Please I need encouragement

I tried to prepare myself this am when I steppe son the scales- in fact- I missed my weekly weigh in by two days because I figured his would be when that stall everyone talks about would begin and I was trying to mentally prepare myself... Thought I was ready- but I guess I wasn't--- at three weeks post surgery I had lost 18 pounds and I was really happy with that- I weighed today ( 4 weeks and two days post surgery) and it's the exact same

I knows all about stalls and everything. Ut man it really hurts to see that number. I know it's a marathon and not a sprint but my brain just cannot see how I can eat how little I do and not lose weight. It's so shocking

Thanks for listening- just needed some support

@@tenseintexas Just think - 18 lbs in 3 weeks - that's an incredible loss! When have you ever done that before - and managed to keep it off?? Your body needs time to adjust. Just stick with your plan - meet your Protein and Water goals and the weight will come off again! Measure yourself and watch your body changing - even though the scale might not be moving right now!!! Stay strong!!!

@@tenseintexas I know how you feel, but I'm learning to trust the process. I was sleeved May 23/16 and I'm 40lbs down. I have gone through several stalls already and each one I think "this is it, all this for 20...30..40lb's etc." But then suddenly I will drop 4-5lbs more. Hang in there, it will come! Your doing great!!

The weight doesn't fall off. Please start living your life, eat right, and ditch the scale. Put it on a shelf and weigh monthly if it bothers you so much. In one year, if you follow your plan, you will be amazed at your results!!!

Pay attention to your carbs and portions. Every month i go up a couple of pounds and then go back down. I do usr my scale nearly every day it keeps me motivated do if I'm up. I watch what i eat for a couple of days. I may even go back to my soft food diet for a couple of days. Also if you are experiencing heart ???? your portions are likely to big. Sometimes i have tho eat my meals in 2 shifts half now and the other half o.k. an hour or so. Drink drink drink nest of luck.

I think you're doing great. 4 weeks 2 days total, and you're down 18 lbs. To lose two pounds a week, one has to cut their calories by 1000 per day and you're averaging ~4.5 lbs a week. I think that's incredible. Hang in there emotionally, we're all going through this together. *hugs*

I'm in the same boat! I am about 5 weeks out, lost 18 lbs and then I've stalled for the past week and a half! It's been so frustrating. I'm trying to just embrace it, keep following the plan, and not worry...but it's easier said than done!

I did take measurements and noticed some losses there, so that's good.

But hey, I'm still at the lowest I've been at since at least 2007. Focus on the positive!!

I feel the same I had rny on the 14.05.16 and from the day of my operation until date I only lost 66 pounds. I know it seems a lot but I can't help feeling I could have done better. Or I don't know...I m dissapointed.
