post op stall now moving

[Liz The New Me 281]

Today is 4 week post op from the sleeve. I had a 3 week stall on the scale. Talk about frustrating. Don't know if it was my doing or just recovery time for the stomach. But it finally move on the scale today. Went to doctor today and I thought it's like when you bring your car in for service and everything is working just fine. LOL But the Doc said tracking it daily is ok but look at it as an average. What is the average weekly, monthly. Do not get hung up on the daily because it could be anything from holding Water, bm, more muscle's.

So tracking the average loss per week or month is a better guide of how you are doing. So that is a relief that nothing is wrong or that I'm not screwing it up!

Learning to eat as slow as Molasses is the next chapter, when you are full pretty much all the time. Stay strong everyone. 😎👌

I can only weigh weekly. If I weigh more often than that, I get too obsessed with that pesky scale. I'm almost 7 months out, and I'm still having a hard time with slowing down when I eat. I still have to work on that. It sounds like you're doing a great job! Keep up the good work!

Average is Average... it's ALL data sets combined and then divided by the total of data sets. I'm a daily tracker, I don't really stress too much over the little ups here and there, it's the whole of the set that matters, are you trending downwards or trending upwards?

If constant weigh-ins are stressful, don't do them. Other things are of far more value to your immediate progress like tracking water/fluid intake in etc.

Safe Journey
