Probably another dumb question, but....



Recommended Posts

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??

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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
