Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted October 22, 2015 Yes, you are being impatient. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, follow your surgeon's instructions, and stay off the scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belly B. Gone 6 Posted October 22, 2015 Everyone loses at different rates. Having patience and faith is a struggle, I know. The weight will come off as long as you're following your plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KindaFamiliar 3,867 Posted October 22, 2015 Hi @@fharris My 'trick' has been to stay right away from the scales. I was sleeved in late Feb this year and have only weighed myself twice in that time.. The first time was apoprox 6 weeks post surgery and the other was maybe six weeks ago (I'm not 100% certain) I could tell all along that I was losing weight by the way I felt and the way my clothes started to hang off me. But by not weighing, I've missed out on all the angst re stalls and such things... I've had a few 'bad' weeks lately, so I've not even thought about weighing in. On Monday I'll be 'relaunching' my focus on what I consume and will probably leave my next weight check until just before Christmas. I know this way is not for some (most) people, but it's really worked for me. Good luck with your new mission... And keep up the Water and protein!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnA92212 577 Posted October 22, 2015 I weigh everyday...sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. I am just about 6 months post op. It is frustrating though. If you can help it stay away from the scale. check in once a week or once every other week so you don't get frustrated. I only lost weight about one week a month. I don't change anything I do. I end up losing about 7 to 12 pounds that week to week and a half, but still frustrating. It will come off as long as you are following the plan. Good luck!!!!
