Despite my scale going up by three pounds this week, today my regular pants wouldn't stay up. I put on jeans that were too small when I bought them three years ago. From a 26w presurgery to 22 (with a small waist) a little over 2 weeks post op.

Embrassing the stall.

@@csawesome - the NSVs are THE best in my book.

I love the scale moving, because I am a scale junkie, but I REALLY love the NSVs!

Did you measure yourself? A lot do, I didn't, but I do have a pair of shorts that I was wearing that were tight pre-WLS.

I notice I don't drop weight and inches at the same time. If I drop inches my weight stalls. When i am losing weight, I don't seem to lose many inches.

Bodies are amazing things.

I should start measurements. I didn't.

I thought I would be super cool and not worry about scale, or measurements, just trust and stick to the program. Then I remembered I am a type A and broke down and weighed myself yesterday. *Of course as soon as I saw increase and remembered why I didn't want to weigh myself to begin with.

@@csawesome don't let the scale rule you.

Make a mental note, think about what you did, or didn't eat the last couple of days (did I eat a lot of salt filled food, get my Protein in, did I make good food choices). And move on~

What is on the scale TODAY can be from what you ate a couple of days ago. pizza tends to add a few lbs for me. I rarely eat it and NOW its thin crust but it does stall the scale. So does Pork rinds, nuts, cheese, pre-packaged deli thin lunchmeat...

I had three NSV last week. A shirt I ordered deliberately too small fit, my work clothes are too large now and don't need safety pins to hold the shirt closed, and my jeans that I'd bought 2 years ago and barely fit then, now require a belt. I'd thought after being sleeved 3/1 that I'd be further than 37 lbs down (especially after losing 28 the first week)... But these NSV's are keeping me going for now.

I had my surgery on 3/17. I have not seen a change whatsoever. I'm feeling very discouraged. I am a scale junkie and every time I get on it it stays the same. I've been walking ALOT and I'm trying to get my Protein in. Can anyone relate or is it just me? In trying not to let depression kick in. Please any advice is welcomed.

I know my 3-week stall started before week 3 and it's coming off slowly...

@@Shellwash have you talked with your surgeon? There is no way that you should be a month post op and not have lost anything. I would check with your surgeon for suggestions as to what is happening.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
