Weight at a stand still

[Roo101769 742]

My highest weight was 316lbs. That is the weight I was when I made the decision to have surgery. During the process to get approved for surgery I decided to start eating a bariatric diet ( not so much quantity but the types of foods) I went into my surgery on 10/21 weighing 283lbs. Today I weigh 229lbs. I have had stalls. I will be the FIRST to admit I am not a "perfect" patient. I do not work out enough and I do eat things (on occasion) I should not. My weight is inching down though. I weigh less now than I have in over 18+ years. I am not going to give up either. I realize the further out you get from surgery the harder it is to drop the weight, but that won't stop me. I cannot say for a fact I will get to my "goal" weight. What I can say for a fact it that every pound I drop is a pound closer to healthy for me. That is the true goal, the rest is just numbers. Do not be sidetracked by the scale. Yes, it is good to be mindful of it and to see where you stand. But a scale is just one way to track your success. Get your measurments and keep track of them. Each time you go a size smaller you know you are losing, even if the numbers on the scale aren't where you want them. You had the surgery, now expect the process. This is part of the process. It is forever, so give it some time.

Thanks. I eat 700 calories 6 days a week and once a week I eat up to 1000 - 1200. I haven't stalled yet since I have been doing this. I continually shock the body. Try not to stick to the same routine.

Weight loss will come gradually, everyone is different. Trust that you will lose weight, follow all instructions and you will succeed. Your body is still adjusting to the surgery and shock.

Keep strong and have faith. ; )
