LadyLocutus 41 Posted May 20, 2012 Thank you all. I want to remain positive but I think when I don't see the scale move I am back in my mind to the way it was before surgery. Onyx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimW 38 Posted May 20, 2012 The scale had not moved for me in over a week but I keep having people tell me how much they notice the loss. I am doing lots of excercising & I am sure I am not getting enough of my liquids in. It is so hard! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

armywifet 26 Posted May 20, 2012 I will do it too! I did weigh myself today. My husband set up his racing scale for me today I was curious how much I lost, my starting weight was questionable due to the fact that the week of surgery I get PMS and my cycle. It made for a crazy hospital stay. It was hard to determine what was menstrual pain/side effects and surgery side effects. So I may drop weight quickly at first due to that issue.

armywifet 26 Posted May 20, 2012 Kmiller, I had my surgery Tuesday as well! I came home Friday though. Did you have issues or just wanted to be careful? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmiller 146 Posted May 21, 2012 I was an open surgery so I had staples to deal with. I quickly discovered that I became lactose intolerant, but that's ok. I came home on Thursday, and went to my granddaughters dance recital the next night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blankmama 16 Posted May 21, 2012 Congrats to everyone on their progress and for those of you who didn't see a loss just remember that your body's weight can fluctuate daily and muscle weighs more than fat. Also just be proud of yourself for taking this step to a healthier you and don't compare yourself to others, we all lose at different rates. Good luck!

Good luck![/quote'] Thank you for those words of encouragement... because its so easy to compare yourself to others then thus the discouraged feelings when your weight loss isn't as great or fast as theirs. Those words were words very relevant to how I so often feel. Thank you soooooo much Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk 1 blankmama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

josee67 40 Posted May 22, 2012 Lady that's the way I look at it 1 lb at a time good job lady's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blankmama 16 Posted May 24, 2012 Remember everyone, if you lose 1 pound, that's 4 sticks of butter gone. That's good. 1 pound a week is still 52 pounds in a year. 1 berniec reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neen 3 Posted May 24, 2012 I haven't done the weekly weigh in but have lost 9.4kgs (20.7lbs) since I started this journey four weeks ago. And 6kgs (13.22lbs) since my op on May 8th. Weight is moving slowly,.... It feels like but still going down. Still got a way to go yet but excited about the changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
