Weight loss stalled...*sigh*

I'm a month post op today (yay me!). I've lost 25 pounds between the pre op diet and recovery period, but now it seems like my weight loss has stalled. I know it's probably a combination of being super sick with a sinus infection and subsequently being on 10,000 medications, not being able to exercise due to said infection, and taking in more calories (never more than 1200 though). Still, it's hard not to be frustrated when you don't see the number on the scale change. Not to mention my scale is schizo and gives me a different reading each and every time so I really don't always know what I weigh anyway. Every time I look in the mirror I can see my weight loss and I'm proud of myself for that, but I guess I'm too impatient. Always have been. I have to remember that I didn't put this weight on overnight, although sometimes it seems that way!

I also know I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself because I'm getting married next summer and I want to look sexy and svelte in my wedding dress. They have to be ordered a long way in advance and I get anxiety just thinking about it...ugh. I wonder if my fat knows that and is purposely hanging around to piss me off. Screw you fat, I'm winning this battle and there's nothing you can do about it! I'll try to take a walk today and see if I can get my metabolism going without my sinuses acting up again and sending me into a delightful coughing fit. Also trying to up my water intake to flush myself out. Just gotta keep on trucking and pray this weight comes off!

normal for a halt in wt. loss after a while. it happens to many of us banders. it is very frustrating to say the least!!! But hang in there. Sooner or later the scale will lose the battle! LOL :)

you are doing great!! I keep telling myself "it took me 10 years to gaing 100 lbs, i cant expect to loose it all in 1 year". But there are people out there that can and do.

I am going slow...very slow.

My suggestion to you is not to take the # on the scale to seriously. I also have a wacky scale..I can step on it 4 times in one minute and it never gives me the same result. Look at your body and how it is changing..i feel at how my clothes fit, that makes me feel good.

Good luck!
