Scale keeps bouncing. 204, 206, 203, 204, 207 OMG, 202, 204, 203.

Make sure to check the batteries in your scale if it has them. Mine were low and it was adding weight and not being consistent. I also discovered if its not in the same place on the floor it changes the reading high or low. Very annoying when it flips in a range of 4 lbs and you have no idea if you lost or gained!


I used to call that “Fat Kid Denial” when you start to make excuses as to why the scale is going up. Or when you put on a shirt and it doesn’t fit and you say “Oh this must have shrunk” or you try one on at the store and it is too small and you say “oh this 4XL must run small in this brand”

That is literally my fantasy - it turns out that the scale was wrong and I’ve lost all this weight!

Going on three weeks of this crap.

Please don't tell me to up my Protein or increase my exercise or cut my carbs or sell my soul to Satan.

I've already done all of these things. They don't matter. Sometimes you just get fecking STUCK for weeks and you suffer and glare at the scale and want to punch someone. It figures this would occur right before onederland. (shaking fist at the sky)

LOL.

Not looking for advice. Just wanted to complain openly so others experiencing this irritating reality don't feel alone.

To my brothers and sister in StuckVille....I feel your pain!

I'm in the same boat! scale is all over the place, I am so eager to get to ONDERLAND I should have known i would have this stall right before. Hang in there, Your doing everything you need to be doing.

I feel your pain. I was stuck at 200 for almost two weeks. Was really excited to get to onderland but didn't think it would ever happen. Now I'm stuck at 190 going on almost two weeks. This too shall pass. LoL

Yeah, kind of in one too. I’d gotten lazy about not writing down every morsel of food so I went strong on that, and I did see some cals creeping in where they weren’t needed. I’m hoping that is a quirk that will shake that scale down. I was getting really used to the scale dropping weekly and I’m not likin this.

To all in Suckville, ((hugs))!!! No words, just SUCKS!!!!! GHDWL (Ground Hog Day Weight Loss=where you wake up each morning and lose or gain the same weight over and over again) is the pits!!! LOL, I spent 89 days in the 230s. It felt like an eternity. I wanted to make like a coyote in a trap and chew one of my legs off, just so the scale would move!

      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.
