Scale not moving

[Banana2363 21]

So for the last 3 weeks my scale has not moved! Getting super frustrated! I have lost 30 pounds since pre op start oct 4.

Suggestions?

I don't think your doing anything wrong, our bodies sometimes have to adjust as we lose weight or at least mine did. I would suggest you take your bust, waist and hip measurements at the very least so you can compare them when you don't see the scale move. I had many inches victories in the past 2 years when the scale did not move. I will also share with you that I honestly thought I would be at goal in 12 months but it did not happen for me that way, at 12 months I had lost around 68 to 70 lbs and I sat at the same weight for months. But I did lose inches and dropped a size. My point for sharing is that do not allow yourself to become frustrated and only the use the scale as a measurement. These days people would guess I weigh around 110-112 lbs but I average between 128-132. Just stay positive and the scale will move as long as you are following the program. Good luck to you.

Without knowing if you are sticking to a certain calorie count and portions I cannot identify a specific area to work on.... But i drank lots of Water, counted every calorie and measured and weighed my portions...even when the scale didn't move so I knew it was just a matter of time.... If you are doing that I would just keep on doing it... And one day you will wake up and the scale will be on a brand new number.

I totally understand your frustration. I do not count calories yet, because I am still experimenting with what foods I can tolerate. My most frustrating is the week before "Aunt Flo" arrives. I gain an average of 5 lbs! Yikes!! And since my Aunt is never regualr, it makes it all the worse. Ah, but after she leaves I lose the 5 and a couple more and am happy again. What a roller coaster! I am going to take Loves advise and take some measurements. The scale is always the best judge. Hang in there!

I was banded Oct 3, 2012. I feel as though I do not know how to use this band as a tool. My Dr. has different "rules" than most. Do not eat with a meal, as a meal or at least 1.5 hrs after a meal, anything I want to eat, unless you have to eat with a spoon, including oatmeal, no oatmeal. No calories when drinking, only when eating. only 3 meals a day, no Snacks. My Dr. does not have a good bedside manner and he is very very fake, acting like he cares when he doesn't. I've had 4 fills. I have not thrown up or got stuck at all. scale is moving very very very slow. I am losing inches, but do not understand why I gain and lose the same pound every single week for months now Very frustrated.
