cindymg 629 Posted August 26, 2013 My surgery was july 9 fist month j lost 25 pounds and have not lost any weight in about 3 weeks is this normaldde29 Have you measured yourself? Sometimes we lose inches, but not scale weight. Every time I think I am not losing weight, I just go try on my clothes. When I see jeans that I bought just a month ago (I am 3 months post op) that are now baggy on me, I know things are going in the right direction. That said, if you are following your surgeon's instructions, then you are doing the right things and the weight will come off. You could do yourself a favor and not obsess over the scale. In fact, you could get rid of it, and resolve to weigh only at your doctor's office. That's what I do. In 3 months, I am down 52 lbs and have never had a "stall." There may have been days, even weeks where I didn't lose scale weight, but overall I've lost 4 lbs a week, and that's pretty darn good in my book! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
celine 12 Posted August 26, 2013 Hello, I PUT THE scale AWAY SINCE I HAD MY SLEEVE. i CHOOSE NOT TO BE ANYMORE A SLAVE TO THE SCALE! I WHEIGHT MY SELF ONCE A MONTH AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THAT. I DONT WANT TO KNOW IF I GAIN OR I HAD A STALL. THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR MY NOW IS TO ENJOY MY LOST AND BE HAPPY WITH MY SLEEVE. I DINT GAIN MY WEIGHT IN A FEW MONTH , SO A FOLLOW ALL THE RULLS AND THAT IS IT. IF YOU RESPECT THAT, THE WHEIGHT WILL GO DOWN BY IS SELF. I AM A SLOW LOOSER AND THIS IS OK WITH THAT. ENJOYE EVERY DAY OF YOUR SECOND CHANCE TO IMP^ROVED YOUR HEALT! CÉLINE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marfar7 1,533 Posted August 26, 2013 My surgery was July 16th and I've only lost 18 lbs. But I started at 174 so I expected I'd lose slower. My opinion: The slower you lose the better chance you have keeping it off. Don't worry about it. You'll get there eventually Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
