So Discouraged-Scale Hasnt Budged



Recommended Posts

Stalls are all part of the process. Perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Stay focused on following the protocol, stay active and stay away from the scales for at least a week and two would be even better if you can stand it. You're gonna love the new you!!

Join the club.... my scale has only moved a pound or two in the past month and a half = very discouraging but I increased my exercise and intenstity. My clothes are fitting lose now where they were tight before but the darn scale has not moved - I am in a major slum !!! Hopefully it will start to move again real soon. As DL said above stay focused and continue doing what you are doing, I keep telling myself this every day.. it will pass.

Please don't be discouraged. Think of the other things that can be happening, for instance like you said BB your clothes fitting better.

Do you have more energy.

Can you do something now that you couldn't do a couple of months ago.

Your body is just adjusting to this new weight and all of a sudden you will drop five pounds.

Don't stress. Do what you are doing. Move a bit more, Drink some more Water, and enjoy

the victories that you have already come to know. There are many more on the horizon, That scale is just

a number. Don't let it have so much power.

Hugs to you both.

Me too! I am early into this, my surgery was sept 27th. But I lost 18lbs the two weeks before surgery, 12 the first week, and now nothing for the past 4 days. It's discouraging :( I am not eating hardly anything other than yogurt and Isopure and Water but I am still not budging. I don't know of this is normal so early...

Practically anything is normal in the early going. Lol. Your body is going through a lot of changes and everyone's experience is a little different. Relax, trust the process, and give your body some time to find its own way. It will get there in its own time. That's when the really fun stuff starts!. You're gonna love the new you!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
