5 wks. post-op----- Help!

It's been 5 wks since my surgery. I'm feeling pretty good. I have lost 27 pounds. I have not lost anymore in 2 wks. I don't understand. Anyone of any opinions? Thanks soooo much. Holly

Hi Holly, You are on one of the dreaded plateaus. You will go through many of these. Trust me, the scale will move again. Blessings to you.

It has been 6 weeks since surgery for me and I have lost 28 pounds. I have noticed that I will not lose for a while then one day get on the scales and have lost 5. I think we are obsessing with the scales, at least I know I am. I want it "all" gone this moment! I keep telling myself, patience, patience.......

Holly, get rid of the scale. Only weigh when you go in to see your MD or when you are close to his office. Everyone seems to obsess over the scales, me too. But I finally threw them away. My MD's office is not far from where I live, so I try to pop in there once every 2 weeks or so and weigh. That way, you are so happy with the pounds lost. And besides, you must be feeling b etter after your loss and I know you clothes must be feeling better. Success is not judged only by the scale. Yes, we are all impatient. But it will come. Remember good things are worth waiting for and we want to get rid of this weight and not have to deal with it, ever again!! Keep up the good work.

Hi Holly, do no stress out!! Believe me it will move again. I was stuck too around 5 weeks for 2-2 1/2 but then bam 7 pounds were gone. Now Ive been that weight for 5 days or so. I think our bodies just need time to adjust. Hang in there!!~~Roxanne
