery right now. The first week i lost about ten pounds which was great. Then i haven't really budged since then. Just hovering back and forth within two pounds. Here's my question...even though the scale gives me nothing right now, my clothes are completely huge on me suddenly, my face is obviously trimmer and where i used to be all heavily packed in, I'm getting soft, if that makes sense. What's the deal with the scale?? Is there a reason the numbers aren't going down even though my body's showing me that I'm losing??

So, maybe this is normal? I don't understand it though. How can i be losing weight without losing weight, right? I've been trying to find all the posts about this, but haven't really found anything. At least I'm not the only one with this "problem" so maybe it is just a part of the deal!

Are you sure you mean losing weight and not losing weight?, could you mean losing inches and not losing weight? , because that has been on threads for discussion before.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
