Wls 2/13. Scale Isn't Moving:(



Recommended Posts

I know this all will take time but to see weekly progress even if only one pound would be encouraging and satisfy my question of was this even worth it?

The first week home, hell week as it was, was an 8lb loss, then from there the bext two weeks were only 3 more.

It'll be a month this coming Tuesday the 13th and I've gained three pounds this last week and lost one. Yes gained:(

Yes I am following all the diet and exercise and Water advice my NUT is giving me. I'm getting in all my Proteins and not eating crappy stuff.

I'm not cleared to exercise with weights so it isn't a matter of weight being more due to muscle mass.

I do feel hungry all the time but since I use the app tracker called my fitness pal on my iPhone I am very clear of every Protein, fat, carb, and so on thy I'm consuming and my NUT says I'm doing perfectly!

So why aren't I losing?

Seems so odd that someone can be eating as few calories as I am, drinking an ocean of Water, taking 9 damn Vitamins a day and walking or treadmilling over an hour at minimum 7 days a week.

This weekend ends a month of Sadness and frustrating at the least....

I am going through the same thing, scale hasn't moved in a couple weeks. I try to concentrate more on how much better I am feeling already and that my clothes are for sure fitting looser. Even though you are not lifting weights, you are building up muscle walking on the treadmill and I bet loosing inches. Give your body a chance to adjust to the major change it just went through. I have 1 pair of pants I am using to judge how I am still losing inches even though the scale isn't moving. I had them on last week and they were a little looser on me, but then I put them on this week and they were falling down without a belt even though no change on the scale!

I feel exactly the same way. The only thing that keeps me going is that with as little I eat, my body has got to catch up at some point. My clothes are getting baggier so something is happening. It's hard to not see the scale move after all this work. I think my biggest surprise is that I thought I'd lose more quickly.

2/13 here also. If you're doing it right, it WILL catch up. It has to. It's mathematically impossible for it NOT to. I've stalled out for a few days here, but plateaus happen. Then the drop. It's coming, don't worry. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

Look at it this way: How many posts do you see on here that say "I've done everything right for _____# of months and I haven't lost any weight and I'm still huge. eh? eh? That should encourage you. :)

I didn't lose an ounce in February, but I lost THREE pants sizes. I did drop 3 pounds a couple of days ago, and I'm excited, but I've been literally watching my body change shape in the last couple of months. From round to more of an hourglass. Keep the faith, follow the plan, and enjoy the journey!! :)

Some of the most noticeable "loss" according to my hubby was while I was in a 3 week stall...I didn't loose any weight but I lost inches.

Do your jeans seem loose? Did you know your waist size before? I bet you have lost inches if not lbs.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
