csawesome 181 Posted April 14, 2016 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.

jane13 2,256 Posted April 14, 2016 @@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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited April 14, 2016 by OutsideMatchInside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
csawesome 181 Posted April 14, 2016 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.

jane13 2,256 Posted April 14, 2016 @@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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristinJ78 28 Posted April 16, 2016 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.

Shellwash 0 Posted April 16, 2016 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.

kaitlynm 335 Posted April 18, 2016 @@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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
