What I'm I doing wrong



Recommended Posts

I've been stuck in the same weight for the past week it's driving me nuts, every time I weight myself I'm either 261 or 263 I was sleeved 11/19 see today I have my monthly friend but it has been the same before I got it, I've lost 27 and 17 of those since surgery but come on I'm getting tired of not seeing the number go down I'm just getting so mad I feel like I did this surgery and it's not working :(

What you are experiencing is a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process. Everyone experiences periodic stalls, and the first one usually occurs about three weeks post-op. We do not lose weight at a constant rate.

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, take your Vitamins and supplements as directed, and exercise when cleared (walking is great until you are able to do more strenuous exercise).

If you are going to let the numbers in the scale drive you crazy, then consider weighing less often.

Embrace the Stall!

Have someone hide the scale, or, better yet, take it out of the house. Start focusing on your program: Protein, Fluid, exercise, instead of the scale.< /p>

And in answer to your question, what you're doing "wrong" is focusing on the scale, instead of your program.

I gained 8 pounds after surgery. That's due to fluids, swelling ect.. Today I'm down 10 but still feel bloated

Have you joined a gym yet? This is one way to help break the stall.

Stay off the scale. Don't compare your progress to anyone else's. The weight loss will come. Everyone loses differently. Focus on your nutrition. I can't stress enough stay off the scale... Because that will stress you out and stress definitely impacts weight loss.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
