Broke plateau!

Connorsmom · May 17, 2005

Surgery was 1/24/05 and I have been stuck at 297.5-299.5 for a while now. I had a stomach virus yesterday and I weighed myself this morning and the scale said 292.5!! I hope it counts and is not just being sick! Everyone has been telling me that I have lost more weight and I kept saying that I wish my scale would say it! Also a few fellow wls people have told me that this is how weight loss works for some of us - you will hit a plateau and then boom - a loss!

Thanks

Great! I hit one too, and finally I am starting to move again. While you are not seeing the scale move, you will usually lose inches, so remember that you are still losing. Good luck!

Nice job!

Try and remeber though that us "bandsters ca not let the scale dictate our success, as hard as that is

Like Betty said even though the scale doesnt show it, you are still losing inches.

A loss is still a loss right? Congrats! Don't forget to track your inches lost as well as watching the scale.< /p>

Good for you! I just broke a plateau myself. It's weird -- even though our good eating and exercise habits don't change, sometimes our bodies just like resting at a certain weight, then - BOOM! - down we go.

Trish, you've got the right attitude to your early banding weeks: heal first. Still, it's nice to see those pounds gone! You'll be safely in the 200s in no time -- and the 100s are within sight.
