Why won't the scale move? ?

[READY TO LOSE IT 91]

I guess im really just venting because I know or at least I hope the scale will eventually move....but I havent lost anything in 9 days. I was 7 weeks post op on tues and Ive lost 36 lbs. 7 preop. Im not doing anything different than I have been. Only eating between 600-800 calories a day. It just seems so early on for such a long stall. Im trying not to dwell on it because I know it unfortunately isnt going to happen overnight. But just a little down about it....

Because your body is adjusting - rearranging the deck chairs so to speak.

I seem to stall every three months or so for a hard month - then it starts to move again. Rarely do my cals go over 900 in a day, but I have to always be on it to get all of my fluids in - which is what I think impedes my losses. i am starting to ramp up my exercise now as well.

don't forget it isnt a race - you will get there, your body will give it up when it is ready - just keep following your Dr. and NUT's plan.

Thanks for the advice and words of encouragement. I will continue with my plan and try to practice patience.
