One week post op and scale won't move

[jack&kota 0]

I know plateus are common and that some say that before the first fill is for healing, but after losing 9 lbs since my surgery, I have have weighed the same for 3 days and then was up .4 lbs today. I am taking in about 500 calories a day and my sirgeon did not seemed concerned. I have been running non stop as this was my first week back to school and I went only 5 days after surgery. The only thing I have done differently has had a few Soups out (strained) becuase we were entertaining guests. I have been walking and walked 50 minutes yesterday and took an hour long power walk today.

Any advice??

Your body is adjusting..it is familiar with your past diets~it fights the weight loss~it will slow down metabolism~ and then get confused when you don t return to binge eating and the weight will fall.

Stop weighing every day~do what you are instructed to and be prepared for a pleasant surprise in a few days.

Keep in mind~you will not fail with this.! It will work.

I have been at a "leveling"plateau for about 2 months....losing only 4 #s.,,then one day -i m down 3#s---~~3 days later 5# s more...and i haven t done anything different.

If you aren t losing pounds~you are probably losing sizes.........good luck to you~~you will succeed.
