So here is more of the story: I always weigh in the am after going potty. Like I said, I'd been stuck for a while. Yesterday I was 278. When I stepped on the scale this am, it said 266. I got off. I let the scale shut off and rest and then I tried it again. Again it said 266. Huh. My kids noticed what I was doing. Usually I'm very quick and it's over before they see. So they both came over to see their number (kindergartener is really into numbers!). Both kids were right where they should be. I took one to school and the other to daycare. I drank maybe 6 oz of Water in the hour I was gone. I got back on the scale when I got home and it was 276. Hallucinating or do I need a new scale?

After the scale being stuck for almost two weeks, overnight I went from 278 to 266! Is this real? Same scale. Same location on the floor. Same clothes. I was three weeks out yesterday. Because it was Halloween, I walked a LOT. HW 315 Pre op weight 298 CW 266

I've NEVER measured.

I confess that I still think about an ice cold Diet Coke. Every. Single. Day. I confess that if I am out making a decision about what is best for me to eat, I still order WAY too much. I confess that for ELEVEN days, my scale did not move and it terrified me. I confess that I can't wait for the day that shaving my legs and "stuff" doesn't require two hours and an oxygen tank! I confess that tonight at dinner, I snuck a noodle - Oh the HORROR! Can I keep going? I confess that I can't wait to read more and more and more confessions from others!

I had surgery on 10/10. My scale literally stayed on 282 for ELEVEN days! Yesterday I finally broke 280. I am having trouble getting my protein and water in. So I wonder if I am not loosing because I am not getting everything in that I am suppose to. I have been taking walks and yesterday even put together a huge, HUGE chest of drawers from IKEA. I guess all of this rambling is to say that I am right there with all of you in a plateau (ALREADY?) and I am wondering what it is that we are suppose to do? I do go to my doc/nutritionist on 11/11 so more pounds aren't coming off by then, I will ask what I am doing wrong.
