Surgery was a little over 2 weeks ago

... And I'm already stuck. I KNOW My body is probably just still adjusting, but the scale hasn't changed in a week. It's kinda disheartening. Of course, it doesn't help that I'm not being able to drink as much Water as I should... if I swallow too much at a time, I get nautious...

Frustrating.

I'm three weeks and have been stuck for days despite walking five miles a day and getting my Protein and Water goals . I m just gonna believe in the process and trust it will happen . Maybe stay of scale for a week .

Hi,

The first week or two is rapid because of Water weight or so I've been told. Don't look at the scale everyday it will drive you nuts!

[ShilohD 70]

Yes. I know you're both right. My dietician also told me my body will be in shock for a while longer and it thinks im trying to starve myself, so its holding on to every ounce it can for a while... so, I guess I should relax. No more scale hopping. I am not going to look until at least Wednesday of next week...

Pack the scale away for a month. I know its hard but just focus on your daily goals and think about the weight further down the line. This is the time for healing, the weight-loss is just a bonus.

Congratulations

I agree with @_Kate_. Stay off of the scale for the first month. Your body is healing and making the necessary adjustments, so your weight will fluctuate. Also, almost everyone experiences the "three week stall" (search the forum for countless threads on it or just google it in general for more information). Concentrate on meeting your Protein and Water goals over anything else right now. If you follow your plan, the weight will begin to come off. Patience is really important in this journey!

Good luck!

Thank you, Kate. I have this shirt I bought before surgery. It didn't fit around my hips even last week... but, I tried it on just a bit ago... cause... well, just to see.... it fit almost perfect... I'm losing inches,even if the scale hasn't caught up.

I was sleeved on 3/1. I lost 15 lbs on 2 week pre-op diet and 15 lbs post op. The scale hasn't moved all week, but I'm down 2 sizes. I'm not going to stress myself and decided to weigh myself once a week.
