Probably another dumb question, but....

Ok, I'm just over two weeks post surgery right now. The first week i lost about ten pounds which was great. Then i haven't really budged since then. Just hovering back and forth within two pounds. Here's my question...even though the scale gives me nothing right now, my clothes are completely huge on me suddenly, my face is obviously trimmer and where i used to be all heavily packed in, I'm getting soft, if that makes sense. What's the deal with the scale?? Is there a reason the numbers aren't going down even though my body's showing me that I'm losing??

I feel the same way!! Had the bypass on 12/6 and have been hovering at 20 lb loss but i can see a difference in my face and my clothes fit better! I hate getting on the scale lol

So, maybe this is normal? I don't understand it though. How can i be losing weight without losing weight, right? I've been trying to find all the posts about this, but haven't really found anything. At least I'm not the only one with this "problem" so maybe it is just a part of the deal!

Are you sure you mean losing weight and not losing weight?, could you mean losing inches and not losing weight? , because that has been on threads for discussion before.
